In today's episode, Brittny speaks to a queen of airway- the passionate Dr. Lauren Ballinger.
Dr. Lauren has been deeply inspired and motivated as both a mother, and a pediatric dentist, by her two (now teenage) children Jack and Libby who struggled with sleep and airway issues from day one. They are her “why”. Her mission is to raise awareness in both the public and professional communities to recognize and treat the earliest signs of less than optimal craniofacial and respiratory development and the associated functional, breathing and sleep symptoms. She is inspired to elevate the wellness potential of children now, and for a better future. Dr. Lauren is also a part of the Endeavor Group.
