Asthma & COPD Respiratory Care
Optimizing lung health through proper inhaler technique, avoiding environmental triggers, annual influenza and pneumococcal vaccination, and emergency action plans.
- Personalized Asthma Action Plans
- Peak flow monitoring & trigger management
- Smoking cessation & air quality awareness
Lipids & Metabolic Wellness
Understanding cholesterol numbers (LDL, HDL, Triglycerides). Managing metabolic syndrome through aerobic activity, plant-focused diets, and lipid-lowering therapies when indicated.
