  • Episode 184: The Hidden Link Between Sleep, Breathing & Behavior – A Conversation with Dr. Leslie Pasco
    Could the root of your child’s sleep struggles be tied to something deeper, like oral function or how they breathe? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Leslie Pasco, founder of MyoWway Centers, to unpack the surprising connection between airway health, myofunctional therapy, and pediatric sleep. As a seasoned dentist, entrepreneur, and airway health advocate, Dr. Pasco brings a unique, whole-child perspective to how functional oral development plays a critical role in sleep quality, behavior, and even long-term wellness. We explore what most parents (and even some providers) are missing when it comes to mouth breathing, tongue ties, and sleep-disordered breathing, and what you can do about it. Whether you’re a parent navigating chronic sleep disruptions, an educator noticing daytime behavioral challenges, or a provider looking to better understand root-cause pediatric care, this conversation is full of insight, validation, and hope. Episode Highlights: What myofunctional therapy is—and why it matters in childhood development The connection between oral function and sleep, mood, and attention Early signs of airway issues in infants and toddlers Why mouth breathing and tongue posture are more than cosmetic concerns Resources:  MyoWay Center for Kids: https://www.myowaycenters.com/ Follow in Instagram here
