Untethered Airway Health

About Untethered Airway Health

Welcome to the No One Told Me Airway Health Connection podcast — where modern dentistry meets whole-body wellness. Hosted by Dr. Liz Turner and Dr. Meggie Graham, airway-centered dentists and moms behind the Untethered Airway Health Center, this podcast is your new favorite space to explore how breathing better changes everything. We created this show to educate and empower families, providers, and anyone who’s ever felt like something’s “off” — whether it’s your child’s restless sleep, picky eating, chronic congestion, or your own ongoing fatigue and reliance on sleep aids. The answer may lie in your airway. And the good news? There’s a path forward. 🎙 Why tune in? Because airway health is about more than teeth or snoring. It’s the root of sleep, behavior, feeding, focus, growth, and quality of life — from infancy through adulthood. And while these issues are common, they’re not normal. They’re treatable. We believe in root-cause, research-backed care — without overwhelm. We collaborate with ENTs, pediatricians, OTs, SLPs, lactation consultants, and more to support long-term, sustainable results. We don’t chase symptoms — we solve them. If you’ve been dismissed, overwhelmed, or told “they’ll grow out of it,” this podcast is for you. If you're a provider who wants to treat differently — and make a lasting impact — this is for you, too. Our mission is simple: to help families breathe easier, sleep better, and live healthier. This podcast will show you how. New episodes drop regularly.

   Episode 54 -The Airway Connection: How Breathing Impacts Sleep, Growth, Behavior & Lifelong Health with Alicia Dyshon

   Could your child's sleep struggles, behavioral challenges, picky eating, crowded teeth, or difficulty focusing all be connected to one overlooked factor airway health? In this eye opening episode, Dr. Liz Turner, airway focused dentist and co-founder of Untethered Airway Health Center, explains how breathing and sleep impact nearly every aspect of a child's growth and development. Drawing from both her professional experience and personal journey as a mother, Dr. Turner shares how her son's early feeding challenges led her to uncover the powerful connection between oral function, jaw development, airway health, and long term wellness. The conversation explores why issues such as tongue ties, mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, speech concerns, feeding difficulties, and crowded teeth may be symptoms of a larger airway related problem. Dr. Turner also explains how jaw growth develops during infancy and childhood, why the first few years of life are so critical, and how early intervention can help support healthier breathing, better sleep, improved behavior, and stronger overall development. You'll learn the differences between nasal breathing and mouth breathing, how poor sleep can affect learning and emotional regulation, why snoring in children should never be ignored, and what signs parents can watch for as their children grow. Dr. Turner also discusses orthodontic development, palatal expansion, myofunctional therapy, oral habits, tooth decay, breastfeeding considerations, and the importance of building a collaborative healthcare team. Whether you're a parent searching for answers, a healthcare professional looking to better understand airway health, or someone interested in the connection between breathing and whole-body wellness, this episode offers practical insights and actionable takeaways.

   Episode 53 - What Your Pelvic Floor Is Trying To Tell You with Dr. Lauryn Beecher

   In this episode, Dr. Meggie sat down with Dr. Lauryn Beecher, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Pelvic Health & Wellness, for a fascinating conversation about how different parts of the body are more connected than we often realize. What do tongue ties, jaw tension, breathing issues, and pelvic floor dysfunction have in common? As it turns out, a lot. Dr. Beecher shares her expertise on how the body compensates for restrictions and dysfunction, and why symptoms like pelvic pain, leaking, constipation, headaches, chronic tension, and even difficulty exercising may be connected to underlying issues elsewhere in the body. Together, we explore the powerful role of fascia, breathing patterns, and muscle function, and discuss why addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms, can make such a difference in how we feel. We also talk about pelvic floor therapy for pregnancy and postpartum recovery, fertility, children's health, athletic performance, and everyday wellness. Whether you're dealing with chronic discomfort, navigating pregnancy, supporting your child's health, or simply curious about how the body works, this conversation offers practical insights and eye-opening connections that may change the way you think about your health. Join us as we dive into the relationship between oral health, breathing, movement, and pelvic wellness and discover why taking a whole-body approach can help you feel your best, from the inside out. https://www.pelvichealthandwellness.com/ (https://www.pelvichealthandwellness.com/) Learn more & get support: (https://untetheredairwayhealthcenter.com)https://untetheredairwayhealthcenter.com (https://untetheredairwayhealthcenter.com) Follow us for more: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/untetheredairway/ (https://www.instagram.com/untetheredairway/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/untetheredahc (https://www.facebook.com/untetheredahc) Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@untetheredairway (https://www.tiktok.com/@untetheredairway) Explore Our Courses Foundations of Airway Dentistry: https://theuntetheredway.com/foundations-course (https://theuntetheredway.com/foundations-course) Advanced Frenectomy & Surgical Training: https://theuntetheredway.com/frenectomy-course (https://theuntetheredway.com/frenectomy-course) Allied Health & Myofunctional Therapy Training: https://theuntetheredway.com/allied-providers (https://theuntetheredway.com/allied-providers) Subscribe, like, and share if this resonated with you, because when you breathe better, you live better.

   Episode 52 - The Real Cause Of Infant Reflux? Feeding Mechanics Explained

   Could your baby’s reflux actually be caused by feeding mechanics instead of stomach acid? In this episode of No One Told Me: The Airway Health Connection, Dr. Liz Turner explores the hidden connection between infant reflux, tongue ties, airway health, bottle feeding, shallow latch, and air swallowing. Many babies diagnosed with reflux may actually be struggling with inefficient feeding mechanics that cause excess air intake, poor suction, feeding frustration, gassiness, choking, frequent spit up, and sleep discomfort. Dr. Liz breaks down: • How infant swallowing mechanics work • The role of tongue function in feeding efficiency • Why tongue ties and lip ties matter • How babies compensate during feeding • Bottle flow, latch mechanics, and air intake • The connection between reflux and airway development • Why some babies improve after functional feeding support or tongue tie treatment This episode provides valuable insight for parents and healthcare professionals wanting to better understand infant feeding dysfunction and airway-centered care. Whether you’re dealing with colic symptoms, reflux concerns, feeding difficulties, or simply want to learn more about infant oral function, this episode offers a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind infant feeding and development. Listen now to discover why better feeding mechanics can lead to better breathing, better sleep, and a healthier future.
