The COPD Reset - A Practical Guide to Understanding Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Recognizing Symptoms, Improving Breathing, Managing Exacerbations, Using Treatments Safely, and Protecting Your Long-Term Lung Health. #1014769

What if the breathlessness you've been learning to live with doesn't have to control your life?
For many people, COPD begins quietly.
A cough that won't disappear.
A flight of stairs that suddenly feels exhausting.
A walk that takes more effort than it used to.
A growing fear of becoming breathless in public.
And eventually, a question appears:
“Is this just something I have to live with?”
THE COPD RESET was written to help answer that question.
Doctor Bryan takes the complex world of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and turns it into a clear, practical roadmap—from understanding what is happening inside your lungs to knowing what you can do about it.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
Recognize COPD symptoms and understand what they may mean.
Understand the difference between chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Learn how smoking, air pollution, workplace exposures, genetics, and other factors can affect lung health.
Understand spirometry, FEV1, oxygen measurements, CT scans, and other common tests.
Make sense of inhalers, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and combination treatments.
Improve inhaler technique so prescribed medication can work as intended.
Understand when oxygen therapy may be appropriate.
Discover how pulmonary rehabilitation can improve exercise capacity and daily function.
Use exercise, nutrition, pacing, and breathing techniques to support everyday life.
Recognize COPD exacerbations before they become overwhelming.
Understand the role of steroids, antibiotics, and emergency treatment during flare-ups.
Reduce the impact of respiratory infections.
Understand the relationship between COPD, heart disease, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and fatigue.
Make your home environment more lung-friendly.
Travel, work, exercise, and maintain relationships while living with COPD.
Build a practical COPD action plan.
Create your own 30-day reset and 90-day roadmap.
But this isn't simply a book about lungs.
It's about reclaiming the parts of life that breathlessness can slowly take away.
Because managing COPD isn't only about test results. It's about being able to walk farther, sleep better, move with greater confidence, spend time with the people you love, and make informed decisions about your health.
Whether you have recently been diagnosed, have lived with COPD for years, care for someone who has it, or are trying to understand persistent breathing problems, this book gives you a practical place to begin.
Your diagnosis may be part of your story. It doesn't have to be the entire story.
Start understanding your lungs. Start understanding your options. Start your reset.
