How’s your breathing lately?

There's a recurring pandemic, mysterious bugs are going around, forests are on fire, and the air is polluted. All of which can cause significant respiratory issues.

But what can we do?

Safe, simple, and inexpensive practices can help you stay healthier and breathe easier.

Beyond washing hands and wearing masks, you can also irrigate, disinfect, balance, ventilate, and filter.

Why it matters

Meet the ecosystem that helps you breathe.

It turns out that respiratory health is closely connected to a microbiome: not the one in your gut that's been in the news, but the one in your nose and mouth.

Like the microbiomes in your gut, in your lungs, on your skin, and around your genitals, it is an ecosystem of billions (yes, billions) of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms. Usually they conspire to help keep you healthy.

But sometimes they get disrupted. The disruption is called dysbiosis, and it can make you sick. Good respiratory hygiene can help prevent it.

Studies have shown that who funds a study can shape what it finds.
