Martin McPhilimey - Invidious

Martin McPhilimey

I help health-driven people — and the coaches, therapists, and practitioners who guide them — separate real breath science from wellness hype.

I'm Martin McPhilimey, a respiratory & sleep scientist and founder of the School of Breath Science. With 15+ years across clinical, academic, and coaching settings (including St Bartholomew's Hospital), plus dual Master's degrees in Sport & Exercise Science and Clinical Science, I break down what the research actually says about breathing, nervous system regulation, and sleep — and call out what's being oversold.

Expect educational breakdowns, practical breath work, and the occasional myth-bust — all grounded in physiology, not trend.

Subscribe if you want the science of breathing without the sales pitch.
