13: Are my children already “broken”?

In Episode 13 of The MyoHacker Podcast, one mom asks Karindy why her oldest child can mouth-breathe without dysregulation, while her younger children - who primarily breathe through their noses - are becoming increasingly dysregulated. Karindy explores the differences between surgical and non-surgical options for tonsils and adenoids, offering valuable insights to help parents make informed decisions. The discussion includes the impact of environmental factors on airway development, strategies to support detoxification, and ways parents can harness their creative strengths to stay resilient and curious while navigating family health challenges.
