World Hypertension Day: How We Manage Asthma, BP & Mental Health Togethe


Issue #4

This World Hypertension Day, we’re reflecting on a challenge many in our community quietly live with:

Managing both asthma and high blood pressure, while navigating work, stress, urban life and the emotional weight that comes with it.

These aren’t just medical conditions, they are lifestyle challenges that impact how we work, breathe, and show up every day.

This past week, we’ve published a series of blogs that explore this intersection from different angles, and we’ve released a special podcast episode to bring it all together.

Do this 3–4 times. It’s a simple technique that supports both your breath and blood pressure.
