We discuss the realities of lung function, looking at the lung microbiome, dysbiosis, the concept of leaky lung, and the gut-lung relationship, and explore how lifestyle, exercise, and nutrition impact lung health and how sleep deprivation and stress can lead to lung infections and inflammation. We also get into specific diagnoses related to lung health, the effects of environmental toxins, and the latest cutting-edge research on probiotics that may benefit lung health, and touch on the consequences of long-term steroid use for chronic conditions and how menopause impacts the lung microbiome.
