Most people’s knowledge is surface level, and we aren’t educated on the importance of the lungs or how to best support respiratory health. Dr MeiLan Han joins me in this episode to explain what the respiratory system is, how it works, and what we can do to optimise it. Dr MeiLan Han is a Professor of Medicine and Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan. She is also a spokesperson for the American Lung Association and author of *Breathing Lessons: A Doctor’s Guide to Lung Health*. On top of many other achievements, she has authored over 300 publications in numerous journals. As an incredibly well-informed medical practitioner and researcher, her insights in this episode open the conversation around lung health and offer valuable advice you can implement. In this episode, Dr Han establishes what the respiratory system is and how it works. We discuss the prevalence of lung conditions, Covid-19 and its impact on the respiratory system, and air quality. We also discuss healthy habits for pregnancy, the effects of smoking and vaping on lung health, diet, and how to reduce exposure to toxic compounds.
