Asthma Relief: Lifestyle Changes That Work Better Than You Think for Asthma Control w/ Dr. Atoosa Kourosh

For most people, asthma is a disease you manage with inhalers, pills, and a prayer that the ER isn’t your next stop. But new research is upending that view and changing everything we know about managing the condition. 

The big shift? Medication alone might be the least effective way to manage this chronic condition. 

Asthma is, after all, inflammatory by nature, but the lifestyle choices that fuel or fight inflammation are often ignored in traditional care plans. 

What if the real triggers aren’t just pollen or pets, but processed food, poor sleep, and unchecked anxiety? And what if healing asthma requires more than bronchodilators, like learning how to breathe all over again? 

So what does a truly modern, whole-person approach to asthma look like? 

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, an Asthma, Allergy & Immunology consultant physician and integrative medicine leader who’s spent two decades treating asthma from every angle, not just the pharmaceutical one.

We dive into what the latest science says about lifestyle as medicine, and how breathwork, nutrition, exercise, and gut health are changing the game for asthma patients everywhere.
