Gina Hoots joins Cathy to explore where respiratory therapy meets health coaching, especially for people living with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and more. With over 30 years' experience in both clinical and community settings, Gina shares how she combines science and compassion in her work. We dive into practical breathing techniques, the importance of proper inhaler use, integrating nutrition and lifestyle, and coaching strategies that empower clients beyond traditional medicine. The episode also highlights Gina's work with BluZone.Health, her leadership in respiratory care, and how health coaches and respiratory therapists can collaborate to improve outcomes. Expect both deeply technical takeaways and inspiring mindset shifts. In this episode, you'll discover: How Gina's dual roles as a respiratory therapist and health coach allow her to bridge gaps in patient education, care, and quality of life. Specific breathing practices (nose inhalation, lip‑pursed exhalation, huff coughs, etc.) that help reduce breathlessness, move mucus, and calm anxiety. How to assess if someone is on the “right” inhaler(s) vs. just using rescue inhalers, and what coaches should know about various inhaler classes. Ways health coaches can help clients being proactive in doctor visits—preparing questions, reviewing action plans, and improving collaboration. The role of nutrition, exercise, and reducing environmental/inflammatory exposures in lung health, not just “medication + oxygen.” The gaps in care Gina sees—where patients often don't get enough time, education, or follow‑up—and how health coaches and RTs can fill those gaps. Practical mindset shifts: turning directives into partnership, helping clients find personal “why,” and using breathing as a tool for anxiety and agency. Memorable Quotes: “If you have breathing problems, you're going to get an inhaler. Nobody tests for the breathing like they should.” “Many people think just with breathing problems, oxygen is the answer … But exercise can help that. Breath work … all of that really helps.” “The numbers don't really matter, but just the mindful breathing that you can control your breath.” Bio: Gina Hoots is a nationally recognized respiratory therapist and health coach with over 30 years of clinical and community experience, specializing in chronic lung conditions. As a Health Coach for BluZone.Health, Gina helps individuals live well with COPD, asthma, and other chronic respiratory illnesses through education, behavior change, and lifestyle optimization. She is the co‑creator and co‑host of The Cozy Lung Lounge Podcast, a compassionate, patient‑centered show offering real‑talk and resources for people with chronic lung disease and their caregivers. Whether it's unpacking new science or exploring the emotional side of illness, Gina's podcast makes space for the full experience of breathing and healing. Gina currently serves as the President of the Illinois Society for Respiratory Care, where she champions professional excellence and advocacy for the respiratory therapy field. She is also a COPD Foundation Captain, leading awareness efforts and community‑based support across Central and Southern Illinois. Rooted in both science and spirit, Gina is a proud member of the American Association for Respiratory Care and the Holistic Nurses Association, weaving a whole‑person approach into everything she does.

Qigong and Tai Chi instructor Sandra Tjoa was not interested in marketing her services outside her locality. She distanced herself from the idea of using the Internet and technology. But after joining The Conscious Marketer's Accelerator Program, she was awakened to the endless possibilities of serving her audience online. Tune in to this new episode of The Conscious Marketer podcast —  Accelerate Your Marketing with Sandra Tjoa. Key points covered in this episode: [00:19:15] Allow your audience to express their needs. Going the online route was a challenge for Sandra, but she discovered how she could create strong connections and encourage participation even through a screen. [00:23:24] Reach out to your target audience. Sandra began with fliers and had no interest in marketing. The Accelerator workshops guided her to the right path. [00:28:18] Know the true value of your offer. What do you really tap into? What transformation can you help cultivate with your clients? [00:31:37] Every change makes a difference. Take baby steps and seek guidance. Online marketing can be overwhelming, but trying it out will get you to your success. [00:32:56] Share your origin story. Your audience will feel closer to you and will be compelled to share their experiences as well, giving them a chance to be heard. In the modern day, marketers can be vulnerable. [00:38:42] Practice grounding. You can do this for 30-40 seconds daily in the morning and at night while sitting. This helps alleviate stress and tension. ———————————————————————————————— Sandra Tjoa graduated from the University of Guelph with a degree in Human Biology, Human Kinetics, and from the Michener Institute's Respiratory Therapy program.
