Do you ever find yourself wondering if your jaw clenching, persistent neck ache, or restless nights could be connected? Join me as I explore the fascinating world of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy with Karindy Ong, also known as the 'MyoHacker.' Karindy, a speech-language pathologist, reveals the hidden connections between our facial muscles and overall health, demonstrating how simple habits can significantly impact our well-being.

Prepare to be amazed as we discuss how the position of your tongue, your chewing habits, and even your bite can influence a range of issues, from sleep apnea to TMJ. Karindy clears up the often-overlooked connections and explains how hormonal changes and aging can intensify these problems.

We’ll demystify tongue ties, explore the significance of proper oral rest posture, and even tackle the mouth-taping debate. Plus, we'll share Karindy's top three practical tips that you can start using at home today—hint: whole apples and tongue clicks are involved!

This episode offers more than just information; it’s about unlocking the potential of your body. If you’re ready to transform your understanding of how your facial structure affects your health and learn practical steps to improve your breathing, sleep, and overall well-being, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
