Did you know that stress and airway health are deeply interconnected; both physiologically and behaviorally? 👀

1. Stress Can Alter Breathing Patterns: Stress often leads to shallow, rapid chest breathing or even mouth breathing, especially during fight-or-flight responses.
This bypasses the nose, reducing nitric oxide intake (which helps open the airways) and causing over-breathing or hyperventilation.

2. Airway Disorders Can Increase Stress: If someone has an obstructed airway (e.g. due to nasal congestion, tongue tie, sleep apnea), their body works harder to breathe, especially during sleep. This leads to poor oxygenation, fragmented sleep, and chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system, your body’s stress mode.

3. Sleep-Related Airway Problems Worsen Stress: Conditions like sleep apnea disrupt deep sleep, leading to daytime fatigue, irritability, and anxiety. The lack of restorative sleep elevates cortisol levels and reduces your ability to manage stress.

We don’t expect to transform our health with one workout or one week of clean eating, so why do we treat sleep differently?

Quality sleep isn’t a quick fix. Like nutrition or exercise, it’s a lifelong commitment that evolves with you. It’s time we start treating sleep like the pillar of health it truly is.

Most nightguards and TMJ splints are designed to protect teeth, not improve airway health. They sit passively in the mouth and don’t address the root cause. In fact, they can sometimes make things worse. Clenching and grinding are often signs of an underlying airway issue, and it’s important to dig deeper to find real answers.

Mouth breathing can fly under the radar.

Many people do it without even realizing it—it’s become their norm. But there are telltale signs: dry lips, a recessed jaw, frequent sore throats, and more. If this sounds familiar, it might be time to take a closer look at how you breathe.

The type of “critters” we have are linked to the way we breathe and our over all health. We want the good kind, not the bad.
