Hello hello! I promised there’d be a lot to share this month—so let’s dive in! Over the past few weeks, I had the chance to sit down with two incredible women who are each making waves in the world of health and wellness. It was a meaningful moment for me to share more about the work I’m doing and to connect with new listeners. We explored airway health topics and, excitingly, I got to introduce something I’ve been working on for a long time: my Smile Support Stairsteps. If you missed either of those podcast episodes, I’d love for you to give them a listen—and let me know what you think!
Now for the big news… This has truly been a labor of love, and I hope that shows. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the wide range of treatment options in airway dentistry, this guide was made for you. It’s my attempt to bring more clarity to the confusing landscape of “tools” and treatments—and to empower parents like you to make more confident decisions. As a thank you for being here, I’m offering an exclusive 20% discount to the first 10 people who grab a copy. Just use the code: 2J4F28C7FG.
Something New I Learned RecentlyI recently connected with Dr. Karen Parker Davidson, author of the new book Breathe Through Your Nose, Don't Pay Through It: The Impact The Healthcare Industry Has On Nasal Function And How We Breathe. I purchased her book and will be reading it next month, so stay tuned for key takeaways! In my first freebie eBook, The Healthy Mouth Manual I spoke about nasal dilators. I had a bit about BreatheRight strips, but I wasn't actually 100% sure whether the newer, more high tech magnetic version from Intake was suitable for kids. Karen reassured me that the S1 size can be used for kids, and even provided her discount code in case anyone wants to try them out. FYI the S1 size is not part of the starter packet. Also, catch me talking about some of her research on Instagram this week... My key takeaway?
Using a Vivos device (also part of the Toothpillow system), half the children in the study who suffered from bedwetting had complete resolution of bedwetting by the 14th day of treatment- that's amazing to me.
Speaking of Instagram, people seemed to like learning about Peanut the Turtle. Read more here if you're curious. Okay, that’s it for this (short and sweet!) newsletter. I wanted to keep it brief since it’s packed with goodies—and you might need a little time to dive into those podcast episodes. Is there anything on your mind lately? Something you’ve been wondering or waiting to ask? I’d love to hear from you—and I just might answer your question in the next newsletter. Be well and talk soon, |

I normally have something bone-related this month to stay on the Halloween theme. I suppose most of my work is bone-related anyway, now that I think about it. Supporting good bone growth and development isn't just a seasonal task! 💀 Spotlight on 3 Directories Making Airway Health More Accessible It’s one thing to know...
Hi there! As of yesterday, a crisp, cool air took over. It officially feels like Fall here! 🍂 This month, I put together a resource for a friend of mine who is a physical therapist. As I was prepping some explanations and fun facts for her to share with her clients, I realized there were a few fascinating takeaways worth sharing with you, too! As a dentist who focuses on airway health, I often remind parents that the way our jaws grow doesn’t just affect our teeth—it shapes how we breathe,...
Happy Back-to-School Season! Just this morning, one of my earliest clients shared an update that filled my heart with joy. When we first connected, her daughter was just 3 years old and struggling with sleep. Fast forward a few years - with dedicated effort through myofunctional therapy, tethered oral tissue release, and dental expansion - they recently repeated a sleep test with their dentist. The results? Excellent sleep quality. Now, as she heads off to her very first day of kindergarten,...
