Why Breathe, Live, Nourish?

Breathe, live, nourish is a simple, yet very powerful mantra that I believe promotes physical and mental well-being. It is all encompassing of a way of life.

Breathing is the true essence of life. Without breath we cannot survive. We also know that breathing caries great power. Breathing deeply and consciously, controlling breath, can do things like reduce stress and anxiety, improve digestion, and increase energy levels.

Living is being. Living in the present moment and focusing on passions and purpose can create a life of fulfillment.

Nourishing is the act of giving our body what it needs to survive. Sure, this can be something as simple as nutrient-dense foods, and it can also include self-care practices, together which support overall health and vitality.

By incorporating these three elements into daily life, one can enhance their overall sense of well-being and live a more vibrant and fulfilling life. That is why breathe, live, nourish. Everything that we do really does root from these three things.



Open Your Eyes To The World Of Airway!

What you see when you look at someone doesn’t tell you the whole picture.  There is a world out there that may be unidentifiable to the normal eye….but when you know what to look for you realize there is a huge number of people affected.

Are you tired?  Do you wake up at the same time every night?  Do you grind your teeth?  Do you have crowding of your teeth?  Are you a mouth breather?  Were teeth removed when you had braces?  Do you have anxiety?  Do you snore?  Have you been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?  How about fibromyalgia or IBS?Do you have TMJ disorders?

While I am not making any sort of medical diagnosis, and I can’t guarantee a cause and effect between your ability to breathe and these symptoms….I believe that we need to dive in and recognize that there may be a connection.  I am here to share the dental perspective.  You can draw the conclusion yourself….I just want to present the evidence that has been so eye opening to me, as a person that lives with a major airway problem.

One must be willing to look into the development of the airway through genetic factors as well as environmental factors to really understand the effects that it can have on a person.  Please explore with me as we discuss various topics around airway development, symptoms, prevention, etc.
