Episode 113: The Tongues Influence on Sleep, Posture and Facial Structure with Dr. Mandeep Johal

Whole-body health starts in the mouth.In this episode of Wholistic Living, I sit down with holistic dentist Dr. Mandeep Johal to uncover how the mouth, tongue, and airway shape far more than just your smile. We dive deep into the overlooked connection between tongue posture, facial development, breathing, and sleep-disordered breathing... and why so many children and adults today struggle with issues like mouth breathing, crowded teeth, poor sleep, bedwetting and chronic fatigue.Dr. Johal explains how tongue and lip ties, improper oral posture, and underdeveloped jaws can change the structure of the face and impact the airway, often setting the stage for long-term health problems. We also explore how modern trends like lip filler and nose surgeries may actually be compensating for deeper developmental issues that begin in childhood.In this episode we discuss:• Tongue ties and lip ties and how they affect breathing and development• The role of myofunctional therapy in correcting oral posture• Why facial structure is changing in modern populations• The connection between jaw development and sleep-disordered breathing• Mouth breathing and its impact on long-term health• Why many people end up needing braces, fillers, or nasal surgery• How early intervention can change facial growth and airway health•And so much more!If you struggle with poor sleep, chronic fatigue, mouth breathing, TMJ issues, or crowded teeth, this episode may completely change how you think about your health. Join the 60 Day Gut Reset & Start When You're ready with $200 OFF! https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_4mzzdrn3?coupon_code=SECRETOFFERWant to work with me? email me to [email protected] with Dr. Johal and get a FREE consultation for yourself or your child - https://drmandeepjohal.com/Follow Dr. Johal on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmandeepjohal/Equip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLA
