Everything We Need to Know is Right Under Our Nose
Despite numerous lectures, podcasts, and books written about sleep and breathing, and the constant search for improvement, have we overlooked the intricate connection between the small reactive organ we call the nose and our overall health further emphasizing the importance of proper nasal function for better breathing? How are you (nasal) breathing?
In the fast-paced world we live in, we often overlook the power of a simple act that sustains us every moment of our lives: breathing. Nasal breathing, in particular, holds remarkable benefits for our overall health and well-being. From the healthcare provider to the patient, ‘Breathe Through Your Nose, Don’t Pay Through It’ seeks to create a global shift in awareness and knowledge of the far-reaching consequences of compromised nasal function, such as respiratory issues, sleep disturbances, systemic inflammation, changes in posture, and overall well-being. An overview of potential barriers individuals face in accessing appropriate treatments, and how the healthcare industry shapes the availability, accessibility, and affordability of screening and treatments related to nasal function and breathing empowers the reader with knowledge to navigate the complex healthcare system.
By drawing on more than three decades of healthcare experience, this book is a call to action from an insider perspective for greater awareness and advocacy, urging readers to prioritize nasal health and demand the healthcare system promote positive change within the healthcare system by placing equal importance on screening, prevention, and early intervention as it does comprehensive treatment options for sleep and breathing disorders.
