The hazards of poorly developed jaws go far beyond just crowded teeth. Consider this. Your maxilla- the upper jaw and roof of your mouth- is also the floor of your nose. If your maxilla is underdeveloped, your nasal airway above and your pharyngeal airway behind are underdeveloped. Small airways bring resistant airflow. Resistant airflow brings sympathetic “fight-or-flight” overdrive and disrupted sleep. Disrupted sleep prevents detoxification and regeneration that is vital to health, a problem compounded by poor nutrient content of today’s food system. Chronic inflammation and disease are fueled by the inability to repair and to detoxify from all of the toxins that modern lifestyle throws at us: in our food, in our air, in our water, in our self care products, in everything.

As long as we give our body the tools it needs, we can not only survive but thrive. Maximize the pillars: Sleep, Breathing, Nutrition, Movement. Minimize the killers: Toxins, Inflammation. As life allows, I will work hard to post content here to explain further.

Stay tuned!
