Paula Anderson has been my son's myofascial therapist for the past year. It has been a fascinating journey, so I asked her to join me on the podcast for a two-part series to share what she does. Today, in Part 1, Paula dives into the benefits of nasal breathing and the importance of getting high-quality sleep. She also sheds light on good oral posture and how it keeps the airway open day and night to help prevent illness and pain, and improve sleep quality. The four primary goals of myofunctional therapy: Being able to breathe through the nose, day and night Having the lips seal Having the correct tongue posture Having a proper swallowing pattern Paula Anderson's Bio: Paula Anderson is a Qualified Orofacial Myologist and a Registered Dental Hygienist. She has worked in the dental profession for over 20 years. After taking several continuing education classes on craniofacial development and sleep-disordered breathing with her husband, she came across the field of myofunctional therapy. She instantly realized how that field could be applied to everything they do in dentistry. She also realized that her entire family, including herself, could benefit from this therapy. From mouth breathing and snoring, ortho relapse, and TMJ, she dove in and learned from the best in the field. She has always loved holistic health, and working with a team approach to whole-body health and myofunctional therapy is her contribution to this field. She is IAOM (International Association of Orofacial Myologists) trained and is also a member of the International Association of Orofacial Myologists. She is also a certified MyoMunchee practitioner. She has lived in the Quad Cities her entire life, and she and her husband have four daughters, two sons-in-law, two grandsons, and several fur babies.

He clarifies what makes a home healthy, safe, and non-toxic, what to prioritize when making your home healthier and how to reduce mold and off gassing inside your home. Two types of off-gassing that occur in a new house: Cured or applied materials, like paint adhesives and caulking liquids, cure on site and off-gas daily but generally take anywhere from two-and-a-half to four-and-a-half years to completely off-gas.

A low-alcohol, Keto-friendly wine that doesn’t leave you feeling worse for the wear sounds like something from your dreams. I’m joined by Todd White of Dry Farm Wines to talk about Natural Wine production and why it’s the best wine for you to drink. About Todd White Todd White is a serial entrepreneur and creator since the age of 17. Today, after 15 years in the wine business, he dedicates his life to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition, and how they think about consuming alcohol. As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, he has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is deeply passionate about bringing people together to share love and laughter through Natural Wine and the health benefits it provides. Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting. He is also a frequent speaker on topics including ketogenic lifestyle, meditation, and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. His entire team gathers each morning for a meditation and gratitude practice. Key Takeaways Just because a wine is labeled organic doesn’t mean it’s natural. Women in menopause tend to have more headaches and other hangover symptoms when they drink red wine because of the additives in it. The sugar content in Natural Wine is extremely low, so it’s not going to spike your blood sugar like other wines. In This Episode What the natural wine movement is How the wine industry mimics the processed food and factory farming industries What you need to know about the additives, both natural and chemical, used in wine production The role of irrigation in winemaking Where red wine gets its deep red color Why middle-aged women have a more difficult time drinking red wine Links & Resources Check out the full show notes for this episode here Check out the Your Longevity Blueprint Blog Get Your Penny Bottle of Wine from Dry Farm Wines Find Todd White and Dry Farm Wines Online Follow Dry Farm Wines on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Pinterest Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic
