Episode notes
Episode 21 of The Health Exchange Podcast takes on pediatric asthma with two leading voices in children’s lung health: Dr. Sande Okelo and Dr. Lori Livingston. Dr. Rutland and his guests dig into the science behind asthma in kids—how it develops, why it’s often misdiagnosed or under-treated, and what both doctors and parents can do to better manage it. They discuss the role of pollution, health disparities, and parent education, while also walking through real-world tools like spacers, biologics, and asthma control questionnaires. This episode is packed with practical advice for any parent or clinician trying to help children breathe easier and stay healthy.
