In this video, JawHacks Baby gets a lip tie release from Dr. Kuljic in order to swallow less air while breastfeeding. Ron & his wife also give a very detailed update 3 months later on how their baby's breastfeeding & overall health has been impacted by the lip tie release.

Ron also interviews two myofunctional therapists, asking them how they train their patients to have good myofunctional habits, their thoughts on the impact of tongue ties, breastfeeding, chewing, and what even is myofunctional therapy, and is it the same as mewing?

Dr. Paul Coceancig returns for a second JawCast, with the topic of discussion being how to choose a jaw surgeon & the key qualities you need to look for, as well as a contrarian viewpoint (for JawHacks) on genetics vs environment and their respective impact on facial development. The first half of the video is primarily a surgical discussion, with the second half centering on the role of genetics vs environment in facial development.

Dr. Tieu is an experienced ENT doctor who is also knowledgeable on the importance of skeletal expansion, jaw surgery & myofunctional therapy for breathing & health. She often recommends patients with a narrow palate & nasal aperture to seek out expansion before or in place of turbinectomy & other nasal surgeries (AKA she agrees with making the room bigger before removing furniture). She also has a lot to share on the surgeries & treatments she performs or recommends when there are structural & tissue abnormalities in the nose. In addition, she discusses how to go about cutting infant & adult tongue ties, and the importance of breastfeeding for a child's development, and how an uncut tongue tie can severely compromise a newborn's ability to breastfeed.

Dr. Kuljic is an airway focused dentist who invited Ron to talk after they met at Dr. Lipkin's PIEZO Course in September. He has lots to share on the importance of environment for jaw growth, specifically diet, snipping tongue ties early, importance of nutrient quality in foods & breastfeeding. He also talks about how fixing structure is important, but without improving the myofunctional habits afterwards, it's only a half success. Sleep hygiene, patient experiences with expansion & more are also discussed.

Jesse comes onto JawHacks to share a cautionary tale of his experience with nasal surgeries. He reveals the true cause of his deviated septum and how, frustratingly, he was not made aware y any of the many doctors he saw, but by an online resource, and that it was only after HE brought it up to his doctor that it was considered as a plausible cause. He also comes to talk about social dynamics, game, pickup artists, not growing up in a nuclear family and lack of self & unhealthy validation seeking as a result, depression, effects of cheap food and smoking cannibis, his music career, and more.
