Welcome to another episode of Healthy Bite. We previously spoke with Dr Mike Mew about preventing crooked teeth and their effects on breathing, sleeping, posture, etc.
In this episode, Mike's father, Professor John Mew, a legend in the field of dentistry, particularly orthodontics, joins us. Join me as we explore the relationship between your mouth, orthotropics, and mewing as the secret to healthy breathing and sleeping.
Dr Mike Mew is a lecturer and a lead clinician at the London School of Facial Orthotropics. Mike is causing a revolution in health care and is pushing for a debate on what is causing crooked teeth in not just the orthodontic profession but the health profession as well.
Mike uses the Orthotropic System to address the underlying conditions that lead to crooked teeth and affect sleep apnea, snoring, and jaw problems. He's researching to improve these systems using modern technology and innovative applications. His vision is a fully integrated bio-feedback system that assists children and adults in improving their health. In addition, Mike aims to change a section of modern medicine by making it evidence-based.

Have you ever had trouble getting a good night's sleep? Do you often wake up feeling tired? Well, that’s precisely what we’re going to tackle in this episode.
Our guest today is Dr Steven Park and we will be exploring the subject of sleep. Steven is a published author of the book which I have read over 10 years ago, Sleep Interrupted. He is also a speaker, blogger, and former surgeon who helps people who are always sick or tired to once again reclaim their health and energy.
His passion is to identify and empower people to overcome sleep-related breathing problems, which most people don’t realize is the real reason for many of their common medical ailments.
Have you ever heard of the term “loop gain?” How about “eupnea?” Well, here are just some of the interesting topics we will discuss today. There’s so much to learn about breathing. This week we welcomed a returning guest, Patrick McKeown. He is a wealth of information. His book, The Breathing Cure, is definitely a must-read as well. Join me as we review some of the wonderful things we talked about during our conversation.
Patrick McKeown is the Founder and Director of the Training and Education Institute, the Buteyko Clinic International. Throughout his childhood and into his twenties, he suffered from severe asthma, breathing problems, poor concentration and disturbed sleep but Buteyko Breathing Technique changed this.
“If you ask your patients the right questions, then often they’ll not only tell you what’s wrong with them, but they’ll sometimes even tell you how to fix it. If you’re listening carefully enough.”
I had a mentor 30 years ago, Dr Janet Travell, who said this to me and I still remember and value it to this very day.
This week I had the absolute pleasure of talking with a sleep physician, Dr Dave McCarty. Today we are further highlighting the topic of sleep which is a big and important topic and is always worth revisiting. Join me as we speak about the 4 key questions to ask your patients, sleep-disordered breathing conditions, micropore tape, and many more.
Dr Dave McCarty attended medical school at Duke University and completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine in Boston at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dave began his career practising primary health care, but after a handful of years in practise, he followed in his own words, "My own white rabbit into a whole new world called sleep medicine". Enjoy!
This week, we continue to chat without integrative doctors and specialists. Our guest this week was ENT Specialist Dr Jim Bartley. We discussed various subjects like chronic pain management, the three muscles which give the impression of sinus-type headaches, the power of breath, “rest and digest,” nitric oxide, the positive effects of humming, and tinnitus.
Every time I speak to somebody about breathing, I learn something new. And as the world we live in becomes increasingly more complex, the theme of this podcast is that many of the solutions to enjoying good health are remarkably simple, cheap, accessible, and, most importantly, effective. And what can be more accessible than focussing on breathing?
Dr Jim Bartley is an ear nose and throat specialist with more than 30 years of experience. He is an honorary associate professor in surgery at the University of Auckland. He’s based in New Zealand. He’s written over 60 articles in refereed journals, he’s contributed chapters to 17 books and wrote two books himself. “Breathing Matters” and “Healing Headaches”.
Why do we breathe? How often? How much? Should we breathe through our nose or mouth? How important is this?
Hello and welcome to another Healthy Bite, although this week it is also an Unstress episode. I spoke to Dr Theodore Belfor, a true pioneer in the dental world about epigenetic orthodontics and the role of breath.
Today, I wanted to stitch in and replay for you a very important episode that we did with James Nestor, who authored the book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. James’ personal story was the case study that Theodore shared with us. I hope you enjoy this week’s episode.
Do you or any of your family have asthma? Well if so, this week’s episode is for you. This week on the Unstress, I spoke to Roger Price. He brought to mind two terms, which I will discuss in this Healthy Bite.
Come learn more about asthma, why nasal breathing is important, and how our management structure is a great economic model but a poor health model.
Why is breathing through the nose so important? What is the difference between bronchoconstriction and asthma? Today, Roger Price, joins us.
Roger Price is a Functional Medicine and Integrative Health Educator. He has more than 60 years of experience in multiple areas of the health profession, giving him a broad and well-rounded view of the entire field.
Widely regarded as ‘The Father of Airway in Dentistry’, having been the first person to introduce this concept more than 20 years ago, he is credited with being the mentor of many of the more well-known and reputable individuals in today’s world of Dental Sleep Medicine.
In this fascinating conversation, we discuss breathing well; the importance of nose breathing, carbon dioxide levels and the role of nitric oxide.
