S02_E12 - Getting Control of Asthma
Asthma is something that an estimated 26 million Americans live with every day and approximately 10% of our kids. Living with asthma can be a challenge, especially if it's uncontrolled, and in 2019 the CDC estimated that around 10 people in the US die from asthma daily. But still, people with controlled asthma run marathons, scuba dive, and play 90+ minutes of soccer (David Beckham) regularly. So how does one get it under control? What is it, exactly? Do you ever grow out of it? And how are our treatments progressing?
Join us on episode 12 for a conversation with Hennepin Healthcare Allergist and Immunology expert Dr. Josh Dorn, who cares for many patients living with asthma. We'll go over the origins and contributors to this condition, what it's like to live with asthma (including Dr. Dorn's interpretation of wheezing...), and discuss the current and emerging treatments and therapies used to help people get their asthma under control.
Check out this excellent summer camp for kids with asthma!
