For the past few years, I've gone down an interesting rabbit of hole in my lifelong health journey. Starting with respiratory allergies, leading to sleep apnea, and most recently punctuated with a septoplasty and turbinate resection. The sensation of being able to breathe through my left nostril for the first time in my life was unlike any other. This ease of breath created a new curiosity, which led me down a mountain of research around hidden costs and benefits of breathing. My procedure was covered by insurance, and knowing the actuary industry I'm sure they have data backing this up. I went to find it for myself. Below, you'll find various metrics and correlations that I found interesting, in no particular order. I've included the source data and links to the original studies.
