In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Eric Cobb for a fascinating exploration of how the tongue intersects with the nervous system, lymphatic health, breathing mechanics and more. We dig into the tongue's role not only as a critical player in vocalization but also as an influencer on bodywide functions. Dr. Cobb shares insights into how tongue positioning can impact the nervous system, optimize breathing patterns, and even support lymphatic health—all essential for vocalists, speakers, and anyone invested in voice care. If you’re looking to expand your knowledge on the intricate connections that influence vocal quality and physical resilience, this episode is for you!
