As the creator of the Laynee Restorative Breathing Method, Dr. Laynee brings groundbreaking insight into how cranial nerve function directly impacts breathing, sleep, posture, and even digestion.In this webinar, you’ll learn:Why the cranial nerves are often overlooked in traditional medical exams—and why that needs to change.How cranial nerve dysfunction can contribute to issues with breathing, airway stability, and autonomic regulation.A closer look at Dr. Laynee’s Cranial Facial Integration System and how it supports optimal sleep and posture of the body.Practical ways to integrate this knowledge into your clinical practice to improve outcomes for patients with head, neck, and breathing challenges.This is a must-attend session for physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, myofunctional therapists, dentists, physicians, and all healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the cranial-autonomic connection and elevate their patient care.

This episode of The Breathing Lab—featuring a powerful conversation with Dr. Silke Heine, PhD, expert in Holistic Nutrition and founder of Simplify Holistic Nutrition Consulting.Dr. Heine has helped countless individuals uncover hidden food sensitivities using advanced diagnostics like the FIT 176 Food Inflammation Test. She’s also played a pivotal role in my own healing journey.For years, I battled unexplained bloating, congestion, and discomfort—without real answers. It wasn’t until I began working with Dr. Heine and discovered my own unique inflammatory triggers (lime and dairy, surprisingly!) that everything started to shift.In this episode, we will dive into:What chronic inflammation actually looks like and how food plays a sneaky roleThe often overlooked difference between food allergies and sensitivities How gut issues like Candida and leaky gut often go missedThe essential link between digestion, breathing, diet, andHow the FIT test works as a truly personalized roadmap for better healthWhether you’re dealing with digestive discomfort, brain fog, chronic congestion—or simply want to feel your best—this episode is packed with insights that could change the way you eat and breathe.P.S.

At the Hobson Institute, we’re dedicated to exploring holistic approaches to health, with a strong focus on how breathing impacts overall well-being. In a recent Breathing Lab session, I had the pleasure of interviewing Patrick McKeown—a leading expert on breathing techniques and the Buteyko Breathing Method. Patrick shared with our listeners how simple changes in the way we breathe can help manage conditions such as asthma, sleep disorders, and anxiety.Key Highlights from Our Podcast DiscussionUnderstanding the Unified AirwayWe explored the concept of the unified airway—the idea that the entire respiratory system is interconnected. This understanding is essential when addressing sleep and breathing issues. For example, mouth breathing increases airway resistance, which can impair sleep quality and affect overall health.Supporting Children with Anxiety and Breathing IssuesChildren’s breathing habits can have a profound effect on their mental and emotional health. We discussed the importance of assessing children for both anxiety and dysfunctional breathing patterns. Gentle nasal breathing techniques, a calm and reassuring clinical environment, and tools like MyoTape can support better sleep and reduce anxiety by encouraging nasal breathing.The Benefits of Mouth TapingMouth taping can help promote nasal breathing during sleep. Breathing Techniques to Manage AnxietyWe also discussed how specific breathing practices—such as reducing breathing volume and encouraging nasal breathing—can help regulate carbon dioxide levels, promoting calm and relaxation. While results may take time, consistency and patience with these techniques can lead to meaningful improvements in anxiety symptoms.How to Learn More For Healthcare ProfessionalsIf you're a clinician interested in integrating these techniques into your practice, consider taking my Intro to Airway Evaluation and Treatment Course. In this course, I share how I’ve combined the Buteyko Breathing Method with myofunctional therapy, cranial nerve integration, and physical therapy into a comprehensive approach.

In 1992 he founded what would become the University of St. Augustine.Dr. Paris has founded numerous private practices and specialty clinics, two journals, acquired a hotel and turned it into a health resort and founded the University of St. Augustine now with five campuses nationwide. An innovator in practice and education he plans to lay bare his experiences and how he saw and grasped opportunities to build a successful career. While his specialty has been in manual and manipulative therapy, he was the founder and first president of the Orthopaedic Section as well as a founding member of Women’s Health Section now Pelvic Health. His experiences he wishes to share with us in order that we may likewise see and take advantage of opportunities to grow and develop along with the profession.Gifted TeacherAccording to Erland Pettman, PT, MCSP, MCPA, FCAMT, COMT in their published article, A History of Manipulative Therapy, “some (future) prestigious names, e.g., Brian Mulligan, would credit Paris for introducing them to manual therapy. However, from the author’s perspective, Paris’s role in OMT was more significant than that of an accomplished teacher. As a gifted orator, he became the heart and voice of a rapidly emerging physical therapy specialization. His achievements in athletics, education, and political organization will be an inspiration to all manual therapists and a reminder that if you put enough energy into a project, it will succeed.”

In this episode, Dr. Jenny Hobson and Dr. Martha Cortes DDS explain the interrelation between airway centric physical therapy and airway centric dentistry with several case studies,highlighting the complex oral-systemic connection. Dr. Cortes shares how she treats many oral symptoms, such as crowded teeth including examining the patients nasal function with Rhinomanometry. In most cases, she finds thedysfunctional breathing pattern is often the catalyst to the oral problem. Once Dr. Cortes has fixed the issue, Dr. Jenny stresses the importance of myofunctional therapy, to support the ‘architecture’ that Dr. Cortes has created. Otherwise, patients could experience additional complications.

In this episode  Dr. Jenny Hobson will be interviewing Dr. Karen Parker Davidson, RN, an expert in rhinomanometry. Rhinomanometry measures air pressure and the rate of airflow during breathing. These measurements are then used to calculate nasal airway resistance which is important in the field of airway treatment.  So many of us don’t realize that our noses are actually the problem, and we need to work on improving the ability to breathe out of it.  Many of us have a bend in our nose called a deviated septum which narrows our nasal passages.  Slowly but surely, this causes us to breathe through our mouth and the beginning of an airway compromise.  Learn about the history of rhinomanometry, what normal values look like and where to find this testing.  Dr. Davidson will review the key output parameters and what the data means.BIO: Dr. Karen Davidson has held many positions in the medical device industry for more than 25 years, specifically in the ENT and Sleep markets, in addition to more than 30 years of clinical experience including service as a Flight Nurse in the United States Air Force Reserves and committee member for various Otolaryngology meetings.
