Description: What if everything from your sleep to your jawline to your daily energy hinged on one simple act — how you breathe? From childhood development to adult snoring, from jaw tension to chronic fatigue, Shirley’s pioneering work in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) reveals how retraining the muscles of your mouth and face can help open airways, improve sleep, and restore vitality. Discover why the tongue is “nature’s orthodontist,” why your nose is your built-in air filter, and how something as simple as chewing Spry xylitol gum can reshape your health from the inside out.Special Guest: Shirley Gutkowski, RDH, BSDH, FACE — better known as “America’s DentalHygienist”
