What started as a straw to keep you from getting coffee stains on your teeth, has been found to help a host of other interesting things! We welcome Alice Stone, creator of the Sipify straw. The Sipify straw's benefits and design were to drink hot coffee with a straw that will bypass the front teeth, aerate the liquid to cool it down, flat design to help prevent spilling. Other professionals have reported that it helps their compromised patients. SLP's reported the design forces smaller sips, which was helpful for stroke recovery and patients with aspiration risk. ENT reported it would be beneficial for oral cancer patients who need to learn to sip. Parkinsons who have tremors and shake can enjoy a cup of coffee again.

Hope and fear in the dental experience. Bringing the EMPATHY back to business. Soft skills are the people skills in dentistry. Communication, empathy, compassion, building trust with patients, making people feel comfortable and their concerns heard. Could connecting to your patients be the hidden key for career burnout? Helping to manage patients dental anxieties, being a gentle person who has compassion and can take their mind off why they are there. Now it feels like you are just a tooth factory and it loses some of the joy and spark. And some of the newer grads don't have those people skills and may benefit from some soft skill training from Hope Loyd. She also has her own podcast about dental hygiene stories Gums and Gossip, she also tells her funny single girl stories.

Loving yourself into your goals and desires, don't beat yourself up into your goals. The person you will become when you love yourself, is going to be more comprehensive and aligned. Today we had the gift of hosting our friend Allison Lacoursiere, Your Clear Aligner Coach, and host of "Clearly Worthy Podcast". We are going to dive into imposter syndrome and feelings of worthiness when it comes to being a woman in business. Her 4 pillars of worthiness are: 1) Know yourself. 2) Accept yourself 3) Honor yourself 4) Love yourself. It's deeper than self care, or a bubble bath.
Allow yourself and give yourself permission to be you. Self acceptance is the most effective and loving way to create new patterns, perceptions, and reality. We hope this episode will give you some love and hope and take some time to be more gentle in your self talk.
To connect with Allison she has many different programs. She coaches dental teams, women in dentistry coaching, dental convention speaker, podcasting, and social media marketing. To find her website https://www.yourclearalignercoach.com/ On Instagram @YourClearAlignerCoach

Key highlights: Cranial Distortions, craniofacial distortion, sphenoid strain, asymmetric face, plagiocephaly flat head syndrome, torticollis, cranial chiropractic adjustments, birth trauma, cranial nerves, Vagus nerve.
Dr Martin Rosen, Chiropractor and Pediatric Craniopath will be teaching us about the 12 cranial nerves and their functions and dysfunction. We will discuss how babies develop and the biological role for free movement in babies. In the first year of life they are creating thousands of connections in the nerves and creating pathways based off input as well as growing their brains and integrating primitive reflexes. Have you ever heard of sphenoid strain and was confused as to why that could affect craniofacial growth? The sphenoid bone attaches to all but 2 of the bones in the mouth and cranium, as well as 9 out of 12 cranial nerves are directly affected by the sphenoid bones function.
Dr Rosen will also explain tongue function and it's effect on facial growth, development, "If you are functioning at a lower capacity and have to work twice as hard to do the same thing that will effect the baby's ability to eat and sleep, then mom doesn't sleep, dad doesn't sleep, and the siblings doesn't sleep". The problem with "wait and see" for brachiocephaly or flattening of the occipital bone, the cerebellum has to grow 240% in the first year of life and it is located where most babies would have a flat spot in the base of the head.
If you are a chiropractor wanting to learn more from Dr Martin Rosen he has the Peak Potential Institute which has in person trainings or online https://peak-potential-institute.mykajabi.com/. Author of "It's All in Your Head" book. https://drmartinrosen.com/books/

Here is what Megan has to say about her 8 week virtual business bootcamp group.
"If I could share a piece of wisdom for you today, stop sleeping on your dreams. They are too important to keep 'thinking about'." The people who have said yes to working with us in Bootcamp or on a One-on-One capacity these last 90 days have seen their lives and businesses change. The ones who have shown up, but haven't really dove in have been doing okay, but still feel stuck. The ones who keep asking about the "secret" or wanting to wait for the right time are still looking for the answers. So my question to you is... When are you going to stop sleeping on your dreams? Or even more importantly... What's stopping you? Money. Time. Resources. Everything is able to figure out. Are you tired of waiting for change and ready to make change happen? The next round of Business Bootcamp Starts September 11th 2023. Grab Your Spot. Don't wait for it to be sold out.

Have you ever heard holistic dentistis talk about teeth and energy meridians, or teeth and chakras? Did this make you scratch your head in confusion? Here to explain it to us, we welcome back Dr Mary Afzali who has lectured on this for holistic dentists. Eastern Chinese Medicine uses energy meridians in the body when doing acupuncture, and even the teeth have connections to those energy meridians. The canines, called "eye teeth" are ironically connected to the eyes. The premolars are the #1 tooth to be extracted for crowding or malocclusion, and the connecting organs are the lungs and the large intestines. We found this fascinating since in a big picture view people with premolar extractions tend to have smaller airways due to tongue space and also gi issues such as constipation or diarrhea.
Dr Mary Afzali is also the recipient of the highest award for Fast Braces practitioner. She is located in Southern California at Lifetime Dental in Lake Forest, San Bernadino, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside. https://doctorafzali.com/contact/ To find her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/doctor.afzali/

Dr David Alfi, oral surgeon and master of orthognathic double jaw surgery. Dr Alfi is really unique because he uses custom surgical plans so he can do a double jaw surgery in the same time it would take for a crown, 1 to 1.5 hours! Typical jaw surgery is closer to 8 hours! The other thing that makes Dr David Alfi unique is that his patients experience less pain and swelling than typical MMA surgery, pain level at 2-3 compared to severe with most jaw surgeries! People can do virtual consults with him and fly down to Houston for surgery. Some people have such small bone structure or impaired airways it is their best chance to immediately open the airway because you reposition both jaw bones forward. Not only does he focus on the airway but he gets insane cosmetic results. They literally look like different people.
Why would someone consider jaw surgery? Underbite, overbite, retrognathia, jaw bone deformities, small airways, patients who wonder if plastic surgery or jaw surgery will give them the best results, severe TMJ pain or possible joint replacement, flat midface (cheeks are not ahead of the forehead when looking at profile), TMJ arthritis, not sure if adult palate expansion or jaw surgery is the best option, nose appears big or has a big bump or "too big for the face", boney facial asymmetry. "Most of the time it's a bad airway and a bad bite. When we address the airway, the TMJ improves."
If you want a second opinion on MMA orthognathic jaw surgery or if you should do adult palate expansion or surgery, contact Dr David Alfi's office. https://www.alfioralsurgery.com/oral-surgery-procedures/orthognathic-jaw-surgery-houston-tx/ He is in Houston, Texas at Alfi Oral Surgery. To follow his amazing cases on Instagram @Dr.DavidAlfi His technique is groundbreaking and is currently taking medical insurance.

Special guest Alexandra Svalastog, Medical Hypnotherapist, Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapist, and Stress consultant. She helps work with the illusive subconscious through hypnosis to rewire the brain to create good emotional health. If you listened to the previous episode "Worms That Poop In Your Mouth" where Nancy talked about her hypnotherapist she saw virtually in Norway, this is that amazing lady!
If you have ever been to a Chinese Medicine practitioner, there is a theory that behind every physical ailment is an accompanying emotional issue. The study of psychoneuroimmunology demonstrates how the mind can play a huge role in stimulating the body's natural resources for healing. When we are fighting sickness we are at our most vulnerable. The uncertainty of illness or condition leave us feeling scared or stressed and you focus on the low vibration energy of fear. Changing how you perceive your condition and circumstances can speed healing. The energy you spend on feeling stressed you can now use to soothe, repair and heal your body.

This episode is truly special. Transitioning into another career, living a life of purpose and doing the thing you always wanted to do, not being defined by a disease diagnosis, and the healing power of faith and the power hidden in the subconscious even in the face of stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis.
Nancy Fisher, dental hygienist who became an acupuncturist is inspiring enough just for that feat. Going from her Associates degree to post graduate studies in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. But this episode also talks about living a life of purpose and doing the thing you have always wanted to do. She talked about writing a book about why we need to floss, told through the bacteria's perspective. It would be a great addition to a dental office for kids to read while they are in the waiting room for their turn. We will link that below. Nancy also has a really cool story she will share about how she handled her ovarian cancer diagnosis. This episode is truly special and reminds us we have a lot of power when we step into faith and our power vs leading with fear.

As the RDH Rant girls say “Don’t be a doormat.” The dedicated moderators of the group are Heather Kirby, Lizz O’Brien Bortolotti, Anna Sven. They have a podcast as well, so check them out if you love sassy RDH rants.

Microdosing, the new hot buzzword. Mushrooms, LSD, ketamine, MDMA. What are they, what is the therapeutic purpose, what does it help with? Did you know they have been researching magic mushrooms for years for treatment of depression, OCD, PTSD. There are even facilitators for the terminally ill to help people feel less afraid of dying. With the new plant laws being passed now to decriminalize plant based psychedelics, it's a fascinating new frontier. Paul Stamets had his stutter go away as an adult after 1 time of psilocybin mushrooms. Here to teach us about psychedelics, guest Harmony Williams. She has her own podcast called "Life Changing Trips". Harmony will tell us her story about looking into ways to help her daughter who was depressed and suicidal because of sexual assault. She was led to a ketamine program which really helped her daughter and opened up her eyes that not all drugs were the same. She will share how she used microdosing to help her with burnout and the midlife crisis she was going through. Microdosing helped her to be a more connected mother. This episode is part science, part human struggle, and ALL about the human spirit.
We will discuss microdosing, macrodosing, mushrooms, LSD, ketamine, MDMA, ayahuasca and more. There will also be stories about how they feel and risks and possibilities. Mushrooms make you feel connected to the earth and to other people, you feel the love of the universe. They also will show you what you need to learn, Kimi will share her "bad trip" story but how it actually was a life changing event that showed her she needed to learn how to cultivate self love. Harmony will tell her story about how the mushrooms helped her to see that she was exactly where she should be in her life, it changed her life and helped her to find her soul's purpose.

Getting the brain benefits of deep sleep. This episode we talk with renowned sleep scientist “Dr Snooze” about: the SleepSpace app, sleep, insomnia, links between lack of deep sleep and dementia, marijuana as a sleep aid, and the “night cap” drink and how that changes sleep. Sleep Scientist Dr. Daniel Gartenberg aka “Dr. Snooze”, is a PHD recipient in Applied Psychology spending the last 15 years on the frontier of sleep’s interplay with health, wellness and memory, Dr. Gartenberg is also the founder of SleepSpace App, a professor at Penn State University, his TED residency talk has nearly 5 million views! His work has been featured from Rueters to the New York Times and now, the Munch Bunch Podcast! The SleepSpace app is an app that can make any bed into a smart bed! It is also the most accurate sleep tracker. It uses specific sound waves forms during the different levels of sleep to help you stay asleep, this would sound like a sound machine but it is more than just noise. There is also an option for light therapy, guided meditation, and breathing exercises. You can use it with just your smart phone, or integrate with your Oura ring, fitbit, apple watch, sleep number bed, Whoop, etc. There is a free 14 day trial. The Sleep Space app is available for Apple and Android app stores.

Did you know that nasal breathing is a 6 step filtration process? We hear about how the nose filters the air but you will need to listen to learn how it all works! This process cleans the air, disinfects and traps pathogens, and helps the body to fight invaders. Everything from the nose hairs, turbinates, sinuses, mucus, nitric oxide gas, adenoids, and tonsils. The moment we breathe with the mouth, we bypass the filtration system and all the muck in the air hits the tonsils or we breathe it into the lungs. We like to tell kids that nose breathing is like drinking clean filtered water, and mouth breathing is like drinking from a puddle because it is full of germs. Dr Roger Price will also bust some myths about asthma and rhinitis aka stuffy nose. If we breathe through the nose gently, things are less inflamed and open, if we breathe hard and fast it's like a tsunami in the nose and the nose will inflame to keep us from overbreathing. We will also discuss the difference between a nasal obstruction like badly deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, large adenoids or tonsils. Sinus or nasal congestion can also be from a biochemical response to how we breathe that causes inflammation of the tissues.
We will also discuss topics such as "Breathing Disordered Sleep" because you only have a sleep breathing issue if you have daytime breathing dysfunction. One of our favorite quotes from this episode is "You only catch 4 things: a virus, a bacteria, a parasite, or a fungus. You're not going to catch anything else. You are going to create what you have as a consequence of your own dysfunctional behavioral patterns which you have created in order to survive."
This episode we also discuss something many men struggle with which is ED (erectile dysfunction) and the role that snoring and sleep apnea play with difficulty maintaining an erection. Nitric oxide created in the nose is so much more important than just the air going in and out of the lungs, it changes our biochemistry and the way we transport oxygen into the cells.

We welcome on Dr Shehab Faragallah, Dentist from Gold Coast Holistic Dental Care in Australia. Dr Shehab and his partner Dr Ibrahim El-Deeb created the Myospots, a product that helps with passive tongue posture and helps act like a tongue attractor to lift the tongue up into the palate. It is a great product we love for myofunctional therapy, because we want the lips together and tongue up in the palate to open the airway. It was created as an alternative for those who cannot use gelatin based products such as stomahesive. They are small round pellets that slowly dissolve in about 46-60 minutes. They are very clean as well: sugar free, natural color and flavoring, vegan, kosher, gluten free, dairy free, soy free.
In this episode we will learn more about a niche within dentistry, holistic dentistry. Keeping things as close the natural as is reasonable. We will discuss how a traditional dentist would remove a mercury amalgum filling vs how a holistic dentist would and the reasoning behind it. We will discuss BPA in fillings, mouth breathing prevalence, and more.

It was good food, good hotel, awesome pediatric dentists, and a heck of a dance party fiesta. So in lieu of a full episode we got clips on our instagram so you can go watch them there.
This conference was unique because it was all about the Waterlase by Biolase. It's a hard tissue and soft tissue laser, so it can do anesthetic free fillings and release tongue and lip ties. We learned so much about the Waterlase, did you know it is 5 times less heat than a CO2 laser? It is also a very clean looking wound, less charring and thermal reaction. On our Instagram there is clips from the lives we did and you can see the speakers talking. The speakers were Dr Ben Curtis from Texas, Dr Trudy Frazer from Georgia, Dr Cherish Leung from California, Dr Amanda Hankins from Arkansas, Dr Lynda Dantzer from Colorado, Dr Leslie Blackburn from Texas.

You may know her from the funny myo reels on @MyMyoMyHealth on Instagram and Tik Tok. Kelley has 2 practices, Phoenix and East Valley Arizona. What we think is super cool about Kelley is that she has SLP who work in her practices. There is drama and territorial behavior around who can provide myofunctional therapy which is: SLP, RDH, PT, OT, DDS. Doesn't include Dental Assistants, Massage Therapists, Influencers, Athletic Trainers, etc. This episode is all about how can we collaborate with each other and fill in gaps to help patients get the best outcomes.
We will also talk about the relationship between sleep disordered breathing and mental health disorders. And get real personal with our personal struggles. Kelley is also going through a DNA appliance with Vivos and she will tell us all the interesting things she has noticed already.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportAncestral dentistry, Dr Nick Koogler Breathe DDS has been doing some "caveman living experiments" on his body. He has been using a Miswak stick from the toothbrush tree, it is a stick humans have been using for thousands of years in the equatorial regions. He decided to stop brushing his teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste and stopped flossing! His hypothesis was that diet is more important to oral health than doing the recommended daily dental hygiene. His experiment will go for 90 days, listen to hear what results he has had. The other experiment he has been doing on himself is an animal based diet, he got several hundred pounds of local grass fed beef and the organs. Every morning he eats 4-6 eggs and a handful of raw liver. Liver is a high source of vitamins A, D, K. He has been using liver like a supplement.

It's a combination of surgery to make cuts in the maxilla and expander with orthodontics to align the teeth. This is a great option for people who struggle to nose breathe, very narrow high palate, tongue has a hard time fitting in the palate. It sounded intense, so we wanted to interview a real patient and see how it felt and what the pain was like! Greg Mc Lean "Project Airway" In his words "It really wasn't that bad". He will also tell us all the OTHER things he tried in his airway journey as well.
15 years of brain fog with no known cause, 4 sleep studies, MRIs, CT scans, every test. It ended up being a sleep and breathing problem. He will tell us about his experience going through EVERY treatment: removing tonsils and adenoids, uvula removed (UPP), deviated septum repair (septoplasty), having the base off the tongue trimmed, DNA Vivos expander, tongue tie surgery (frenuloplasty), myofunctional therapy, Excite OSA, and SARPE.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportWhy are some dental patients SO difficult? They gag, they choke on water, they can't open wide or stay open, everything is sensitive to cold water, you have to tip toe around sensitive roots, you can't clean their teeth like you normally would, taking x-rays makes them gag, hypersensitive palate, the facial muscles fight you, and all around everyone feels worn out afterwords. In frustration we think, why are they SO difficult?! Are they difficult, or do they have a myofunctional disorder?
What IS a myofunctional disorder? It could be a domino effect that is caused by mouth breathing, breathing dysfunction, tongue tie, abnormal swallow, low tongue posture, etc. If someone is not used to breathing through their nose, during dental procedures when we take away their ability to mouth breathe it will feel like they are choking. Anything that will make them feel like their airway is being threatened will cause them to gag, choke on water, or want to spit constantly.

Your belly is squeezing and you are wheezing, you are totally in that moment. Did you know your brain doesn't know the difference between laughing on purpose and natural laughing? Think of Santa Claus "ho ho ho". Here to teach us the science behind laughter yoga and do a demo with us, we have Dr Laura Collatz.
Laura has a cool story, she was a hygienist who went on to dental school and now is doing dentistry and laughter yoga! One day her Vagus nerve went haywire and as she put it "her brain stopped playing nice with the rest of her body" she had to relearn how to use her body and relearn basic things like breathing! In her search to heal her brain she got interested in the vagus nerve. One of the modalities they recommended was laughter yoga. She will be hosting a laughter yoga retreat in Puerto Rico which we will link as soon as she has it.

This is one to watch for sure! Guest Cole Clayton, Osteopath in Byron Bay Australia. He is going to explain cranial osteopathy, treating from the feet up to the head "Toes to Nose", explaining the connection of the foot arches and the arches of the jaws, as well as how cranial strain can effect the tongue and breathing dysfunction. Prepare for knowledge bombs!
We often talk about osteopathy being a great form a bodywork, but osteopathy is complex! Cole is an excellent educator to help break down the physics of the body and how it all connects. He will also share his own personal story of being a kid with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and how he was trying to find health through sports and exercise but could never fully get WELL because of breathing dysfunction. Breathing retraining has changed his life, he went back to university in his mid 30's and now is treating patients in Byron Bay Australia. https://www.coleclayton.com.au/
Cole has created an online course about the different forms of breathwork and what is suitable for each specific person's needs. Some people would benefit more from Buteyko vrs Wim Hof etc. There is 40 videos of on demand content. https://www.coleclayton.com.au/baselinebreathing To follow him on Instagram @ColeClaytonOsteopath

Author of The Mold Medic guest Michael Rubino. Michael's book The Mold Medic provides a step-by-step guide to mold remediation and improving indoor air quality so that everyone has the opportunity to create a safe and healthy home. He became a specialist in working with people who are immunocompromised or have acute and sustained reactions to mold exposure. By working with scientific understanding, he was able to create alternative remediation protocols. These treatments provide solutions that not only get rid of mold sources but also get rid of the contamination created by those mold sources using his proprietary “Home Detox” method. His company is HomeCleanse.
Michael will explain what mold illness is, what are the signs and symptoms, and show us example pictures of people with mold illness. Many of the symptoms of mold overlap with allergies (itchy red eyes, inflamed throat, congested sinuses, brain fog, fatigue). Michael will teach us about what air quality is, what are some ways we can improve the air quality in our homes, and common places we could have mold damage.
Here is an article about the 7 best air purifiers for mold. https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/best-air-purifier-for-mold

We all use them, we all just want to soothe the baby or get the toddler to go to sleep. We dread weaning off the pacifier, or the drama and fits that will ensue when the binkie has to go. We have stashes around the house for emergency use. We are humans! We will have real talk about pacifiers in this episode. We will talk about the long term implications of pacifier use, how they effect growth of the jaws and palate. This episode is to educate, let you make informed decisions, and no judging.
The pacifiers push the tongue down and can create a habit of low tongue posture which will encourage the tongue to be lower and not seal to the palate to help naturally widen it. We will also talk about red flags for jaw development, or dental red flags you can look for in kids.

Here to prove how rapid palate expanders change how much airflow can go through the nose, Orthodontist Dr Bret Christensen of Lewiston Idaho. He has incredible data and cases so this is definitely one to watch, but you will learn so much either way!
Dr Bret has been gathering data for years using the Rhinometer which measures airflow through the nasal passages to determine nasal air volume. Dr Bret has been an orthodontist and was trained in traditional orthodontics and he will explain what the rationale for why orthodontist do what they do, and why he had a change of perception when it came to expansion
We will discuss. Rapid palate expanders, Schwartz appliances, Hyrax, snore guard appliances, adult expansion, and how nasal breathing is the key to sleep medicine. We also will discuss and debunk some common myths such as: 1) if you do traditional ortho you are dooming your child 2) the rapid expanders causes scarring of the sutures.
This is a juicy episode that we hope gives people hope, trust that expanding will help their child, and we can gain back growth of the jaws. Another really positive part of this episode is the proof of improvement in the nasal airways means often times we can naturally shrink enlarged tonsils and adenoids and snoring in children, and we may not have to do surgery.

We all know that sleep disturbances generally lead people to need to take sleep aids or sleeping pills, what are the risks and benefits of those? What about a natural alternative? We also know that NSAIDS and opioids have risks as well, kidney damage, liver damage, ulcers of the stomach, GI upset, and more. We also understand that most of our listeners struggle with brain fog, chronic pain, frequent headaches, and jaw pain. The easiest most common solution is Ibuprofen, an NSAID.

This episode will teach you the most common tapping points, what they are associated with, discuss energy meridians in the body, and learning to find love and home in your body.
Have you ever just felt frustration or even resentment towards your body? Does the term "Self Love" make you feel uncertain HOW to actually start applying it? We will discuss how to learn how to work through emotional blocks, pain, anxiety, using tapping for panic attacks, and more. Kimi will be teaching us since she got certified in EFT this year. She uses it personally for panic attacks, or to help clients in the dental chair who are having anxiety. It's a beautiful and simple technique to feel grounded in your body and to calm the nervous system, like literally tapping your nervous system and reminding it that you are OK.

She will talk to us about how sensory processing works, what a sensory processing disorder might look like in a child, and how can we help kids who struggle with emotional regulation. Claire will teach us about the 8 sensory systems. We already knew about smell, taste, vision, hearing, and touch. We had no clue there were 3 other internal sensory systems.

We will discuss training and is there one training that is better than all others? Do you have to see a specific type of provider (RDH hygienist, SLP, PT, *OT)? Should you do virtual or in person therapy? Does your life and schedule align with what they have available? Can you just do mewing exercises from a Youtuber or Tik Tok influencer? Do you connect with your therapist and feel comfortable? Are they checking you for compensations so you don't make yourself feel more discomfort or have pain when doing your exercises?

Dr Brita specializes in baby physical therapy for Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. Dr Brita will teach us more specifically about WHAT Torticollis is, how it might look, symptoms, and what can be done about it. Torticollis is common in babies and you may have a light bulb moment if you have had or known a baby who exhibited a lot of signs of tension, arching or doing the C shape posture. We often think of torticollis as a preferred posture, or tense neck and having a feeding preference.

She gives us so many insightful nuggets such as the "Top 3 Reasons for Speech Sound Disorders". We talk about the pharyngeal and esophogeal swallow and all the crazy things that need to happen in the throat after the food leaves the mouth to swallow (14 minutes). 26 muscles, 6 cranial nerves for each swallow. Hygienists and SLP can work with oral phase of swallow with chewing and tongue placement, but for swallowing disorders in the throat or esophogus is more SLP scope. This is why it's important to collaborate!
We talk about why R is such a common speech disorder and WHY from a speech perspective. Tongue tie or not, R is the most common speech issue. (34 minutes)
We talk about reasons why kids that are in speech therapy at school are often missed for myofunctional disorders or ties. Because, just like in dentistry, myofunctional therapy is not taught as part of curriculum in school for SLP. As well as funding and district rules in school systems.
We talk about the controversial topic of provider fatigue, gate keeping treatment due to tongue space. We each talk about our personal airway size and how we would not be candidates for releases.

Seini went through a lot to get here. From severe chronic ear pain, hearing loss, nasty headaches and tension, and severe TMJ problems. Seini has agreed to share her personal story about how she ended up getting MMA also known as double jaw surgery with Dr Kevin Coppelson. You may have seen her before and after pictures, she isn't just a poster-child, she is a MMA MODEL. Seini had a LeFort, Osteotomy, and genioplasty, and reconstruction of her joint.
Seini had a tiny little chin since childhood, Dr Coppelson figured out it was arthritis when she was a child that was why developed the retrognathia or retruded jaw. Her small bone structure and damage in the TMJ joint led to a life of chronic ear problems, and debilitating pain daily. She made the decision to research what she could do to improve her life and pain. This led her to myofunctional therapy, being told that her only real long term solution would be jaw surgery and other things would be temporary band aids. Seini went through ortho to get her teeth in position for surgery, surgery, and then months of healing. She had to relearn how to chew and swallow since all the muscles had to be cut and heal back together. It was intense!

He is back to share all his knowledge nuggets about practical and realistic aftercare for infant tongue tie releases also known as frenectomy. We often hear in the Facebook groups that they were told no stretching, 6 times a day, 1 week only, etc. Everyone has differing opinions or will blame you for not doing the stretches and that is why the baby is still struggling. If you feel like you want some clear guidance and tutorials, this is for you and please share!
The basics are: get the baby’s head in your lap, legs away from you, lift the cheeks up 3 times, lip up to the nose 3 times, and hold the lower jaw and lift the tongue to separate the diamond shaped wound. Dr Kotlow describes the frenectomy wound so well, it is a sticky wound, like fly paper, so you must separate it at least 3 times a day to keep it from reattaching. He also has done thousands of these procedures and came up with a soft tool for parents to quickly and easily get in there to do the dreaded tongue stretches. We love Dr Kotlow for his realistic approach and meeting people where they are at.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportJames Nestor is a journalist who is known for his groundbreaking book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art and DEEP: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What The Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves. He has become a huge advocate for nasal breathing and sleep science and health and is educating and bringing this subject to light.
We breathe about 25,000 times a day. Very often we hear that there is not a difference between nasal breathing or mouth breathing as long as you are breathing. In the book he volunteers to be a guinea pig to prove the changes in the body by switching to mouth breathing at Stanford. 10 days nose plugged with silicone and 10 days nasal breathing and the physical and physiological changes that happened. Nestor shared that nasal obstruction triggered instant apnea and snoring and he went from having no snoring issues to snoring through much of night as well as feeling foggy and blood pressure increase.
We will also get into some of the science of nasal breathing and what we call “Over breathing” or breathing too much and too rapidly. Think of when you are stressed or scared, you breathe quickly and shallowly with your chest. This makes your nervous system think you are in a perilous situation and triggers the “Flight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn” aka Sympathetic nervous system. When we breathe slow and with the diaphragm, we active “Rest and Digest” or Parasympathetic nervous system. We will also talk about types of Breathwork and meditation.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportGiving us all the details about the EASIEST to use WatchPat home sleep study, Glennine Varga. In today’s episode we will talk all about the spectrum of sleep disordered breathing. Starting with mouth breathing, snoring, upper airway resistance (UARS), and sleep apnea. She will walk us through how to use a WatchPat and most importantly how to read and understand what it means.
The WatchPat can tell you about respiratory disturbances based off body position and Non REM vrs REM sleep. It can also clue you into the easily overlooked sleep disorders that may not be apnea, but you still feel like garbage. These can be UARS or lack of enough deep sleep due to constant sleep arousals.
Today’s episode is also invaluable because so often people are tired and seek a sleep study only to be told, “You don’t have sleep apnea” and that’s it. No other options given. The wonderful thing about understanding your study is to be able to make changes that can help you sleep better, such as myofunctional therapy, whether to go for expansion to give you more tongue space, or an ENT evaluation to check for airway obstructions.

Some people with jaw joint pain or arthritis opt to get out of immediate pain and use a jaw orthotic that puts the jaw joint into ideal position to decompress the joint space and to help to heal the condyle. This is called phase 1 treatment, some people just live here and are happy. Phase 2 would be full mouth restorations with the joint in a more ideal position or palatal expansion.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportMunch Bunch listeners we have a special surprise, a presentation from a renowned Vivos lecturer Dr Toshi Hart. *Make sure to watch on YouTube or spotify* This is normally taught to dentists to educate about airway but we are here to hook you up and give you a very in depth explanation of why so many of us struggle. People are always super curious about preformed children's appliances and Vivos palatal expansion appliances for adults.
Toshi will teach us about how functional breastfeeding is the beginning of growing the face and jaws by the pressures exerted on the palate with the tongue. Then how the texture and firmness of foods in our early years will determine how much our muscles will be used to exert changes to the jaw bones. But, as we all know, kids these days only like soft easy to eat foods so they aren't gnawing on raw foods or firm foods like in ancient times.
Toshi will also teach us about her research showing a major decrease in cavities and decay in kids when they used a preformed appliance that kept them from mouth breathing. Airway dentistry is going to change our views about modern dentistry being only "lack of flossing" or "too much sugar" and back to function and nasal breathing.
She also will share before and after pictures and cases of kids, and adults going through Vivos appliances to grow the jaws and achieve expansion. This is one you will want to watch on Youtube or Spotify!

Face Yoga is like a more advanced of Myofunctional therapy. It requires the basics of Myo: nasal breathing, tongue up, being able to neurologically tell different muscles what to do. Myo is for health and airway. Face Yoga is for health and beauty and wellness. Like Kimi said in the podcast Face Yoga is great for those lucky people who are not tongue tied or have significant airway problems. Face Yoga is great for RBF (resting B face), facial tension, facial massage for toning and lymphatic drainage, clenching the jaw, toning the Cheeks, decreasing wrinkles, and catching face posture that could be contributing to tension and wrinkles.
This episode will also give some easy sample exercises, how to use a gua sha stone or use hands at home, and go into the basics of Face Yoga.

Here to teach us all about it is Dr Hillary O'Connor aka The Wellness PT. She explains what a pelvic floor is, what pelvic floor dysfunction looks like, and symptoms to look for. This could be things like hip pain, low back pain, pelvic tucking or "pregnancy pose", butt clenching, painful or uncomfortable sex for women, shallow breathing, peeing accidents or bladder leakage, or prolapse.
Did you know shallow breathing with the chest changes not only the physiology of the breath but also the tension in our abdomen and pelvic floor? This is especially important to our friends and listeners of the Munch Bunch since you all generally have breathing dysfunction (mouth breathing, shallow breathing, chest breathing, snoring). Dr Hillary will also give us a little exercise to feel the diaphragm and pelvic floor relax doing a simple breathing exercise.

This episode also available on Youtube and Spotify to see the cases we cover. Tara will be showing us cases and pictures of red flags to look for when it comes to looking at children's smiles and bites. She walks us through some basic common issues that would be a red flag that child will need early orthodontic growth intervention. Dr Tara also will walk us through the different common appliances that can be used to help a child's mouth grow. We will walk through Munchee, Myobrace, Healthy Start, ALF, Schwartz, rapid expander. Dr Tara will also explain the common frustration parents have "Why hasn't anyone mentioned tongue tie or airway to me before? Why didn't my dentist say anything?". Answer: they are not taught in school. She will talk to us about her personal journey getting into airway dentistry and her change of heart and mind when it came to tongue ties.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportGuest Anders Olmanson, CEO and creator of REMastered Sleep and the REMplenish Myofunctional water bottle. We had heard of this water bottle from Dr Zaghi, and were curious if it actually helped. Megan and Kimi both got them to product test and try them out. Result: WE LOVE IT. Plain and simple. You can feel the swallow happening how it was designed to, with the tongue working like a pump. You also can feel the muscles in the throat.
Anders teaches us how it works.
1
Tighten muscles in the throat and soft palate to reduce vibration and collapsibility by increasing daily swallows by 20-50%.
2
Tighten tongue muscles to reduce/prevent the tongue from falling back in the throat while sleeping by exercising the genioglossus.
3
Promote tongue on roof of mouth with light suction and nasal breathing while at rest through repetitions and building muscle memory.
Benefits we noticed using it: it forces you to take smaller drinks so you can have more proper swallows, you can't chug, it helps to promote a more ideal swallow and would be helpful for tongue thrusters or people who struggle to swallow correctly, your throat gets a little tired so you feel it working, you have to focus and use your tongue not your face to swallow. This is awesome for any of you listening since you likely have a Myofunctional disorder and don't swallow correctly.
In the audio version we will explain how it works, what it feels like, cost, types and more. In the YouTube you will be able to see it and demo what it looks like in use. There are 3 types: a Straw kit $44.95, plastic water bottle $54.95, and the metal thermal water bottle $69.95 https://www.remasteredsleep.com/shop for December 2021 use promo code holiday10 for a discount!
--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportWe snagged Dr Dave Shirazi for part 2 where he explains more in depth how ALF works. ALF stands for Advanced Lightwire Functional appliance. This episode is also available to view on our YouTube channel for Dr Shirazi's amazing presentation of his before and after cases and explanation of how ALF expansion works. Link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRpmKTjTBqY
Dr Shirazi does a simple to understand presentation of how to correct malocclusion using ALF as well as how our bite alignment effects the whole skeletal system. The jaw positioning effects the upper neck, which effects the head posture, which effects the spine, which effects the hips and whole body posture. Also be sure to peek at the video on YouTube, the time lapse before and afters are beyond satisfying. We also talk about ALF vs traditional rapid expanders and the pros and cons of rapid expansion.
This episode we are hoping to give hope to those frustrated by the damaging effects they have had by retractive orthodontics or unsure what to do. We also got an insider scoop on costs.
--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportDid you know that around 70% of head and neck pain comes from the TMJ? Common symptoms would be chronic tension, headaches and some types of migraines, jaw pain, chronic teeth sensitivity, receding gums. Some of this can be muscular or function related, which is when Myofunctional Therapy can help. For complex and anatomical issues with the cranial facial bones and bite issues, we defer to dentists like our friend Dr Dave Shirazi in LA.
He is a dentist doing Functional Orthodontics and is one of the few ALF Providers in the world. An estimated 1,000 providers in the world. ALF stands for Advanced Light Wire Functionals. It is a small wire that helps to expand the upper jaw, while also giving the tongue space to rest up in the palate. See our YouTube to see what it looks like.
Dr Shirazi can be found at https://tmjandsleeptherapycentre.com He has 2 offices in the LA area Thousand Oaks and Brentwood in California.

He comes back for part 2 talking about Mold Illness and Lyme disease. If you missed his other podcast with us, check out The Gut Brain and Calming the Vagus nerve episode. Dr Miles teaches us about what Mold Illness or Mold Toxicity is and how it can be dealt with. It can present as chronic fatigue, brain fog, body or joint inflammation, insomnia, sinusitis and recurring sinus infections, and many more. Many things that can overlap symptoms of Sleep disordered breathing. He also educated us on the complex world of identifying Lyme disease and treatment. Lyme can have many similar symptoms to Mold Toxicity but are caused by ticks.

Our very own Megan Van Noy is a new mommy. She suspected her baby would be born tongue tied since she was and her partner was. She had her team ready and in place: an IBCLC picked out and a release provider. Even being in the field and hearing other mom's stories, it was a hard emotional journey. Difficulty latching, painful nursing, inefficient suck, nipple chomping, and reflux. All the classic red flags. Megan got firsthand experience to know in your "Mom gut" there was something off and likely a tie and being told by the nurse, and pediatrician there wasn't.
She followed all the recommended steps: IBCLC, CST before the release (Cranial Sacral Therapy, see our podcast about CST), and a CO2 laser with Health Latch Dr JT in Washington. Breastfeeding was still a struggle and the milk supply was too low and she had to grieve not being able to breastfeed after all that. Megan's story is an encouraging reminder that we can do everything right, and be prepared, and it may still be hard post release. You are doing great mom's, do your best, and if all else fails we will work with your kids for Myofunctional Therapy when they are about 5.
Shout out to baby whisperers we love. @Health.Latch For JT who is a pediatric dentist who only releases ties now, and his Naturalpath and CST Dr Ghormley. Find a provider @circle.healthlatch . @MilkMattersPT for Dr Gigi Tadros a baby PT.

He teaches us about the Gut Brain Connection. How dysbiosis or dysregulation of the gut flora can effect our emotional states as well as body systems. He also teaches us what the difference between Functional Medicine and the traditional American healthcare model, which is essentially what is the root cause of the disease. Treat the root cause not just the symptoms.
In this episode we also talk about the healing power of the Vagus nerve and some practical tips on how to calm and regulate it. This is great for anxiety, depression, gut problems, stress, and many more.

This episode Jessica shares with us how bodywork plays into oral dysfunction. Also she explains what bodywork is, specifically cranial sacral therapy vrs osteopathy. When there is tension, tortilcollis, flat head, sympathetic nervous tone, fussy babies we think: check them for ties. Then if tied, get them started on bodywork before and after a release. The same is ideal for any age. We want to body to be aligned, relaxed calm nervous system, free of fascial tensions, and in the parasympathetic mode "rest and digest". She explains it better than I can, so listen in.
Our very own Megan Van Noy tells her story about going to LA to have Dr Zaghi at The Breathe Institute do her tongue tie release. She tells all about the process and how it felt. She did a home sleep study results, showing she had positional UARS or upper airway resistance syndrome when she is on her back. The Breathe Institute did a 3D jaw and airway image showing her bone structure is still deficient even with expansion as a kid and a small airway size. After the full work up she was cleared to do the release (note she has done myo for years, bare minimum is 6-8 weeks per our training). She has always had issues with: mouth breathing at night, GERD and acid reflux, digestive issues, clenching, headaches, had an expander as a kid, shin splints and tight back, neck tension, bedwetting as a child, colicky as a baby, allergies. She has noticed since her release: reduction in head and neck tension, chiro adjustments are easier, less myofascial tension with her massages, less acid reflux, sleeping well. We will make a recording and pre and post pictures for youtube so you can all see!

Today Megan Van Noy and Kimi Nishimoto talk about our favorite lip tape also known as mouth tape. The premise is simple: humans are only meant to breathe with the nose and when the jaw falls back and relaxes in our sleep, or the mouth opens and we breathe with the mouth, the airway collapses. For nasal issues check our our podcast about decongesting the nose from a previous podcast, you must be a good nose breather to start lip taping. Taping the lips together in sleep has helped us both with: snoring, drooling, sleep apnea, clenching, grinding, sore TMJ muscles, headaches, restless sleep and moving. The top favorites were: SleepYstrip by Dr Dan Hanson (available on amazon prime https://www.amazon.com.au/SleepYstrip-Functional-Improve-Breathing-Increase/dp/B07VZVH9G7 , or for international www.sleepystrip.com); Buteyko clinic Snoreless strips by Patrick McKeown (https://www.amazon.com/Snorless-Strips-Buteyko-Breathing-Method/dp/B01IM5RV7O ) 3m micropore medical tape (https://www.amazon.com ) For kids and intro to taping Patrick McKeown MYOtape (https://buteykoclinic.com/myotape/ )
We were not big fans of: nexcare sensitive (not sticky enough), bandaids, medipore, somnifix. You find what works for you and whats in your budget but a good budget friendly tape is 3m micropore or Snoreless, the Cadillac of lip tape is SleepYstrip.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/munchbunch/supportDr Staci Whitman from NoPo kids (North Portland, Oregon) comes on our show to tell us what amazing ways she is doing early intervention to change the lives of these kids by education on nutrition, helping catch sleep disordered breathing from the beginning, and identifying MOUTH BREATHING early to reduce cavities but also get the most optimal growth. She also does laser CO2 frenectomy or tongue and lip tie releases infants-12 year olds. She is also a user of functional appliances to redirect poor growth or habits. As we know if the tongue is not up all the time, mouth breathing, abnormal swallow, or tongue tied, these kids will have altered growth and poor sleep quality. She is a supporter or myofunctional therapy because we are the ones to retrain those dysfunctions but when the arches are not growing ideally or to help speed the kids back up she uses appliances. Myomunchee habit appliance for the little ones, Healthy start orthotropic appliances. These use your own muscles that guide the growth of the muscles which grows the bones.

The Munch Bunch have a special Colorado guest star, tongue tie extraordinaire Dr Jesse Witkoff from Colorado Tongue Tie. Dr Jesse was a pediatric dentist for decades before he discovered the obsession with tongue and lip ties. He now only sees people for releases, anywhere from infants a few days old to elderly adults. He is a great mentor and is the number one person we recommend for ties in Colorado. His passion is helping identify and treat ties, especially babies with feeding difficulties and failure to thrive. He does everything with no general anesthesia, just local anesthesia or numbing gel, a co2 laser, and stitches if needed. He talks today about functional frenectomy, bougie way of saying a full release. Today we walk through why Myofunctional Therapy is needed before the release and after. He describes the difference it makes in helping him identify the tight restrictions when he is doing the surgery and decreased bleeding. We talk about what you could expect after the procedure, the pros and cons of the different methods and tools, and complications from using diode or cautery.
