When was the last time you really chewed your food? In this episode, I explore one of the most overlooked habits affecting oral health, airway development, digestion, posture, and even sleep quality: chewing. We’ve made food softer and easier to consume, but in the process, we may have lost an essential function our bodies were designed to perform. I share what I’ve learned through my own family’s experience, why bilateral chewing matters, how jaw development impacts the airway, and why a simple 10-minute daily habit could have a ripple effect on overall health. We’ll also talk about practical ways to support healthy chewing patterns in children and adults, including the role of the MyoMunchie and myofunctional therapy. If this episode gave you a new perspective on something as simple as chewing, I’d love for you to share it with a friend or family member.
