NSRP for Asthmatics
Do you feel stressed and hopeless because of your asthma?
I understand how you feel. I was diagnosed with asthma as an infant and relied on strong medications throughout my childhood and adult life. Regular asthma attacks sometimes led to hospital visits and using a nebulizer. While the episodes eased during my teenage years, they returned with force in my late twenties.
Cold, damp weather made things worse, especially in autumn when my lungs would contract, and I struggled with blocked airways, loud, wheezy breathing, and frequent chest infections. I was highly allergicāanimal dust and certain foods triggered attacksāand mouth breathing only made my chest infections more frequent. Despite having my tonsils removed and nasal passage surgery, my breathing didnāt improve, and respiratory infections were a constant issue.
But thatās all in the past. Today, I no longer have asthma and no longer use any medication. In this training, Iāll share how I made that transformation.
If you had asked me to picture my lungs back then, I would have imagined scarred, diseased tissue, like the images you see on cigarette boxes. I never thought I could completely overcome asthma. Now, after years without an inhaler, my experience of my lungs has changed. I see them as healthy and vibrant, like upturned trees in my chest, providing oxygen and nourishing my body.
I didnāt realize how much stress I was carrying, but today, I feel like a completely different person.

The noisy and heavy breathing of an asthmatic had always been considered an outcome of the disease... Nobody could even suspect that āheavy breathingā was the cause of bronchial asthma, and increased volume of breathing could provoke the appearance of the symptoms of the disease - K P Buteyko MD
My Last Inhalers
I framed the last inhalers I was prescribed for asthma: a Ventolin inhaler and two strong steroid inhalers. These will be familiar to many of you. I began using similar inhalers before the age of three and never imagined I could live without them.
However, through lifestyle changes and a specific set of breathing exercises, I have transformed my respiratory health. I no longer suffer from asthma.
Notably, I no longer experience the allergies that used to leave me with a constantly blocked nose or hay fever. While I still pay attention to my diet, many foods that used to trigger asthma attacksālike butterāno longer cause any allergic reactions. I believe this improvement is because my body was once overwhelmed by layers of inflammation that my immune system couldnāt manage. Once the underlying causes were addressed, my system became far more resilient.
Another significant change has been in my stress response. I hadnāt realized how stressed I was, caught in a cycle that only worsened my condition.
In the picture frame, Iāve inscribed the words āIn emergency, donāt break glassā as a reminder that, even if I face challenges, I now have the knowledge, skills, and practices to manage them.

COACHING SESSIONS
Ā
The weekly coaching sessions are designed to introduce both theory and breath-work exercises.
Did you know that, as an asthmatic, you typically breathe 1.5 - 2 times more air than someone without asthma? The issue isnāt a lack of air, but rather that youāre breathing is inefficient.
Have you ever considered that the heavy, noisy, labored breathing could actually be causing your asthma, rather than just being a symptom of it?
In this training, weāre going to change the way you breathe!
THE DAILY NEWSLETTER
Ā
Each day, you will receive an email newsletter tailored to support your journey. The content will vary, with examples including follow-up emails after each coaching session that outline your homework practices for the week. Youāll also receive newsletters with dietary suggestions, ranging from cutting out sugar to exploring an autoimmune elimination diet. Additionally, there will be worksheets to deepen your understanding of the mind-body connection, as well as tasks like spending time in nature.
These newsletters are designed to share the key practices and lifestyle changes that have transformed my own breathing and well-being. Completing the suggested tasks is a vital part of the program and will significantly impact your results.
IS THIS PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOU?
Ā
This program is designed to benefit you if you have asthma, provided you commit to the practice and make the necessary lifestyle changes. I believe you will see significant improvements within two weeks, but if you donāt practice, you wonāt experience the benefits. Iām so confident in this that I offer a full refund if you donāt notice improvements, as long as you have completed the assigned homework.
If you have severe asthma, I recommend private sessions instead of the group program, as you will need extra care and the exercises will need to be tailored to your condition.
Pregnant individuals should wait until after childbirth to join the program. If you have a chronic medical condition, whether physical or psychological, please consult your physician before enrolling, and make sure to inform them that the program involves breath-holding exercises.
Above all, you are responsible for your own health. This program is not a substitute for medical advice, and itās important to work closely with your physician throughout the process.
