Is Your Tongue Making You Sick? The Hidden Link Between Airway Health, Sleep, and Chronic Symptoms
What if everything you thought about health is missing one major factor—your airway?
In this jaw-dropping episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee interviews Alyse Shockey, RDH, CHHP, CSOM—airway health pioneer, orofacial myology expert, and founder of Tongue University™. With over 30 years in dentistry and holistic health, Alyse reveals how your tongue position, breathing patterns, and childhood habits could be silently contributing to fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, and even ADHD misdiagnoses.
This episode exposes how airway dysfunction goes undetected in both kids and adults—causing widespread symptoms that are too often misdiagnosed or ignored.
💡 What Listeners Will Learn
✅ Why Tongue Position Could Be Wrecking Your Health Most people have no idea where their tongue should be resting. Poor placement affects your breathing, posture, sleep, and facial development—yes, even as an adult.
✅ The Shocking Childhood Signs of Airway Dysfunction Bedwetting, thumb-sucking, night terrors, ADHD, and crooked teeth are often misdiagnosed symptoms of an airway issue, not behavioral problems.
✅ How Tech Neck & Mouth Breathing Are Reshaping Faces The rise in electronic use and open-mouth posture in kids is impacting jaw development and overall facial symmetry.
✅ Why Orthodontics Alone May Not Fix the Problem Without retraining the tongue and correcting mouth function, braces alone won’t prevent relapse—and may cause more issues long-term.
✅ How You Can Start Fixing the Problem Today Simple tests, posture checks, and breathing awareness can reveal red flags. Alyse offers practical, everyday ways to reclaim your airway and your health.
