Jim's Review
🐛
Jim breathes through his skin (worm perks), so this is a tough sell. But Nestor's deep dive into nasal breathing, ancient techniques, and modern respiratory science is genuinely fascinating. The self-experiments are wild, and you may start judging every mouth-breather you see. Four worms — it'll change how you think about something you do 25,000 times a day.
