Living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can feel like a constant struggle – a life that may be disrupted by debilitating flare-ups and fear of hospitalization. 

Impacting more than 14 million adults, COPD is a progressive disease that damages the lungs and airways making it difficult to breathe. And sadly, it’s a leading cause of death in the U.S.

Here’s the frustrating truth: even with daily maintenance inhalers, nearly half of patients still have dangerous symptom flare-ups, also known as exacerbations. These flare-ups aren’t just inconvenient, they can lead to more frequent and severe flare-ups, and a high risk of hospital admission. Just one flare-up increases the likelihood of recurrent flare-ups and related hospital admissions. Why are these flare-ups so persistent?

Evolving science has shown a critical piece of the puzzle: eosinophilic inflammation. This type of inflammation (swelling) in the lungs can be a driver of COPD symptoms, especially for those who experience frequent flare-ups.

What to know: Including a blood eosinophil test in routine screenings, combined with a doctor’s evaluation and diagnostic tools, can help identify if eosinophilic inflammation is making COPD worse. By understanding an underlying cause of flare-ups, a doctor can develop a targeted treatment plan to manage COPD and potentially reduce the frequency of exacerbations.

Alexis Smith, DO, Pulmonary Disease will discuss the challenges facing those living with COPD to help manage COPD and try to break the cycle of flare-ups.

Amazon #1 Bestseller!

Alex Bratty was a superstar in the public-opinion polling field. One of the youngest partners ever in a prestigious Washington research firm, her job was to listen to people and find out what they think and how they feel. She tuned into their emotional responses to get deeply in touch with
their “whys” in life.

The irony is that during the 15 years she was rising to the very top of her field, she wasn’t listening to her own inner voice to discover her true emotions, to pay attention to her deepest desires and to understand why she was so miserably stuck in her own life!

Through tremendous trial and error, she finally found her way. And now she’s giving other people the shortcut–through her remarkable book From Chaos to Clarity: Getting Unstuck & Creating a Life You Love–the essential quick-start guide to getting your life back on track.

Who amongst us hasn’t felt stuck at one time or another? Maybe you’re stuck right now! We all know that feeling of not knowing what to do next, or how to break out of the same old patterns of behavior, or listening to all that negative chatter that tells us we’re not enough. As Alex puts it, when this happens, we keep ourselves running in place, playing small and safe.

Help is on the way! Like having a personal coach encouraging you, urging you gently and specifically, From Chaos to Clarity, an Amazon.com #1 bestseller, gives you the tools to take back control of your life, to stop struggling and to focus on how to create a life you truly want, rather than one you think you should want.

Alex knows that empty feeling. She wasn’t fulfilling her life’s purpose and she felt trapped in a life that was like a hamster wheel she couldn’t get off. In her quest to find the missing piece, she embarked on a personal development journey that helped her uncover the true essence of what she wanted: to help people and to be of service in a way that would contribute positively to the world. In the book, Alex shares her own struggle with being stuck and how she moved from a life that felt unfulfilled, constricted, and frustrated to one that is expansive and filled with love, abundance, and joy.

From Chaos to Clarity provides a step-by-step guide for clearing the gunk from
your path and getting you moving with alacrity to the REAL life awaiting. Alex offers examples, charts to fill out and questions to ponder that lead you to the answers you may not have been able to discover on your own. Along the way, you will learn:
• To understand what’s really keeping you stuck (not always what it appears)
• To reprogram your mind to dash those limiting and long-held beliefs about yourself and others
• To connect with your true self and recognize you already have the answers to your burning questions
• To release the past once and for all
• To embrace the present and the future whilst being open to all possibilities
• To clear your mind so you can find space and time to create
• To identify what you really want, your calling, and your higher purpose
Alex’s From Chaos to Clarity puts you back in the driver’s seat of your life and reminds you that you can have a life you love! Each chapter provides the tools to get unstuck and to be a deliberate creator of your own life!

To book Alex Bratty for an empowering and dynamic interview that can get your listeners unstuck in their own lives, please send an email with the name of the show, your contact information, a proposed date and time, and the calling details.

“From Chaos to Clarity is a step-by-step, soup-to-nuts guide to reclaiming freedom, joy, love and abundance in any area of your life where you are not creating the results you desire. Learn the art of getting unstuck, and you will forever have a reliable formula for transforming any challenge and manifesting any outcome you want to create.”– Christy Whitman, NY Times Best-Selling Author

“A powerful book that charts a clear course from the darkness of being stuck to the bright light of clarity and opportunity. Read this book and transform your life!”- Tom Bird, Renowned Book Whisperer & Best-Selling Author
“A profound renewal of self! With passion and enthusiasm, Alex gives us a step-by-step guide to reprogramming our belief system. It’s Your Turn to leave burnout, depression, and exhaustion behind. You only have to read this book once to reach the richness and goodness that is within you. UNSTUCK is a personal transformation experience.” – Tom Puetz, author of Secret Choices

“An inspiring call to self-action and betterment, packaged in an easily digestible and approachable form. This book will help to prepare, challenge and guide the reader to receiving the amazing life that awaits those willing to receive it, by re-calibrating from an outward to an inward focus in the personal search for answers and direction.”-James “Mick” Andzulis, MBA, MSF, PhD, Assistant Professor, Louisiana State University

2. The Awake Money Blueprint, Inc. is a company that helps people to activate human potentials and open up possibilities to attract money. The Money Blueprint Transformation Program is a tool that helps clients to create a shift within short period of time to the higher level of success. The goal of the Program is to realign client’s lives to the best scenario.

3. Benefits of the Money Blueprint Transformation Program:
MBTP helps reprogram (transform) Money Blueprint; this ‘blueprint’ is the deep, cellular programming people acquired as a children that determines patterns of acquiring money, beliefs about deserving wealth, and affects ability to achieve abundance. By addressing the money blueprint, people have an opportunity to achieve the highest potential level of wealth and abundance.
The original Money Blueprint ‘determines’ the amount of wealth we are ‘allowed’ to accumulate during your lifetime. It usually does not exceed the level of wealth your family historically achieved. The MBTP provides the unique opportunity to ‘reset ‘the ‘numbers’ and ‘install’ a new level of wealth — the money blueprint we envision – and helps to take control of life and business.
The MBTP helps to eliminate subconscious core beliefs that are blocking relationships with people and connection to the Inner Child. The ‘true self’ is revealed the instant those core beliefs are released, and the ability to trust and love people tremendously increases presence, credibility, and trustworthiness for clients and family.
The MBTP helps to eliminate the memory of past traumas, physical or emotional, that exert a negative influence on life. At the end of the Age Clearing process clients become free from auto-emotional responses and open up the energy flow that will bring success and abundance.
MBTP helps to create a “winner’s mind”, the mindset that is programmed by clients and serves their Highest Good. It gives the insight on how the Law of Attraction reflects the work of the mind, enabling clients to attract even more money and success. The mind becomes more focused, clear, creative, and peaceful – which is necessary for achieving biggest dreams and setting higher goals.
MBTP helps to build a stronger body: clients become Quantum, and accept a new way of living: Being Quantum. Being Quantum provides a great advantage, helping to make the body strong and grounded, raising endurance and stamina, while providing the ability to create and bring a positive atmosphere to clients, and ultimately positively affect the relationships and communications with partners and investors. Clients quickly establish trustworthy relationships, and are more protected from negative energies, whether from other people or even electronic devices.
The MBTP enhances tolerance, enabling you to quickly manage and eliminate stressful situations. When the body has fight-and-flight reactions, it prevents us from receiving. Being stress-free is essential to attract luck and success.

Services.

The Money Blueprint Transformation Program is a sequence of Quantum Healing sessions that are held once per week. Between sessions, Alexandra continues to monitor stress level to insure client’s ability to manifest desirable goals. The MBTP is combinations of different healing modalities (Reiki, other energy healing modalities, Clearing Entities and Protection Programs) that are serving to help client to be stress free and become own healer and an independent strong, open individual able to move forward to a highest level of success.
Other, complimentary services include:
Quantum healing sessions that assist client in elimination of stress, pain, addictions, emotional traumas, relationship problems.
