In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin dives deep into the non-negotiable link between how a child breathes and how they eat. This conversation provides the essential clinical \"missing link\" for pediatric therapy: The Airway.
Hallie challenges the idea that mouth breathing is \"just a habit,\" reframing it as a structural adaptation that can stall even the best feeding therapy plans. If you’ve ever had a patient hit a plateau or show signs of \"feeding fatigue,\" this episode will show you why you must look at the nose and the airway before you can fix the plate.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:
KEY TAKEAWAYS & SOUND BITES
\"Mouth breathing is not just a habit. It is an adaptation. We have to ask: What is blocking nasal breathing?\"
\"Airway trumps everything. If the body is fighting for air, it will never prioritize the complex mechanics of feeding.\"
