This episode hits close to home for me. In honor of Mouth Breathing Awareness Month, I’m opening up about my own journey—from being a chronically sick kid to navigating chronic illness as an adult—and how something as simple (and overlooked) as the way I breathed may have shaped everything. I share the patterns I experienced growing up—nosebleeds, poor sleep, crowded teeth—and the surprising connections I’ve come to understand years later.   We dive into the bigger picture of mouth breathing: how it impacts development, sleep, the nervous system, and even long-term health. I also explore why so many of us were treated for symptoms instead of root causes, and what we can start doing differently today—especially for our kids. If you’ve ever struggled with fatigue, jaw pain, poor sleep, or unexplained health issues, this episode will get you thinking in a whole new way.   If this episode resonated with you or gave you a new perspective, I’d love for you to share it with someone who needs to hear it.
