Breathe Better Sleep Better Live Better Podcast Our Shrinking Faces: More Important Than Global Warming [Podcast 78]
In this episode, Kathy and I will talk about a disaster more urgent than global warming. It’s not going to happen in the next few decades or hundreds of years. It’s happening now: Due to modern Western diets and other various lifestyles and habits, our facial bones (and airways) are shrinking.
In this captivating discussion, I will reveal:
- What’s causing our faces to shrink
- Why it’s worse for our children
- The consequences of smaller faces and airways
- How crooked teeth may be the first sign of shrinking faces
- What we can do to prevent it
- And what we can do to reverse the consequences.
