Ep.80, Bedlessness: The Overlooked Sleep Crisis Affecting Thousands of Children, Luke Mikelson
<b></b>What if one of the biggest threats to a child's health, development, and success wasn't a medical condition—but simply not having a bed? In this powerful episode of ASAP Pathway, Dr. Stacy Becker sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that no child sleeps on the floor in their town.<br />What began as a single bunk bed built in Luke's garage for a local child has grown into a global movement with more than 400 chapters, nearly 500,000 beds delivered, and a mission that is transforming communities across the United States and beyond. Luke shares the emotional story that launched Sleep in Heavenly Peace, the heartbreaking reality of childhood bedlessness, and why something as simple as a bed can profoundly impact a child's physical health, emotional wellbeing, education, confidence, and future.<br /> The conversation also explores purpose, service, leadership, entrepreneurship, founder syndrome, and how acting on small moments can lead to extraordinary change. Whether you're a healthcare provider, educator, parent, business leader, or simply someone looking for hope and inspiration, this episode is a powerful reminder that one person truly can make a difference.

Ep.79, The Hidden Connection Between Smell, Sleep & Neurodegeneration, Dr. Paule Valery Joseph
What if your sense of smell could predict brain health years before symptoms appear? In this fascinating episode of ASAP Pathway the Podcast, Dr. Stacy Becker sits down with neuroscientist and sensory science expert Dr. Paule Valery Joseph to explore the powerful — and often overlooked — role of smell, taste, and chemesthesis in human health.<br /><br />From Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease to sleep-disordered breathing, childhood mouth breathing, long COVID, and emotional memory, this conversation uncovers how deeply connected our olfactory system is to neurological health, cognition, metabolism, and quality of life. Dr. Joseph explains why smell loss may be one of the earliest warning signs of neurodegenerative disease, how COVID changed the medical conversation around smell and taste, and why clinicians should begin treating smell as a vital sign.<br /><br />The discussion also dives into:<br /><ul><li>Mouth breathing and nasal disuse in children</li><li>Sleep apnea and olfactory dysfunction</li><li>Smell training and neuroplasticity</li><li>The emotional power of scent and memory</li><li>Why dentists may be key players in early detection</li><li>The hidden consequences of congenital anosmia</li></ul>This episode is a powerful reminder that the body does not function in silos — and that the nose may hold far more information about our health than we ever realized.<br /><br /><br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dr_paulejoseph/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@dr_paulejoseph</a><br />X/Twitter: @Dr_Paulevj<br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulevjoseph/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulevjoseph/</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/paulevjbear" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@DrPVJoseph</a><br />Threads: @dr_paulejoseph<br />Bluesky: @drpaulejoseph.bsky.social<br />TikTok: @drpaulevj<br />YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@drpaulevaleryjoseph" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @drpaulevaleryjoseph</a><br />Website: <a href="https://paulejoseph.bio/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">paulejoseph.bio</a><br /><br /><br /><b>Chapters 📖</b><br /><b>00:00 – Introduction to Dr. Polly Valerie Joseph</b><br /><b>02:23 – What Is Chemesthesis?</b><br /><b>04:24 – How Smell & Taste Affect Metabolic and Brain Health</b><br /><b>07:51 – The Story That Revealed Smell as a Warning Sign</b><br /><b>09:18 – Why Doctors Rarely Test Cranial Nerve One</b><br /><b>12:14 – When Smell Loss Should Concern You</b><br /><b>14:13 – Why Smell Should Be Considered a Vital Sign</b><br /><b>16:42 – The Connection Between Smell & Neurodegenerative Disease</b><br /><b>20:09 – Early Warning Signs of Smell Dysfunction</b><br /><b>22:01 – COVID, Mouth Breathing & Loss of Smell</b><br /><b>23:43 – Cognitive Effects of Smell Loss</b><br /><b>26:15 – The Importance of Cooking, Flavor & Sensory Engagement</b><br /><b>27:20 – Post-COVID Smell Recovery Clinics & Smell Training</b><br /><b>28:34 – Olfactory Training and Neuroplasticity</b><br /><b>32:10 – Why Most People Would Give Up Their Sense of Smell</b><br /><b>33:40 – Smell, Memory & Emotional Connection</b><br /><b>35:33 – Mouth Breathing, Kids & Long-Term Brain Development</b><br /><b>39:50 – Sleep Apnea, CPAP & Olfactory Function</b><br /><b>48:10 – Sleep, Smell & Brain Activity</b><br /><b>52:21 – Smell Loss as an Early Sign of Neurodegeneration</b><br /><b>55:00 – Questions Dentists Should Start Asking Patients</b><br /><b>59:56 – The Body as an Interconnected System</b><br /><b>01:02:24 – Dr. Joseph’s Upcoming Book “Common Sense”</b><br /><b>01:05:29 – The Smell & Taste Association of North America</b><br /><b>01:06:13 – Congenital Anosmia Explained</b><br /><b>01:08:06 – Ben & Jerry’s and the Science of Flavor Texture</b><br /><b>01:11:54 – Final Thoughts & Future Collaboration</b><br /><br /><b>Learnings</b>...

Ep.78, Beautiful Faces, Better Breathing, Bigger Questions, Dr. Jeff Rouse
In this episode of ASAP Pathway, hosts Dr. Stacy and Dr. Tracey sit down with prosthodontist, educator, author, and disruptor Dr. Jeff Rouse for a powerful conversation about where dentistry is headed. Dr. Rouse shares how a prosthodontist became deeply involved in airway, sleep, bruxism, growth, and craniofacial development—not because it was trendy, but because the traditional explanations no longer made sense.<br /><br />His journey began with questions about bruxism, occlusion, broken restorations, and sleep, and eventually became deeply personal when he recognized the missed signs in his own son, Jake. Together, they discuss why dentistry may need to stop asking permission to develop healthier anatomy, why “airway orthodontics” might not be the best label, and why the real goal may simply be normalizing anatomy: better faces, broader arches, better bites, and better long-term health.<br /><br />This episode challenges old assumptions around orthodontics, extractions, sleep testing, literature interpretation, and interdisciplinary care. It is also a call for dentists to think more critically, read the science more carefully, and step into their role in shaping the future of airway and whole-health dentistry.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jeffreyrouse/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr Jeff Rouse Ig</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeff.rouse.58" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr Jeff Rouse FB</a></b><br /><br /><b>⏱ Chapters </b><br /><b>00:00 — Welcome to ASAP Pathway</b><br /><b>00:51 — Introducing Dr. Jeff Rouse</b><br /><b>02:42 — What is a prosthodontist?</b><br /><b>05:06 — Why a restorative dentist belongs in the airway conversation</b><br /><b>08:04 — Questioning traditional occlusion and bruxism teaching</b><br /><b>10:17 — What the literature really says about sleep bruxism</b><br /><b>11:52 — “Find your Jake”: when airway becomes personal</b><br /><b>15:08 — Parenting, airway, and when “enough is enough”</b><br /><b>17:41 — Why perfect outcomes are not always possible</b><br /><b>19:00 — The danger of overpromising airway results</b><br /><b>21:26 — Why changing anatomy still matters</b><br /><b>22:31 — UPPP, CPAP, and what anatomy changes teach us</b><br /><b>25:56 — Why AHI is not the only marker that matters</b><br /><b>27:02 — Inspire, circumferential collapse, and the role of arch width</b><br /><b>30:05 — Why anatomy-based treatment affects airway</b><br /><b>31:03 — Dr. Tracey on early expansion and serial extractions</b><br /><b>33:22 — Should we stop saying “airway orthodontics”?</b><br /><b>35:20 — Facial aesthetics, arch form, and healthier development</b><br /><b>38:39 — Clear aligners and the future of early orthodontics</b><br /><b>42:02 — The general dentist’s role in early intervention</b><br /><b>43:18 — Challenging the AAO position on airway</b><br /><b>46:09 — Why dentists need better access to literature</b><br /><b>48:37 — Making the AAO position less relevant in daily practice</b><br /><b>50:50 — Why old foundational literature needs re-examination</b><br /><b>55:34 — Teaching dentists how to read the literature</b><br /><b>58:13 — Dr. Rouse’s upcoming Global Diagnosis textbook</b><br /><b>59:55 — Adding maxillary hypoplasia as a diagnostic question</b><br /><b>01:01:19 — Treatment planning airway cases in the new textbook</b><br /><b>01:02:43 — Upcoming education with Rouse, Robbins, and Kinzer</b><br /><b>01:04:08 — Rapid-fire questions: coffee, thermostat, and dancing</b><br /><b>01:10:20 — Final thoughts and ASAP Pathway shoutout</b><br /><br />🧠 <b>Key Learnings</b><br /><ol><li><b>Airway is not just for “sleep dentists.”</b><br />Every area of dentistry can reveal airway-related clues, including prosthodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and restorative care.</li><li><b>Bruxism is more complex than traditional occlusion teaching suggests.</b><br />Dr. Rouse explains that sleep...
