sorry but its not hot, cute or making me into you when I've told you night after night I watch you fight for your life. Also, your body is too busy making sure your brain and heart have blood flow so your manly parts are sacrificed. TEstosterone drops , and you start being a lump on a log , not the fun guy you used to be.

most importantly I want you to get help because I love you and want you around for the rest of our lives.

so men, don't ignore your snore.

Don't ignore your partner asking you to get help.

They aren't nagging, they are loving and caring and want you to live your best and healthiest life.

When I started this practice I was starting my journey to how I could help myself breathe better, sleep better, and feel better. My eyes were open to the connection even more so to the relationship between the quality of our breath, sleep, and how we rest our tongue in our palate.

I am on the other side of things now 🥳
it has become a mission of mine to spread the word to value of this and how we need to continue to look at the WHOLE person, not the parts, LISTEN to the needs of the client and be a voice of advocacy for those who need it.

Yes, you can say I’m obsessed with this!

I’m so lucky to have found others who have joined our practice so we can help more littles and adults. I am also so grateful to all of those in this community who support each other 💕🙌🏼💕

You know what’s not hot? Knowing your partner can’t breathe properly at night. Their heart is working overtime just to keep them alive. Blood flow to everything else—including down there—gets sacrificed because their body is literally in survival mode. And that’s just scratching the surface.

Night after night, their body fights this battle. Eventually, it just can’t keep up. Stroke. Atrial fibrillation. Dying in their sleep. This isn’t about your s*x life—this is about whether you’re going to be alive.

If you’re snoring, stopping breathing at night, and your partner has begged you multiple times to do something about it but you still haven’t—why should they keep caring when you clearly don’t care enough about yourself?

If this is you, here’s what to do:

Call your doctor. Today. Get a referral to a sleep specialist and schedule a sleep study—you can do it in a lab or at home now. While you’re waiting for that appointment, sleep on your side, prop your head up, skip the alcohol before bed, and if you’re overweight, start working on losing even just 10%.

Get the diagnosis. Get the CPAP or whatever treatment they recommend. Your insurance usually covers it.

But here’s what nobody tells you: the machine is just the start.

In my practice, I work with people dealing with sleep apnea to actually address what’s going wrong in your body. We’re talking orofacial myofunctional therapy—strengthening your tongue and throat muscles so your airway stays open. Breathwork to retrain how you breathe. Muscle toning exercises that target airway collapse. And I collaborate with your sleep doc, ENT, dentist, whoever you need, so you’re getting comprehensive care.

Sleep apnea isn’t just “wear this mask forever.” Your airway muscles can be retrained. Your breathing patterns can be fixed. Your life—and your relationship—can actually improve.

If you or someone you love is dealing with this, let’s talk. DM me or check out : mymyomyhealth.com
Let me show you how functional therapy can work alongside your medical treatment to fix what’s actually broken.

Your life matters. Start acting like it.

That tongue thrust swallow you're seeing? It's not a habit. It's a compensation.

Everyone wants a quick fix. Put a tic tac on the tongue. Throw in a crib or a tongue rake. Tell the kid to remember to swallow correctly. Done, right?

Wrong.

Here's what's actually happening. The tongue isn't lifting up and resting up because it physically can't or because the brain hasn't learned how. This is a strength issue and a cognitive awareness issue. You can't appliance your way out of that.

Think about it. If your kid couldn't do a pushup, would you just yell at them to try harder? Or would you build the actual muscle strength first? The tongue is a muscle. It needs to be trained like one.

And the cognitive piece matters too. The brain has to learn a new motor pattern. It has to override years of compensatory movement and create a new default. That takes time. That takes repetition. That takes actual myofunctional therapy.

Tongue cribs and rakes might stop the behavior temporarily but they don't fix the root cause. The second you take them out, the thrust comes right back because nothing fundamentally changed.

We need to build tongue strength. We need to teach spatial awareness. We need to retrain the swallow pattern from the ground up.

Stop slapping bandaids on a muscle problem. Let's actually fix it.

Chronic jaw pain stems from how your tongue muscle works, and how it rests.

Your tongue is an organ with 8 pairs of muscles.
This organ attaches to bone and other muscle groups for stability.

When the tongue becomes weaker for various reasons (mouth breathing, tongue ties, allergies) the other muscles it’s attached to starts to join in and this creates inflammation.

This inflammation leads to tension and pain. The compensations continue and it becomes a negative feedback loop.

So, start by checking in where your tongue is frequently during th day. Reposition it if it’s not against the palate.
Then, relax. Take second. Breathe. Then notice what other muscles are on.
Scan through the tension and relax everything but your tongue, your tongue should be gently suctioned against your palate.

Keep on trying you can do it !

Your anxiety might just be chronic hyperventilation.

Close your mouth and see what happens to your heart rate.

I'm dead serious about this. A huge chunk of what people experience as anxiety is actually just breathing wrong. Mouth breathing. Overbreathing. Constantly sucking in air like you're preparing for a marathon when you're literally just sitting on the couch.

When you chronically hyperventilate, you're blowing off too much carbon dioxide. Your body freaks out. Your heart races. You feel on edge. Your brain interprets this as danger and boom, anxiety spiral.

But here's the wild part. Close your mouth. Breathe through your nose. Slow it down. Watch your nervous system actually start to calm.

This isn't woo woo breathing exercises. This is basic physiology. Your body needs the right balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide to function properly. Mouth breathing throws that whole system out of whack.

Myofunctional therapy teaches you how to breathe correctly again. Not just during a panic attack. All day. All night. Automatically.

If you've been white knuckling your way through anxiety and nothing seems to help long term, maybe start with your mouth. Literally close it. Breathe through your nose. Notice what shifts.

Your nervous system has been trying to tell you something. Time to listen.

Does your child wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep? 👀

In this video, I’m sharing the telltale signs that your little one might not be breathing or sleeping as well as they should be. These are things you can notice right at home:

• Dry, chapped lips (especially in the morning)
• A narrow jaw or high palate
• Dark circles under their eyes
• Chronic stuffy or crusty nose
• Mouth breathing during the day or night
• Restless sleep or frequent waking

As parents, we often think snoring is “cute” or that mouth breathing is just a phase - but these can actually be red flags that your child’s airway needs support.

Poor sleep doesn’t just mean a cranky kid. It can impact their growth, development, focus at school, behavior, and even their long-term health.

The good news? These issues are often treatable when caught early. 💙

I’m Kelley, a pediatric dental hygienist who specializes in treating orofacial myofunctional disorders. I’m here to help you spot the signs and give your child the gift of better sleep and healthier breathing.

Follow along for more tips, resources, and real solutions for your child’s wellness. ✨

Snoring isn’t just annoying—it’s literally choking. 💀

Your floppy breathing muscles collapse while you sleep, creating that sound we’ve all normalized. But here’s the truth: chronic snoring means your heart is working overtime because you’re not getting enough oxygen.

Sleep apnea treatment isn’t just about wearing a CPAP mask. There are SO many layers to why you’re snoring, and ignoring it puts your life at risk.

I know because I almost f*cking died.

If you snore chronically, get checked by:
• ENT (to check your airway)
• Sleep neurologist
• Dentist specializing in sleep & airway
• Myofunctional therapist

Get answers. Get a plan. Take care of yourself. Your life literally depends on it. 🫶

You woke up with a dry mouth? Congrats, you just wrecked your oral microbiome for the day.

I know that sounds dramatic but stick with me here. When you sleep with your mouth open, you're not just being a casual mouth breather. You're creating a bacterial paradise in there.

Your mouth is supposed to stay moist. Saliva keeps the bad bacteria in check and protects your teeth and gums. But when you mouth breathe all night, everything dries out and the balance gets completely thrown off. Think of it like leaving your front door open and inviting chaos to move in.

And before you tell me you can't help it, I'm going to lovingly challenge that. Most people who mouth breathe at night do it because their body literally can't get enough air through their nose. Congestion. Narrow airway. Tongue position. All fixable things.

This is exactly what myofunctional therapy addresses. We retrain your muscles to breathe the way nature intended. Through your nose. With your mouth closed. Like a functional human.

Your oral microbiome will thank you. Your dentist will thank you. Your partner who has to listen to you snore will definitely thank you.

Stop accepting dry mouth as normal. It's not. Let's fix it.

you can't sleep train a child who can't breathe.

Real talk. If your kid is waking up constantly and you've blamed yourself for not being consistent enough with bedtime routines, I need you to hear this. Sometimes it's not behavioral. Sometimes their body is literally struggling to get air.

This palatal expander creates space. Space for the tongue. Space for oxygen. Space for your kid to not wake up seventeen times a night mouth breathing and restless.

And look, expanders are great but they're not the whole story. Myofunctional therapy retrains how the muscles work so breathing becomes automatic and easy again.

Stop torturing yourself with sleep training programs that were never going to work in the first place. Start asking why your child can't sleep. The answer might be staring you right in the face. Or the palate.
