The Most Bizarre Pulmonary Advice on Social Media Episode 1

Welcome to the BluZone Banter for the Cozy Lung Lounge, the podcast where we debunk myths, tackle misconceptions, and have a little fun exploring life with chronic lung disease. In this inaugural episode, we introduce our dynamic hosts: Kelly Lewis, RRT, a seasoned registered respiratory therapist with a passion for patient education and pulmonary rehab; Gina Hoots, RRT, a pulmonary expert who blends clinical insights with relatable advice; and Amy, our exercise physiologist who knows how to turn any challenge into a fitness opportunity. Together, they bring years of experience, evidence-based knowledge, and a touch of humor to every conversation. The goal of Cozy Lung Lounge is to empower anyone living with lung disease—whether it's COPD, ILD, or asthma—to live a better quality of life. While we may focus on COPD, we welcome all pulmonary warriors and their caregivers to tune in. Each episode aims to educate, inspire, and connect listeners to practical strategies and reliable information. In this episode, the team dives into the most bizarre pulmonary advice they've encountered on Facebook and TikTok. Each host shares two examples, discussing and debunking each in under five minutes. From "miracle cures" to fitness myths, we’re separating fact from fiction with a mix of clinical expertise and lively banter. We’ll also touch on the top five COPD myths, such as “COPD is rare” and “Only smokers get COPD,” to show why having a health coach can be a game-changer. Be sure to stick around for a sneak peek at our next episode: “Christmas Presents for a Pulmonary Patient: Do’s and Don’ts.” Whether you’re looking for a gift idea or a little holiday cheer, we’ve got you covered. Tune in, laugh a little, and breathe a lot easier with Cozy Lung Lounge!
