Why mouth breathing can be damaging to your health and what to do about it.
Updated: Jan 3, 2024
In this episode of the MOOM Wellness podcast I talk with Perrin White, founder of Breathe well be well.
We talk all about the importance of nasal breathing. My curiosity for this topic stems from the book, Breath, by James Nestor. This book is so eye opening, it explains how over time, humans have evolved to having smaller noses and mouths which can be so harmful to our overall health and longevity.
Perrin White, who offers, functional breath work, meditation, yoga, speech and myofunctional therapy, is a wealth of knowledge about this topic. She has been on her own path to discovery when it comes to mouth breathing. There are ways to switch from mouth breathing to nasal breathing but it will take time and patience.
There is lots of research out now about how mouth breathing can correlate to all kinds of health problems even in children. Things like ADHD, bed wetting, snoring and anxiety, depression. Even tongue ties in babies can eventually lead them to breathing incorrectly.
If you or someone you know has any of the above, this episode is one you will want to listen to as well as I encourage you to read the book by James Nestor. I've linked it above!
