It results in wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness and is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. ✔️ https://bit.ly/3e90oqs

In this video, I walk you through my personal technique, explain why it works for me, and share practical tips you can adapt to your own routine. As always, this is education and lived experience, not medical advice.

Post-Operative recovery made easier: the VersaPAP® device provides gentle, quiet lung expansion to help treat and prevent atelectasis.

Positive airway pressure increases tidal volume and protects against airway collapse on exhalation, preventing post-operative complications associated with atelectasis.

From the upper lobes to the smallest bronchial branches, RTs understand the lungs in a way few others do.

That deep clinical knowledge guides every decision they make and every breath they help restore.

Here’s to the RTs who study harder, think faster, and care deeper so their patients can breathe better.

Living with bronchiectasis means more than managing symptoms—it means advocating for your health every step of the way.

Here’s how to stay proactive:
✔️ Work with your specialist to build a care plan
✔️ Ask questions about your treatments and medications
✔️ Learn breathing and airway clearance techniques
✔️ Stay up-to-date on recommended vaccines

The more you know, the more empowered you feel.

A new year is a great time to focus on habits that support your whole body, including your lungs. According to the American Lung Association, lung health isn’t about quick “detox” fixes, but about everyday choices like avoiding pollutants, keeping indoor air clean, and staying active.

An article by BBC News recently explored how to detox your body, including simple steps to support your lungs’ natural ability to take care of themselves. It’s a thoughtful read as we head into the year with wellness in mind.

Children who rely on asthma medications during school may never receive them due to gaps or breakdowns in the established processes.

A new $4.1 million NIH-funded study led, by Marina Reznik Montefiore and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, aims to help fix that issue by creating an electronic system that helps caregivers, clinicians, and schools stay connected, ensuring students get the treatment they need.

Monaghan Medical is proud to support better asthma outcomes through evidence-based devices like the AEROCHAMBER® PLUS FLOW-VU® family of chambers and the AEROECLIPSE® II BAN® Nebulizer, designed to help medications reach the lungs effectively.

A huge thank you to my readers. So many of you have taken the time to leave ratings or reviews, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. It helps others find my book more easily and, just as importantly, helps people feel less alone while living with bronchiectasis.

Many of you have also reached out asking about whether I might write another book. I’m certainly thinking about it. In fact, sometimes I wake up early in the morning with a book outline already forming in my head. But first, I need to wrap up two other projects I’m currently working on. After that, I’ll give a new book serious thought.

In the meantime, if you haven’t read The BE CLEAR Method to Living with Bronchiectasis, for under $20, it’s an informative and compassionate guide to what I often call “BE-land.” Much like a tour book, it provides an overview of our disease and shares how I was able to clear a MAC infection, see significant improvement on my CT scan, and live my best life while managing bronchiectasis.

It’s not medical advice, as I’m not a clinician. But it is evidence-based when evidence exists, and it’s grounded in real-life lessons learned from living with this disease day in and day out.

If you already have my book or aren’t quite ready to make that purchase, there’s always plenty of free education available. I post on social media almost every day, have over 180 videos on my YouTube channel, and a website blog at letsbecleartoday.com.

I also publish a quarterly newsletter with must-know information, including updates on clinical trials and practical tips. And as many of you know, if you have a quick question, I’m always happy to help with a quick answer.

I have a bit of a secret sale going on right now. I haven’t advertised it because I’m heading to Mexico in early February and want to be sure I leave openings for my regular coaching clients. But if you enjoy a good sale as much as I do, you can head over to the consultation page on my website and book now. I’ll need to take it down once my pre-vacation schedule fills up and it’s getting close.

Thank you again for allowing me to be a tour guide on this journey.
