Program Description:
We rarely think about breathing well until it becomes difficult. Allergies and respiratory issues can interfere with daily life, disrupting sleep, limiting activity, and lowering overall quality of life. Left unmanaged, they can progress into more serious conditions like asthma.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, identifying and minimizing exposure to common triggers—like pollen, dust mites, and mold—can significantly reduce the risk of asthma attacks. Lung function testing also plays a key role in effectively diagnosing and managing these conditions.
This session will explore practical tools and strategies to help you better understand your triggers, protect your lungs, and take charge of your respiratory health. With the right approach, you can breathe easier, stay active, and feel your best year-round.
