Dr. Mike T Nelson and wife Jodie talk with Zac about rate limiters on performance like palate issues, teeth movement, and function, as well as how to get a good sleep study (what to look for and what to ask for). We offer advice on what to do if you feel like you need to seek more information. We also discuss sleep apnea, upper airway resistance, snoring, grinding your teeth and ADHD; what these areas have in common? Many of these conditions can be attributed to problems in the upper airway, including tongue position, airway structure, and more.
