Most people see asthma as a limitation… but what if it could be your greatest strength? In this episode of The Athlete with Asthma Show, I share how I turned my lifelong asthma diagnosis into my ultimate advantage, helping me win 100K ultra marathons, run for hours without my inhaler (unless I’m sick), and live at my peak.
You’ll discover the three biggest gifts asthma has given me:

The ability to truly listen to my body
Commitment to taking better care of myself than most people ever will
Unshakable resilience to bounce back stronger after setbacks.

Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just someone who wants to feel in control of their health, this episode will inspire you to transform asthma from a challenge into your superpower.
