About this listen
If running makes you wheeze, should you stop exercising… or do you actually need it more?
In this episode of My Allergist Dad, Drew and Dr. Z break down the real relationship between exercise and asthma — including why exercise doesn’t cause asthma, how it can act as a trigger, and what’s really going on inside your airways when you start wheezing. They talk through exercise-induced asthma, allergic inflammation, cold and dry air, pollution, and why swimming often feels easier than running.
You’ll also learn why treating your allergic triggers can raise your exercise tolerance, how pre-treating with inhalers actually works, and why frequent workouts can mean fewer asthma symptoms over time — not more.. Plus: breathing techniques, humid air hacks, and why the answer is almost always don’t skip the gym.
