⨠Sleep better, feel better â and ditch the gunk.

Restorative sleep plays a vital role in overall wellness and early prevention. When your body sleeps well, it restores lung function, regulates inflammation, and strengthens your immune responseâkey defenses in maintaining long-term respiratory health.
Poor sleep, chronic snoring, or untreated sleep apnea can lead to oxygen imbalances and ongoing stress on your lungs, creating risk factors that deserve attention.
This month, take inventory of your wellness: rest deeply, move intentionally, and talk with your provider about both your sleep quality and lung health. Awareness starts with observationâand thatâs where prevention begins.
Better sleep supports more than your energyâit supports your lungs. đđ

Ever been referred for a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and wondered what itâs for?
A PFT is a non-invasive test that helps us measure how well your lungs are workingâhow much air you can move in and out, how fast, and how efficiently oxygen travels into your bloodstream. đŤ
You might be referred for one if you:
⢠Have asthma, COPD, or shortness of breath
⢠Are preparing for surgery
⢠Need to assess the effects of medication or treatment
⢠Have symptoms like chronic cough, wheezing, or fatigue
At The Respire Institute, we use advanced tools and a patient-first approach to get to the bottom of your breathing concerns.
