Here is Jess doing one of her favorite things....making an impact!

Each year she travels to Guatemala on a dental humanitarian trip where she impacts the lives of so many people in need.

Here's 5 more fun facts about our new talent, Jessica!

#1: She has a Golden doodle named Lloyd Christmas
#2: She has snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef
#3: Her favorite dessert is sugar cookies (great time of year for those!)
#4: She loves any sour candy
#5: She considers diet coke to be one of the food groups

[My nutrition therapy brain is going all sorts of crazy right now.]

We're so excited to have her on the Impact team! Let's give her a warm welcome!

One of the many reasons that we have trouble unwinding these days and getting a good night sleep is because we have too much on our plate. We can't simply relax and give our body the chance to rest, recover, and feel safe.

High cortisol? Probably.
Over taxed adrenal function? Probably.
Weight gain? Grumpiness? Anxiety? Probably.

Friend, if you have peas falling off your plate its time to reevaluate how you manage your time. What can you say no to?

P.S. No is full sentence.

Obstructive sleep apnea is the most expensive, chronic, degenerative disease out there. It’s hitting crisis levels, which is why Impact Myofunctional Therapy is wildly passionate about helping identify sleep apnea “red flags” and offering solutions to help improve sleep quality and overall health.

In this episode of the Myo Minute, learn the causes of obstructive sleep apnea.

If you or someone you know has poor sleep quality, snoring, sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, open mouth breathing or weight issues, please reach out to schedule an exam, www.myofunctionaltherapy4u.com.

It might be a life or death situation.

BOLD!! This sums up how I feel about the mom's in the Mommy, Myo & Me program!

This "bridge education program" is meant to help momma's "bridge the gap" between learning that your child has myofunctional impairments and the time he or she is old enough to do "big kid myofunctional therapy".

In this program, you will learn simple or game-based exercises to get a head start on making improvements to your child's breathing and craniofacial development. This program is designed for kiddos around age 3-5, but various ages have used it! If your child is older, but can’t begin myofunctional therapy at this time, there is certainly something to be gained for an older child!!

This "at your own" pace education program includes 10 lessons complete with detailed video instructions, a complete exercise information workbook and a parent success guide. It also includes our unparalleled, customer success support! This program provides you with 10-12 months of simple myofunctional game-based activities (or longer, because many parents have been using these activities for years!)

The program will work on the following objectives

👉Favor nasal breathing
👉Recognize the spot
👉Correct tongue posture
👉Correct mouth posture
👉Re-educate the orofacial muscles, improve strength and coordination

Your first lesson is available immediately, and a new lesson is released every 2 weeks after that.

You can enroll here: https://bit.ly/3rJJjfM

Straight from the Harvard Health blog...the answer is a resounding yes!!

"The link connecting being overweight and sleep apnea has been established because people who are overweight have extra tissue in the back of the throat which can obstruct air flow."

We all know that losing weight can be a significant challenge, however if someone was to lose just 10% of their body weight, it can have a dramatic improvement on sleep apnea.

Here is where I want to encourage you NOT to sit around and do nothing about your sleep apnea "because you're gonna just lose the weight and be fine."

This is where many of my clients have given up years of their life...and perhaps years OFF their life.

Yes, losing weight will help sleep apnea, but you can lose weight while you are doing other things like using a CPAP and doing orofacial myofunctional therapy. Both of those interventions will get you feeling better, which in turn will help you have more energy and inspiration to eat right and lose weight.

Having poor sleep makes everything worse, including your mood, pain levels, the food you crave and your waistline.

I'm so proud to add Jessica to the team!

Not gonna lie, this was a difficult process! When it was finally time to add talent to the team, I spent a lot of time wondering who would be good enough for my clients, who had a similar personal and practice philosophy and who could fill my shoes?

The moment I met Jess, I knew she could be the one.

Jessica is a therapist that I've mentored from the very beginning so I know how good she will be serving you. Her warm personality is easy to work with and she has a real passion for making an impact.

She will be a beautiful addition to our team!

Jessica's focus within the practice will be working with pediatric clients who are experiencing sleep-disordered breathing and poor sleep quality. She will begin seeing clients January 2, 2023 and her schedule is filling fast.

Do you have a child with sleep quality concerns?
How about mouth breathing? Snoring? Tooth crowding? Bedwetting? Behavior issues?

We can help. Start with your exam today: https://bit.ly/3EmWGZa
