174: Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, Part 2 with Paula Anderson

Paula Anderson has been my son’s myofascial therapist for the past year. She joins me today for the second part of a two-part series where she speaks about the importance of quality sleep, the benefits of nasal breathing, and the role of oral posture in maintaining an open airway, preventing illness and pain, and improving sleep quality. Today, in Part 2, she explains why snoring is neither healthy nor normal and discusses what sleep-disordered breathing may lead to.Issues caused by upper airway resistance (a form of sleep-disordered breathing): Clenching or grinding teeth Tossing and turning Waking frequently Waking up feeling exhausted  Brain fog after waking up Paula Anderson's Bio:Paula Anderson is a Qualified Orofacial Myologist and a Registered Dental Hygienist. She has worked in the dental profession for over 20 years.
