HOW I CURED MY LIFELONG ASTHMA OVERNIGHT

I suffered from asthma for 38 years

At times it was debilitating - getting in shape helped a ton - but it was always there

Until last Spring when I cured my asthma overnight & ran a marathon!
I haven’t taken any meds since 6/2 & ran a marathon in November with -zero- breathing difficulty

As a lifelong asthmatic being free from meds is incredible

I’ve taken Ventolin, Proventil, Advair, Breo, Singular, and others over the years

Now I take nothing

How did I do it?
It starts with 100% nasal breathing

I always was a mouth breather but nasal breathing is far superior

It is the way we are designed to function

Once you start nasal breathing you will never forget & go back to mouth breathing - the difference is stark!
It is a challenge at times due to my chronic congestion

I figured if I stuck with it my brain would eventually figure out to make me less congested (and it has)

I also did some simple breathing exercises called Buteyko, named after a Soviet doctor who developed them
The exercises work by retraining your mind & body

If you have been asthmatic for your entire life your mind & body are probably not optimally set up to regulate your CO2 & O2 levels

You can fix this through training

I’ve also practiced diaphragmatic breathing

This is harder to incorporate full time but is worth it, you breathe deeply fully inflate your lungs from below rather than shallow from your upper chest

There are many techniques, I recommend @WimHof_Iceman https://www.wimhofmethod.com 
I train for Ironman races, ran a marathon & I never struggle to breathe

I’m free from my lifelong attachment to expensive medications

I am not a doctor, I am only telling you what worked for me

My asthma was real but psychosomatic

I was able to overcome it with my mind 🧠
