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.

Jay Greeson, Chris Lee and Chase Robinson preview Michigan's road trip to Oklahoma, a game shown on Saturday night on ABC at 6:30 Central. FanDuel favors Oklahoma by 6 1/2 points as of Monday morning, with an over-under of 46 1/2. Topics in the preview include: Oklahoma's John Matteer was everything the Sooners hoped in a 35-3 win over Illinois State, going 30-for-37 with 392 passing yards, one interception and one touchdown. Matteer's favorite target was Southern Illinois transfer Keontez Lewis, who caught nine balls for 119 yards and two scores. Running back Jadyn Ott, hampered with injuries in fall camp, carried the ball just once for three yards, but should have a bigger role this week. The Wolverines won a closer-than-it-should-have-been game with New Mexico by a 34-17 score in the opener. However, the score was a bit deceiving as Michigan out-gained the Lobos 7.2 yards per play to 3.6. Michigan's defense is loaded with pro prospects, including edge Derek Moore and DL Rayshawn Benny, who are potential top-2-round picks in the coming draft. Michigan cornerback Jyaire Hill a top-four-round prospect too, and safeties TJ Metcalfe and Rod Moore are also draft-able prospects Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham, a preseason first team all-Big 10 pick, did play but recorded no stats as he was ejected for targeting. His appeal was denied, meaning, he'll miss the first half of this game. Michigan linebacker Ernest Hausmann led the team with 8 tackles vs. New Mexico. He was Phil Steele's pick on his preseason 2nd-team all-Big 10 team. Wolverines' coach Sherrone Moore will coach this one, and will serve his two-game, NCAA-mandated suspension later in September. Michigan's offense is led by talented freshman Bryce Underwood, who'll have his first road test as a collegiate. Alabama transfer Justice Haynes was Michigan's offensive MVP last week, rushing 15 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns. The Sooners are stout in the trenches with R Mason Thomas, Gracen Halton, David Stone and others leading a very talented front seven.
