About Asthma

Breathing problems are scary, especially in kids, and many families come to DrTalks looking for what's driving them. Wheezing and shortness of breath, asthma that flares with allergies, frequent infections and congestion, and asthma alongside eczema or ADHD in children are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the lungs. Asthma is tied to the immune system, gut health, mold and indoor air, household chemicals, air pollution, and the way you breathe. You'll find conversations on helping kids with allergies and asthma, mold in children, hidden chemicals in cleaners, pulmonology basics, and breathing retraining. Doctors, pulmonologists, naturopaths and breathing coaches explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from allergy and home mold testing to imaging and sleep studies, and what helps, from medication and cleaner indoor air to breathwork, nasal breathing, diet changes and gut support.
