Breathing Crisis: Our Silent Epidemic

At 85-years old, Roger Price is a pioneer in airway health and breathing re-education. He played a key role in the development of Myobrace, created the AddressStrep app, and is the founder and CEO of the International Institute for Orthopostural Education (IIOPE), a Sydney-based nonprofit focused on preventative early intervention in children's health.In this latest episode of Your Mouth Matters, Roger sits down with Dr. Rebecca Taylor to discuss his decades of research into breathing dysfunction and why he believes we're facing a silent health crisis in kids. He shares shocking findings from international school screenings, where 63 out of 65 six-year-olds failed five basic life milestones, and explains why breathing problems don't start at night with sleep apnea but during the day with compensatory patterns that can begin as early as birth.The two discuss signs that parents can watch for, from how their child chews an apple to whether they can stand on one foot. Roger introduces revolutionary concepts to understand breathing chemistry and explains why early intervention could prevent a lifetime of health struggles. He also talks about his upcoming book and affordable monitoring devices designed to help families take control of their breathing health.This episode offers both hope and practical guidance to parents who have sensed that something isn't quite right with their child's health but haven't been able to get answers.Learn more about the International Institute for Orthopostural Education (IIOPE): https://iiope.org/ Learn more about Dr. T and Green City Dental: https://greencitydental.com Learn more about O2dontics: https://o2dontics.com
