“Breastfeeding is the biological norm”
“If you’re having pain issues don’t wait it out any longer than two weeks”
“Airway size, patency of airway, and function are the three things that are really impacting how you breathe”
“Jaw size correlates to airway size”
“When the tongue is activated and is smashed up in the roof of your mouth while you’re sleeping like it should be, that's keeping all of the muscles of the oral facial relaxed”
