This video just in as a laugh forwarded by my cousin...but look at how this little girl is imitating the sexy open-mouth and tongue expressions so common these days on snapchat and tiktok. My point for this page is that it's not a habit leading to healthy breathing at all. As a mom of a teen-age girl, it drives me crazy for lots of other reasons...

Very poignant -- we're sharing air with everyone who's ever lived...

A recent study uncovered an interesting fact: A significant portion of people with uncontrolled asthma smoke pot, and up to now it hasn't been on medical radar to have doctors routinely ask about cannabis use. It surprised me that over half of the cannabis users in this study who have asthma were smoking it, Joanna Zeiger, PhD, an epidemiologist and CEO of the Canna Research Group, said in a press release. And further, of those with uncontrolled asthma, half reported smok...ing cannabis. We also found that people with asthma are not routinely being asked or advised by their physician about cannabis and how they are consuming it. https://www.bignewsnetwork.com//study-on-uncontrolled-asth https://www.healio.com//survey-many-cannabis-users-with-un

I can hardly read the news these days without tensing up about something. There seems to be so much conflict out there. This morning I read about a dad who accompanied his teen daughter to talk to a boy from school who had been bullying her. A fight ensued, shots were fired and he never made it home. I know firsthand as a person with an asthma history how fear, even if it's low grade, can end up negatively affecting my breathing. It contributes to what we call "chronic hidde...n hyperventilation". If you want to learn more or talk about your own experiences, join me online at "Fear and Breathing" this Friday 1/29 at 7 p.m. PT online. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/136737271861

There's nothing scarier than not being able to catch your breath. Fear tends to make us breathe faster and harder, and then that rough, out-of-control breathing can generate more fear, sometimes leading to a downward spiral that's hard to stop. Some of my scariest times have been encountering an asthma trigger when I wasn't expecting it, so I didn't have my inhaler on me.... This evening will be a time to discuss this emotion in conjunction with breathing conditions, and I will introduce how to learn and practice self-management tools to prepare for when the unexpected arises. I don't record these events and keep them because I want people to be able to talk freely, so please come live if this is something you might be interested in. https://www.facebook.com/events/415218849742733
