MYTH: Myofunctional therapy only helps with snoring, not sleep apnea.
🚫 Not quite!

FACT: Myofunctional therapy strengthens the muscles of the tongue, throat, and face — which can reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea by improving upper airway function.

**Sleep, Shingles, and Stroke: What’s the Connection?**

You may know that shingles can cause a painful rash, but did you realize that it also raises your risk of stroke, heart attack, and even dementia?

Here’s the crucial point: poor sleep exacerbates this issue. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body becomes inflamed. This inflammation is the same response triggered by shingles, and when combined, it places extra strain on your heart and brain.

Sleep is also vital for maintaining a strong immune system. It helps your body prevent viral reactivations and enhances the effectiveness of vaccines.

Recent research indicates that individuals who receive the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) have:
✔️ 23% lower risk of stroke
✔️ Reduced risk of dementia
✔️ Enhanced cardiovascular protection

📌 **Bottom Line:**
Prioritize quality sleep and protect yourself through vaccination. Consider wellness as an interconnected system—affecting everything from your skin to your brain.

MYTH: Sleep apnea only affects older adults.
🚫 Not true!

FACT: Sleep apnea can impact people of all ages — including children.
If your child snores, mouth breathes, or tosses and turns at night, it might be more than just “normal growing pains.”

🧠 A 2019 study (Huang et al.) found that myofunctional therapy — exercises to retrain the muscles of the face and mouth — can significantly reduce sleep apnea symptoms in kids.

👅 Why it works:
This therapy improves breathing, posture, tongue placement, and airway tone — all essential for healthy, restful sleep.

🌙 Early intervention is key. Catching sleep apnea in children early can prevent long-term health and developmental issues.

📍Dr. Gorman provides comprehensive evaluations and kid-friendly therapies to help children sleep and breathe better.

😴 Struggling with sleep during perimenopause or menopause?
You're not alone—and there's a biological reason for it.

As hormone levels shift, especially estrogen and progesterone, your body’s ability to regulate restful sleep is disrupted. That means more night sweats, hot flashes, and restless nights.

✨ At Gorman Health & Wellness, we help women navigate midlife changes with real solutions backed by science and compassion.

Why nose breathing?
Because your body is smarter than you think.

✔️ Filters the air
✔️ Adds moisture
✔️ Warms it before it hits your lungs

Mouth breathing skips all that—and your body pays the price.

Breathe better. Live better.
