Ronda Holman is The Airway Champion. She is the Co-Founder of Airway Coach a revolutionary approach to helping humans learn to help themselves breathe better while they sleep by developing protocols and systems to be preformed daily. She is a 25 year, US Airforce trained, dental assistant who has spent her entire career looking at airway disorders and their negative effects in the mouth.She has dedicated the last  5 years helping patients and strangers understand the negative affects of oral breathing on their oral health. Ronda runs the airway protocol for her general dental practice helping patients rule out sleep apnea and find custom solutions to breathe better while they sleep.Ronda not only has a passion to help people discovered the root cause to so many non-communicable diseases, but she grew up with an undiagnosed airway disorder herself. After connecting the signs to the symptoms it is her mission to help others learn to see the signs so they can advocate for themselves. Many people do not understand the bio mechanics a breathing. Nor do they understand the detrimental effects over breathing/mouth breathing has on sleep quality. Ronda had extraction retraction orthodontics completed when she was 12 years old. She was diagnosed with upper airway resistance syndrome when she was 37 years old. Ronda then made a choice to either live with struggling to breathe during sleep every night and continue to watch her oral health decline or make a change to improve her airway health. She shares her passion every day to help people understand the difference between sleep (surviving) and quality sleep (thriving) and its inter-relationship between airway health and breathing.Here is the link to all of the tools that have helped other humans breathe better while they sleep. https://msha.ke/airwaycoachSHOWNOTES:

In this beautiful episode we get the opportunity to listen to Freyja's 2 incredible birth stories! Listen in to hear a beautiful recount and reflection around the births of her two gorgeous, big baby boys!Her first birth was a difficult one, occurring amongst floods and during COVID and involving an induction due to insulin dependent gestational diabetes and suspected big baby. Ultimately Freyjas' first birth resulted in a caesarean due to 'failure to progress' at 7cm dilation. Freyja recounts her feelings surrounding her birth and all of the hardship in her community at the time of her birth due to surrounding flooding, as well as birthing in the time of COVID. She talked through the journey through processing her first birth experience and how she navigated working towards her next birth, a planned VBAC! Freyja's next birth story is one of triumph, joy and empowerment, involving lots of self-advocacy, flexing her autonomy and pushing forward even when her birth team shifted and changed. Freyja vulnerably shares how she navigated discussions with doctors, balanced the risks of a VBAC with another suspected big baby and also advocated for herself both leading up to and during labour. She talks about the challenges and mindset shifts that led to her VBAC and discusses the importance of educating herself, building strong support systems, advocating for her birth choices and listening to other women' stories as a form of education and inspiration. This episode is full of reflection and information, and Freyja's story is an inspiring reminder that every birth journey is unique and that, with the right support and mindset, women can reclaim control and autonomy over their birthing choices.

BIO:Dr. Neel Bulchandani is an intra- and inter-disciplinary healer specializing in solving complex problems related to sleep, airway, feeding, and mobility. He uses systems thinking and a kaleidoscopic approach (nod to Thomas Edison) in order to help all ages -- babies to adults. He began as a chiropractor 17 years ago, and then 9 years ago, when his daughter was born with a tongue tie, he went down the rabbit hole of tethered oral tissues and airway/feeding centered health. Already curious and delving into fascia and visceral work (organs), Neel dove even deeper in order to help figure out the surrounding issues related to his daughter's feeding issues. He developed a Floor of the Mouth Protocol, and has online courses for both practitioners and patients where he aids them in freeing tongue and mouth tension. He has created an Airway Map comprised of 70 areas in the body that are often restricted when there are issues with the mouth, like tongue tie, narrow palates, etc. He's begun a tour across many cities in 2025 to teach other practitioners his method, and will be in Phoenix in June, Boise in July, Chicago in August, Minnesota in September, and Sarasota and Dallas in November. He's married to Dawn, and dad to 3 (Serenity, Cypress, and Zephyr). He does in-person and virtual appointments, and is based in Santa Barbara. He also sees patients in Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area.SHOWNOTES:

In this episode, Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC, explores the complex—and often controversial—challenges that lactation consultants face when assessing and managing tongue tie in infants. From inconsistent training and ambiguous assessments to provider disagreements and family pressures, Lisa breaks down the barriers to effective care and offers actionable strategies to overcome them.Key Topics Covered:Inconsistent Training & Guidelines: Education on tongue tie varies widely, leaving many professionals with limited or conflicting knowledge. Lisa stresses the need for specialized, evidence-based continuing education and peer collaboration to build confidence and competence.Challenges in Assessment: Accurate diagnosis requires more than a visual check—functional assessment is key. Lisa highlights the importance of understanding oral mechanics and using supportive and proven assessment tools. Interprofessional Disagreements: Differing views among health care providers can confuse families and complicate care. Lisa advocates for respectful, evidence-informed communication and building a trusted referral network.Parental Pressure for Immediate Answers: Families often seek quick fixes amidst feeding struggles. Lisa emphasizes the value of compassionate education, managing expectations, and offering follow-up support.Limited Access to Qualified Providers: A shortage of experienced tongue tie professionals can hinder timely treatment. Lisa encourages exploring virtual consults, maintaining referral lists, and advocating for increased local training.Takeaway: Navigating tongue tie assessment and treatment is both controversial and challenging—but with the right tools, education, and collaboration, lactation consultants can support families more effectively and confidently.Resources & Links Mentioned:

Sarah has a family history of breast cancer and is very aware of the protective benefits of breastfeeding so she was determined to persist despite the challenges. She only realised she had flat nipples after the birth of her first baby so she used nipple shields for four months and fed without them for an extra 11 months. Her second baby was born with a tongue tie which has led to a slew of challenges including a shallow, painful latch subsequently causing cracked nipples and three rounds of mastitis. She talks about the difficulty in accessing consistent lactation support and the expert care of Dr Nicole Gale at Juno Specialists who released her baby's tongue tie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can listen to Andrea's birth stories in episode 312 and today, she shares her incredibly informed story about breastfeeding hypoplasia, also known as Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT). As she says, it's a story about what happens when breastfeeding doesn't happen. Her journey highlights the polarity between breastfeeding and formula feeding, the judgement when you choose not to breastfeed (or can't breastfeed) and the lack of lactation and social support for all mothers in postpartum and how this informs and influences feeding choices. Her experience also reflects the data: there is a strong link between inability to breastfeed and perinatal anxiety and depression. Andrea is also the editor of our postpartum book and has been a vital part of ensuring we talk about infant feeding objectively and with awareness of all experiences.  -------- Today's episode is brought to you by Kiwi.co.
