Are you aware of how your breathing and nervous system work together to impact your health?

In this episode, Lois Laynee, a cranial nerve expert, discovers these fascinating connections. From breathing and body alignment to the nervous system’s role in healing, learn all about understanding how our cranial nerves play a vital role in feeling and functioning well.

Lois, a lifelong healer and pioneer in dental medicine, shares her journey from helping PTSD  trauma survivors to transforming lives through cranial nerve work. She dives into her unique approach, which she calls “functional neurophysiology,” revealing how she uses cranial nerve exams to pinpoint issues often missed in traditional healthcare. We talk about the brainstem’s essential role in controlling breathing and the importance of thorough evaluations—testing rather than guessing—to uncover underlying issues like poor breathing mechanics. Lois explains why even minor injuries, like a chipped tooth or a ball hitting your face, can disrupt the body’s “fuse box,” impacting the nervous system and triggering ongoing stress. We also break down why cranial nerve health and oral care are often overlooked in healthcare but are so important for long-term health.

If you’re ready to explore how cranial nerves and oral health connect to your body’s overall wellness, tune in to gain real insights and practical tools for healing. Listen now!
