Thank you, Jordyn for sharing your healing journey with us! Have a listen as she opens up about learning to be patient with herself, listening to her body's needs, and allowing time for rest along the way. In her powerful testimonial, she shares, how she is learning to tune into what her mind and body require without judgment. Some days that means giving herself permission to pause and recharge. Jordyn's words are a poignant reminder that healing has its ebbs and flows. By approaching it with patience and self-attunement, we can navigate the path with self-compassion.

Sleep issues can impact not only the function or our brain but may lead to chronic pain, emotional dysregulation, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Sleep disorders may be caused by upper airway issues, which often requires a team of experts to efficiently collaborate as a team. Every case is so unique and involves an individualized approach. At TCLM, we believe it takes a village in order to heal. We love guiding patients through a multidisciplinary healing path to resolve sleep issues. Therefore, we have decided to host an exciting "Ask the Expert" medical group visit series. This week, we have two incredible guests, Susi Quintana (Myofunctional Therapist) and Dr. Gerard Meskill (Sleep Neurologist). Text us at 713-597-4521 for more info and to register! Life is too beautiful to have to walk through it seemingly sleepwalking and foggy. Discover tools to heal and solutions to improve the quality of your sleep!

Restricted airway issues are becoming more prevalent. But why is this the case? Due to epigenetic changes (expressions of genes based on lifestyle habits) and diet changes over the years, our jaw structures have changed quite drastically over the years. With these changes, dental issues can be a concern, restricted airways, poor posture that contributes to smaller airways, and more. If we are not getting adequate oxygen in the night, there are many downstream affects- hormone imbalances, chronic pain, immune dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, and the list goes on! The good news is that there are more solutions available. At TCLM we construct a dream team of physicians we collaborate with to provide solutions and get to the root of airway issues and sleep disorders. Check out our group visit series, especially as we invite experts as guests to discuss solutions! Check out our group visit page on our website for the full calendar. Text us to register for a visit at 713-597-4521.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Jordyn, and for discussing valuable tools that have been helping you heal! In this clip, Jordyn discusses the importance of addressing airway issues, an issue that is becoming more prevalent throughout the years as the width of our palette and jaw sizes have changed over the years. The good news is that there are short term and long-term solutions for correcting this, such as dental devices, expansion procedures, and the use of a correct C-pap machine. Having an assessment from an airway-centric dentist may be a great place to start! Thank you for trusting us with your health journey, Jordyn!

Check out the Demystifying Fibromyalgia conference recordings at physciantransformationinstitute.com/fibro where we unveil the transformative insights shared by experts! 🎉 Featured prominently in our conference recordings is the extremely knowledgeable, Susi Quintana, founder of the Myofunctional Method, who delves deep into the intricate connection between airway issues, dental problems, and chronic health conditions. Susi Quintana emphasizes the pivotal role of myofunctional therapy in maintaining corrective changes post-tie releases, orthodontic procedures, and other interventions. She advocates for a holistic approach, coining the term "Airway Team," which comprises dedicated professionals addressing airway, orthodontic, and dental issues affecting patients' sleep and overall health. 💡 Recognizing the interdependence of form and function, Susi underscores the necessity of addressing both structural and functional aspects for successful outcomes. Orthodontic relapse, TMJD, and jaw surgery relapse are common challenges seen in patients, highlighting the inadequacy of solely addressing structural issues. Overall, Susi Quintana's perspective underscores the importance of a holistic approach in tackling the complex interplay between airway, orthodontic, and dental issues in patients with chronic health conditions. By integrating myofunctional therapy into treatment plans and forming an Airway Team, healthcare providers can empower patients to achieve lasting improvements in both oral health and overall well-being.

While it often feels easier to do than to be, we want to encourage you to slow down and breathe. Did you know that our bodies are wired in such a way that they heal, repair, and even boost immune function when they are in the parasympathetic state of the nervous system, known as "rest and digest?" However, most of us struggle to maintain a balance between our sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic state. This causes negative downstream affects that impact us on an emotional and physical level. Sometimes it's easier to learn how to promote balance and retrain your body and mind by receiving some guidance in a safe space. Join us every Thursday for our in-person Mind-Body Medicine Groups! 🌞 Dive into the transformative practices of breathwork, meditation, and tai chi, designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Groups are led by the skilled and compassionate Geny Moreno, Mind-Body Medicine Practitioner. At Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine, we believe in addressing health issues by embracing the WHOLE you. Our approach encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, fostering self-awareness and holistic healing. Experience the harmony of mind and body, and embark on a journey towards optimal wellness with us. Whether you're seeking relief from stress, pain management, or simply yearning for inner balance, our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way. 🌟 Elevate your well-being and discover the art of living fully!

Embark on a journey with Dr. Liao, the renowned Airway Mouth Doctor, at our Demystifying Fibromyalgia Conference! 🌐✨ Dr. Liao unveils the profound connection between the mouth and the overall health of our bodies, offering invaluable insights into holistic dentistry and its impact on our well-being. 🔄 From the earliest stages of life, our growth is intricately linked to the functions of the mouth. Dr. Liao walks us through the developmental milestones and how the mouth plays a pivotal role in this journey. 🏛️ Dr. Liao emphasizes the concept of maintaining proper jaw and mouth structure in order to support an open airway - The structure of our skull, airway and jaw play an important role in various functions such as alignment, breathing, circulation, digestion, energy, and sleep. 💪 The mouth, as Dr. Liao defines it, is not just a part of our anatomy but a crucial supporter of overall health, influencing the heart, brain, gut, and more. His teachings extend to training holistic airway-centric dentists, orthodontists, and airway team members to recognize and leverage this connection for optimal well-being. 🌟 Ready to explore the profound impact of a holistic mouth on your health?

Understand the process of non-surgical expansion with Orthodontist, Dr. Karotkin, in this intriguing snippet from our Demystifying Fibromyalgia Conference! Dr. Karotkin unravels the complexities of expanding the airway, addressing both pediatric and post-puberty cases. When we are young and growing, expanding the jaw and airway is relatively straightforward. A specially designed expansion appliance stimulates the jawbone, causing it to respond and expand, promoting better airflow. 🚫 However, in post-puberty adults, it's a different story. Cranial sutures are fused, making it impossible to expand the jaw by merely pushing on the teeth. Dr. Karotkin introduces us to the MARPI (microimplant assisted Rapid palatal expander or expansion) device, a game-changer for adults seeking to enhance their airway. 🔄 MARPI not only describes the process but also the appliance used for upper jaw expansion. This innovative approach goes beyond traditional methods, offering effective solutions for adults who have chronic health issues related to sleep disorders and small or blocked airways. 🔍 Ready to explore more?
