Yes, I'm approaching 80. (Can't believe it!) Yes, I'm planning on running yet another marathon. (Looking forward to it!)

Crazy? Probably, but running with my lips sealed and slowing my breathing has improved my running performance! Thank you, Patrick McKeown of Oxygen Advantage from whom I learned about nasal breathing and sports and became inspired!

Here Patrick McKeown interviews me about:

*my journey becoming a nasal breather - even running marathons with my lips taped

*the research: 22% less air, same performance, better oxygen utilization

*why extraction orthodontics can compromise the airway

*the impact of sleep-disordered breathing in children & its impact on brain development

*what parents should do if told their child needs teeth removed for orthodontics

What if the key to running further, calmer, and healthier wasn't in...

It was my honor to receive diplomat status from the AAPMD (American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry) this past weekend. Dr Michael Gelb, Dr Larry Tilley, and Dr Sean Simon and I received the award for our contributions to the field of airway dentistry. Drs Jason Choorapuzha, Neil Dhillon, Farah Jamal-Ahmed, Joongseo Kim, Jill Meyer, and Randell Smith completed 85+ hours of CE with Drs Jeff Hindin and John Tucker to receive their diplomate status. Thank you Academy. Thank you AAPMD co-founder Howie Hindin. Together we are helping patients breathe better to have better, healthier lives. 😁

What a stellar group! The Early Childhood Health-centered Orthodontics™ (E.C.H.O.) Mentorship began a new cohort this weekend with a 3-day meeting in Dallas. General dentists and pediatric dentists from across the US and Canada met to learn more about helping young children sleep and breathe better. But it didn't end with the weekend! Already I'm receiving cases to review, and we'll have monthly Zoom case discussions as well as another 3-day in-person meeting in the fall. This group is really going to keep me busy.😃 ....and I'm thrilled so many children (and families) will be helped. 👏
