Episode notes
Faces Are Shrinking Now
- Dr. Steven Park argues facial bones are shrinking rapidly now, not over centuries, affecting airways and health today.
- He links visible changes in skulls and celebrity facial trends to broader population anatomy shifts.
Chewing Shapes Facial Growth
- Dr. Park and Kathy cite Dr. Weston Price showing natural diets produce wider jaws and healthy teeth across cultures.
- Adoption of Western soft diets correlated with narrower jaws, crooked teeth, and more disease.
Small Jaws Shrink Airway Too
- Narrower jaws reduce dental space and shrink the nasal cavity, worsening airway size and breathing.
- Tooth extractions and lost teeth further reduce jaw support and collapse airway volume.
