How it started

Hi, my name’s Lachie McLeod. I suffered from asthma from a young age taking daily preventative medication and regularly requiring relieving inhalers as well. I assumed that this was just how it would be for the remainder of my life. However in 2020 I discovered that there were people claiming to be able to clear me of all my symptoms simply be retraining my breathing, using a process developed by a Dr Buteyko in the 1950s. Despite being highly suspicious I decided to give it a go, we were in the middle of covid lockdowns so what better things did I have to do?

Amazingly within just a week I was able to start to take control of my symptoms without any medication, and after about 3 months, with approval from my doctor, I was able to come off all my medication and have been off them ever since.

After my initial thrill at being free from my symptoms I then became somewhat indignant and outraged that this simple process has existed my whole life and yet is known by so few. So I decided to start Fix Your Breathing with the goal of spreading the word of these simple but life changing practices and connecting asthma sufferers with experienced coaches who can guide them to healthy breathing.
