Sleeping with my mouth taped shut has changed the way that I sleep, my oral health, and how I breathe. I discuss how and why I started doing this in the first place, what the negative impacts are of mouth-breathing as opposed to the positive impacts of nose-breathing, what mouth-breathing (especially the Buteyko method) even is and how to do it, and so much more!

I really appreciate your time tuning in to this.
