What does your mouth have to do with your anxiety, sleep quality, food cravings, and cardiovascular disease? Everything! When you tune in to this episode, you will begin to think about your overall health in a way you have never thought before. Dr. Michael Gelb, DDS, MS joins us today with a vibrant evidence-based conversation on airway management and how dysfunctional breathing during sleep can lead to various other issues in our bodies.He explains how expanding our airways does more than just rid us of pesky headaches, but also improves our mental health, our micro-biome, cardiopulmonary system, and more. He discusses the importance of breastfeeding and introducing solid foods at an early age to help infants naturally improve the width of their airways. This directly improves oxygen saturation and prefrontal cortex development in their brains. Dr. Gelb dives deep into the various types of airway disorders and treatments that he offers through The Gelb Center for children and adults, where he helps hundreds of patients every year.Dr. Gelb is a world-renowned TMJ and Sleep Specialist with practices in both New York City and White Plains.

We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, and while this may seem like a waste of time, Dr. Howard Hindin assures us the time we spend sleeping has important implications for how good the other two thirds of our lives are. When we sleep, we consolidate memories, our immune system repairs itself, and our body gets rid of wastes. One night of poor sleep can change the immune system, increase chronic inflammation, and affect brain function. This can have compounding affects when experienced regularly. Our airway health could be affecting the quality of our sleep, and the real kicker is…we may not even know it. Click play to hear Dr. Hindin, DDS, talk about the importance of airway health, collaborative healthcare, and quality sleep. He is the co-founder and chairman of the Foundation for Airway Health and a partner and founder of the American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry (AAPMD). Dr. Hindin is passionate about airway health and encourages you to become an advocate as well. October 2 is Global Airway Health Day; sign up to be an advocate at www.airwayhealth.org. He also encourages practitioners and non-practitioners alike to visit www.AAPMD.org
Do you feel like one side of your body is stronger or weaker than the other? Perhaps some muscles are overcompensating for this and maybe it’s even affecting your breathing. This isn’t uncommon. In fact, it’s quite normal and there are systems out there to help address this. Mike Cantrell is an instructor for the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) where he helps all sorts of people gain stability and strength in their bodies. He has a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Emory University School of Medicine and uses his expertise in PRI as well as his sense of humor to break down difficult concepts of human kinetics for anyone to understand. In this interview, Mike introduces us to the PRI system. This involves recognizing that our bodies are naturally asymmetrical. This impacts everything from the way we breathe to how we perceive our environment. Once we have this knowledge we can start to purposefully breathe, move, and exercise in ways that support both sides of our bodies. Throughout this really fun conversation, Mike shares his unique perspective on many topics concerning our asymmetrical anatomy that will help anyone become more knowledgeable and comfortable in their body. Have you noticed an asymmetry in your body affecting your movements? Tell me about it in the comments on the episode page! In this episode: The natural asymmetry of the human body and why it’s important to understand it The asymmetry of the brain and why this matters The importance of fully exhaling and why so few of us truly do so Your hamstrings as some of the most important yet neglected muscles you have The integrative breath-centered PRI approach to dealing with hypermobility and ligamentous laxity How asymmetry plays out in the bodies of high-performance athletes and how to use this knowledge to keep them healthy PRI activities that you can safely try at home Quotes: “PRI is simply an institute that is crystalizing an understanding about human asymmetry. That’s the job and the role of the Postural Restoration Institute, to synthesize and collect research and data on the fact that humans are asymmetrical and that it matters.” [8:56] “What I would love to see people do is fully exhale before they decide to inhale, or fully load right before they decide to fully load left. Then we can learn ‘em how to fully load left and teach them how to go back to the right. That’s called pendular alternating lateralization.” [15:12] “The more confident you are about the science about what you’re saying, the more reliant that patient will be upon your instruction -- and then the better off you are at prescribing whatever it is you want to do.” [29:47] Links: Find Mike Cantrell online Follow Mike on Instagram | Twitter Postural Restoration Institute American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
Your Child’s Crooked Teeth, Their Breathing & Their General Health Major medical breakthroughs can come from unexpected places, who would think an artist could transform orthodontic practice? George Catlin, an American artist born in 1796, is famous for his remarkable record in paintings and notes on native Indians but his great genius has been almost ignored till recent years. In his book entitled “Shut Your Mouth & Save Your Life” written in 1870 he details his assertions that the bad habit of modern man of mouth breathing was the cause of much of his disease and disfigurement. This was based on his close observation and questioning of thousands of native Indians & white immigrants. It has taken almost one and a half centuries for modern research in medicine to recognize the validity of this concept. Today there is a growing number of specialist orthodontists and health workers who say the same thing based on sound scientific evidence. On 5th October 2012 there was a Conference in New York of American Association of Physiological Medicine & Dentistry discussing this association. Since then an increasing number of orthodontists are adding breath training to their regular practice services especially with young children whilst their cranial structures are developing. So now we know that orthodontic problems like crooked or crowded teeth are not due to genetic factors but to the bad habit of mouth breathing. You can watch an excellent video on YouTube by the leading international dentist Dr. John Flutter who explains the technicalities, just search for Dr. John Flutter. If the only adverse effect of mouth breathing was poor facial development that would be bad enough, but mouth breathing also predisposes children to other health problems including recurrent throat infections, enlarged tonsils, asthma, poor sleep and much more, simply because their bodies are poorly oxygenated and the protection against infective agents is lost by not breathing through the nose. Everyone can learn to breathe normally in just a few weeks with the Buteyko Method Training. Much of the success of the Buteyko Method of training is due to the elimination of mouth breathing, advice against over-eating, the encouragement of more physical exercise and advice on quality sleeping. The ideas are so simple to teach or learn that they have been dismissed by mainstream medicine that increasingly puts its faith (yes, I use the word “faith” intentionally) in drug therapy or other intensive medical interventions. The truth is there is little profit to be made from simple remedial systems that could threaten the profitability of our international pharmaceutical companies and the vast industry built on the management of disease if the public were better informed of their existence. Meanwhile, take Mr. Catlin’s advice and ensure you and your family “Shut Your Mouth & start on the road to better health!” Dr john Flutter video:
If you suffer from any problem like chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, neck pain, trouble concentrating, GI problems, acid reflux, or IBS, the problem may have its roots in your airway. It’s never good to overlook your airway considering breathing is something you’re doing all the time. In fact, you breathe 20,000 to 25,000 times every day. To help understand this the importance of your airway, I am joined on this episode by someone who is revolutionizing the way practitioners think about and treat breathing issues. Dr. Michael Gelb is a world-renowned TMJ and sleep specialist with practices in NYC and White Plains. He is the co-inventor of the Airway Centric™ Medical Device and NORAD (nocturnal oral airway dilator appliance) used by thousands to prevent snoring. All you regular listeners know how much importance I place on breathing. That is why Dr. Gelb is near and dear to my heart, as he has focused his career on the airway. Today we talk about some very important issues related to airway health and breathing. We discuss the common causes of airway issues and recent breakthrough solutions. We talk about how parents can take action starting right at birth to prevent these issues for their children. For grownups with airway issues, there are a number of corrective measures that can be done to drastically improve their physical and mental well-being, all of which we break down for you in this episode. Do you suspect an airway issue could be the cause of a health problem? Leave a comment on the episode page! In this episode: The facial and jaw-structures that can create problems with a narrow airway The important difference between day-breathing and night-breathing The ways that orthodontia can affect the airway and how to prevent or reverse the damage How a narrow airway can affect so many different parts of your body as well as your brain New solutions to prevent or correct restricted airways Quotes: “So I see these neck issues, these postural issues which have been there for 25 or 30 years. What you see as a kid is usually what you get as an adult. But it’s never too late to intervene.” [8:34] “When you give the body oxygen and deep sleep it heals itself. Now add in some good food and a little bit of exercise and you really see dramatic changes. [14:02] “I know that airway trumps everything else in dentistry. So I’m going to tell you that if we’re stuck with a case, a lot of functional medicine people say to start with the gut. I really believe that the gut runs the show. The gut runs the brain, the gut runs everything; my emotions, my immune system - everything. But along with that, start with the airway. If you start with breathing, it’s going to clear up so many more issues that you have.” [34:20] Links: Find Dr. Michael Gelb online Follow Dr.Gelb on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube The Gelb Center The Foundation for Airway Health American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry Gasp!: Airway Health - The Hidden Path To Wellness My Daddy Snores by Nancy Rothstein Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTub
