What if better sleep, clearer focus, and a calmer mind all started with how you breathe?

In this episode Dr. Liz Turner and Dr. Meggie Graham sit down with Melissa Mugno, host of the Mind Your Mouth Podcast. Together, they explore how something as simple and powerful as breathing well can transform every part of your life.

Melissa shares her inspiring story of growing up with undiagnosed sleep and focus challenges, her journey through the world of dentistry, and how discovering airway health changed her life and career. From her early days assisting in dental offices to becoming a leading consultant and educator in myofunctional therapy, Melissa’s story is a reminder that healing begins when we learn to listen and breathe.

This conversation goes far beyond dentistry. It’s about connection, awareness, and the power of understanding how our airway shapes who we are mentally, physically, and emotionally. Whether you are a parent hoping your child sleeps better, a dentist expanding your airway expertise, or someone looking for a healthier, more centered life, this episode will leave you thinking differently about every breath you take.

You will hear about:

• The surprising link between breathing, sleep, ADHD, and mental health
• How airway screening and myofunctional therapy empower both patients and providers
• The truth about tongue-ties and why therapy always comes first
• Building an airway-aware practice (without burnout or overwhelm)
• Why awareness, not perfection, is the real key to better health

Join Dr. Meggie and Dr. Liz each week as they bring bold insights, personal stories, and practical advice to help you breathe freely and live fully. Because when you breathe better, you live better.
