Is It Really ADHD… or Something Else? A Conversation About Oral Dysfunction with Karese Laguerre


Listen Later

What if your child’s ADHD symptoms, restless sleep, or constant stuffy nose aren’t actually what they seem?

In this episode, I’m talking with Karese Laguerre—a certified myofunctional therapist, mom of four, and someone who’s been in the trenches herself. Karese shares how her own kids' struggles with things like bedwetting, sensory challenges, and even an ADHD diagnosis were all tied back to something unexpected: oral dysfunction.

We get into:

  • What orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) are—and why they matter

  • How mouth breathing, tongue posture, and oral habits impact sleep, focus, and digestion

  • Why so many kids are misdiagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or behavioral issues

  • What you can start doing at home to support better function and healing

This is a practical, eye-opening conversation for any parent who's wondering if there's more to the story behind their child’s challenges—and looking for answers that go beyond another label or prescription.
