    Intention:
    as humans, we need to address the underlying problem of the shrinking jaw compared to the wide jaw of our ancestors, which has lead to many health issues including mouth breathing, sleep apnea, malocclusion, cavities, allergies, asthma, jaw dysfunction, overbites and underdeveloped facial growth. My goal is to raise awareness and educate people on nasal breathing, jaw growth and orthotropics. Wouldn't it be cool if we could prevent these issues in future generations? I think there is tremendous opportunity to improve facial growth potential of humans, which also ties into the current demand of plastic surgery and filler injectables to achieve a more proportioned face. Even if one parent sees this and can check their kids tongue to make sure it isn't tied and has enough space in the mouth or start seeing a myofunctional therapist, I would be satisfied. Epigenetics plays a role in how well the face grows!

  • How TMJ/ TMD impacts your health and aesthetics of your face

    If you are a parent of young children, I highly recommend you check their tongue placement, oral posture and even bring them to a myofunctional therapist to make sure they are swallowing and nose breathing properly. Because of western medicine's neglect on my jaw and tongue at a young age, I am now dealing with the aftermath and symptoms of TMD. If it wasn't for my research, one of the root causes of the problem would still not be addressed. 

    In this episode, I talk about the not so obvious link between TMJ (temperomandibular joint) disfunction and the mechanisms of nose breathing, tongue placement and the physiological growth and development of the face. 

    I personally deal with TMD myself and I know it can be debilitating and shift your face. I have already had to have a few surgical procedures to address the problems it has caused. This is why I highly encourage you to always do you research and take control of your health. Do not rely on doctors to look at all angles- you really need to be your own detective and advocate when it comes to looking at things holistically.

  • Does Caloric Restriction work for weight loss?

    Some experts advise caloric restriction for weight loss/management and many popular fitness apps will recommend staying under a specific number of calories per day in order to achieve designated weight goals. However, caloric restriction will not address many issues including: quality of food, nutrient density, macronutrient ratios, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal homeostasis, glucose intolerance, metabolic health and sustainability of counting calories.

  • Stop Eating these "Heart Healthy" Oils

    The American Heart Association and the US Dietary Guidelines often vilify saturated fats and instead recommend these "heart healthy" oils : soybean, corn, safflower, sunflower etc. 
    In this episode, I explain reasons not to eat these oils.

  • Why You Shouldn't Eat the Impossible Burger

    In this episode, I dive into why the Impossible Burger is not healthy, although it is advertised to be healthier than beef. 

    CEO of Impossible Foods, Patrick Brown has said that with his Impossible Burger, his main customer isn't vegans/vegetarians, but those that would otherwise be eating meat. He actually wants to eradicate the beef industry by 2035. This is alarming, as grass-fed beef is one of the most nutrient dense foods. Not to mention, ruminant animals are needed to help regenerate our soil.
