It's another mucky day in SLC due to the inversion. Steve and Holly speak with the Utah Division of AirQuality Director, Bryce Bird, about Utah's broader plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions through the Beehive Emissions Reduction Plan.

Regulation is key to keeping our air clean, which in turn keeps us healthy. But the Trump Administration has been cutting funding and attempting to slash important clean air rules that jeopardize the planet and our health. What do these policy changes mean, and how can organizations help fight back? Part of the answer is going to federal courts. Nicholas Nassikas, MD, Harvard Medical School, and Andrew Mergen, Harvard Law School, discuss the legal actions the ATS has taken to oppose rollbacks of essential Clean Air Act rules with host Gary Ewart, MHS, chief of advocacy and government relations for the American Thoracic Society.

 The "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed as HR1 is projected to dramatically cut Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Host and Air Health Our Health podcast creator Erika Moseson, MD, MA, speaks with Texas-based pediatric pulmonologist Shade Afolabi, MD, about how these potential cuts could lead to devastating consequences, including children being unable to access medical care, soaring medical debt for families, worsened health outcomes for adults and children, instability in the healthcare workforce and more. 

We now have more information about how e-cigarettes can affect adolescents. It is tragic, because kids had really gotten the message that cigarettes are bad for you, but candy-flavored e-cigarettes seem safer and lure them in. Kids who start with e-cigs are more likely to become smokers, use other addictive substances, have depression and attempt suicide. I recorded a Breathe Easy podcast for the American Thoracic Society on this topic with Dr. Laura E. Crotty Alexander, a lung doctor who studies e-cigarettes in the lab. Listen and learn about how e-cigarettes can affect youth in your community and what can be done to help them break free and ideally never get addicted in the first place.What can you do?Learn about how a comprehensive flavor ban may help your state or community with the episode Breaking States Free from Flavored Tobacco & Why it Matters.

 Endotrachael intubation is a highly important critical care procedure, and as such, clinicians are working to improve the procedure to ensure the best patient outcomes. As Stephanie DeMasi, MD, MS, assistant professor of emergency medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, goes through the detailed review she wrote, along with her colleagues, on different evidence-based decisions clinicians face when intubating a patient, with host Eddie Qian, MD, Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Read Dr. DeMasi's paper, "Evidence-based Emergency Tracheal Intubation": https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rccm.202411-2165CI 

 Lung cancer is commonly associated with smoking. However, among people diagnosed with lung cancer, the proportion who have never smoked has been increasing, and there are many reasons why a person who has never smoked may develop this disease. Lori Sakoda, PhD, MPH, ATSF, a research scientist and epidemiologist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, explains what factors may come into play, what the ongoing research shows, and what knowledge gaps exist on this topic. Patti Tripathi hosts. 

The lung Composite Allocation Score (CAS) was implemented in 2023, and has shown to increase lung transplant rates and lower waitlist mortality. Host Alice Gallo de Moraes, MD, of the Mayo Clinic, interviews experts Mary Raddawi, MD, of Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Amy Skiba, of the Lung Transplant Foundation, on the importance of CAS and how it has changed outcomes for lung transplant patients. 

 This Giving Tuesday, we have a special episode of the ATS Breathe Easy podcast. Wildfires are a destructive phenomenon that decimates communities, infrastructure, and wildlife. But wildfires and wildfire smoke are also severely damaging to human health, especially for those who have lung disease. Stacie Reveles, of the Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute, talks about her struggles living in wildfire country with a child who has cystic fibrosis. She discusses everything from dealing with medications and evacuations, the mental toll, and the importance of continued research into these illnesses. Air Health Our Health podcast creator Erika Moseson, MD, MA, of Legacy Health in Oregon hosts.

In this episode:Can smiling make you perform better? We know that when you are happy that you will smile but it turns out that the relationship may be more of a two way street. that is to say, if you smile it can actually make you happy as well. On the Medical Mailbag we look at some fascinating science that suggests smiling can have some pretty important impacts on performance. Plus, I chat with Will Hicks, the brain behind the Air Track app, which does the heavy lifting of tracking air pollution like a hawk with a PhD. With a mix of traffic data, meteorological conditions, and some AI wizardry, this app offers insights that could make even the most oblivious runner stop and think twice about their chosen route. Will shares how understanding the local air quality can help athletes reduce exposure to pollutants, and let's be real, nobody wants to inhale a cloud of diesel fumes while trying to crush that PR. Spoiler alert: it turns out that even a couple of blocks away from a bustling street can drop your pollution exposure by 30%. So why not take the scenic route? The episode is packed with actionable advice, a dose of sarcasm, and the hard truth about how air quality impacts our health and performance. Who knew a little data could go such a long way in keeping us breathing easy while we sweat it out on those trails?Segments:[06:26]- Medical Mailbag: Smiling to perform[36:36]- Interview:Will Hicks LinksWill's Facebook page @airawarewill on Instagram Will's Website Will on YouTube places2swim web site

 Smoking is the main risk factor for COPD in the United States and many other countries. However, it is important to recall that there are other causes of COPD, from birth experiences to environmental exposures. COPD expert Meilan K. Han MD, MS, University of Michigan Health, discusses non-smoking causes of COPD, what patients can do to manage their symptoms, and how clinicians and communities can help. Air Health Our Health podcast creator Erika Moseson, MD, MA, of Legacy Health in Oregon hosts.

As new studies uncover better treatments and practices, it is important to develop new clinical practice guidelines to ensure patients receive the best care. Julio A. Ramirez, MD, Norton Healthcare and University of Louisville, and co-lead of the guideline panel, dives into the process of creating an update clinical practice guideline for community-acquired pneumonia with host Eddie Qian, MD, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as well as the importance to the medical community and patients when making key care decisions.

 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that cause airflow obstruction and other respiratory problems. There are various options for treating COPD, including the highly effective controller medication that helps improve a patient's lung function in the long-term. But as Antonio R. Anzueto, MD, professor of pulmonary and critical care at the University of Texas Health, San Antonio, explains, it is not easy for patients to use these medications. Listen as Dr. Anzueto and host Amy Attaway, MD, Cleveland Clinic, discuss the effectiveness of different COPD treatments, how COPD can affect other organs, and how AI might play into diagnosing COPD as technology advances. Support for this podcast is brought to you by Viatris and Theravance BioPharma.

Vaping and e-cigarettes are often incorrectly thought of as thought of as safe, but research has proven this to be untrue. They are particularly unsafe for the developing brain of children and adolescents. Laura Crotty Alexander, MD, from the University of California, San Diego, explains to host Erika Moseson, MD, MA, that not only does vaping often lead to users moving on to traditional tobacco products, but it also has a major impact on mental health and mood that could be deadly.

Song: Breathe Easy Music by: Karly Loveling   Notes: When I heard this song of Karly's, I couldn't wait to tease apart the harmonies -- and I find I sing it to myself at odd moments -- its kind, gentle advice lets me release into my own wisdom. What's funny is I came to record it in a bit of a rush, after a rather stressful day and knowing I'd be travelling in the morning, so I really had to get it done... and the breath of song did its thing. As I taught it, my heart eased, my breath deepened, I reconnected to my own wholeness -- and by the end of the episode, I was loathe to stop! I'll be curious to know if your body responds the same way?   Songwriter Info: Karly Loveling is a seasoned songleader, songwriter, and permissionary of heartfelt expression. For over two decades, she has been guiding voices and hearts through community singing, classes, and workshops in Eugene, Oregon and beyond. Karly's journey in Oregon began with a formative chapter at Lost Valley Educational Center, where she immersed herself in personal growth workshops and forged lasting connections. With a background in dance and a degree in the field, she co-founded Coalessence Dance, an ecstatic dance community that continues to thrive, with Becca Perry in 2006. Karly's love for community singing deepened through her many years at Singing Alive, where she led song circles and found inspiration among fellow songleaders from the gathering's inception through 2023. In 2013, she founded the Hummingbirds Girls Choir, whose joyful harmonies became a beloved feature at the Eugene Saturday Market, Holiday Market, and the Oregon Country Fair. In 2015, Karly launched Singing Heart, a community singing group, which inspired her to complete the Community Choir Leadership Training in British Columbia the following year. Singing Heart is proud to be part of the Ubuntu Choirs Network, affirming the principle that everyone can sing and that singing builds connection. Karly's often playful, layered, and meaningful original songs are sung by songleaders from Appalachia to Ireland. She currently offers in-person and online classes, leads retreats, and shares her work at community singing gatherings across the country.   Sharing Info: This song is free to sing, but Karly always welcomes and appreciates financial and networking support.   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:02:34 Start time of reprise: 00:14:16   Links: Karly's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/KarlyLoveling Karly's Bandcamp: https://karlyloveling.bandcamp.com/music Singing Heart Harmonies: https://singingheartharmonies.com/ Karly's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karlyloveling   Nuts & Bolts: 3:4, melody & 2 harmonies   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

The Father Hoods crew is back with a fresh drop! This time, it's DJ EFN and KGB hold it down while Manny's out. EFN kicks things off with a health check-in, breaking down his battle with sleep apnea and the nasal procedure that's got him breathing easier. Then, the Dads dive into a timely convo on AI and the digital future their kids are walking into, what they're excited about, what worries them, and how they're setting limits on screens while trying to bring back real outdoor play. They take it back to the old days, reminiscing on how different growing up felt when kids could just roam and learn the hard way. Now? It's all tech, tighter rules, and talk of chaperones making a comeback. They wrap with a moment every parent knows too well: that sudden gut-check when you realize how fast your kids are growing up. Honest, thoughtful, and a little nostalgic, with a side of “where's optimistic Manny when you need him?”

BA Fam, we’re back at the Brown Table! This week, Mandi is joined by our faves Yanely and Naseema for a good ol' catch-up and trust, it’s been a minute. We're talking about all things mental health, money moves, and why Naseema’s plotting a mini-retirement (yes, you heard that right). Plus, we dive deep into the messy student loan situation (spoiler alert: the bills are coming due) and what you actually need to know before you freak out. We also show love to some brilliant Black authors and entrepreneurs making big waves in the mental health and financial wellness space. Oh, and we might get a little sidetracked talking about breathwork, the movie that everyone is talking about Sinners, and why leaning on your community is the biggest flex right now. Pull up a seat, you’re gonna want in on this one.
