Your HEALTH May Hinge On This One Underrated Muscle with Rachel Davis

Your HEALTH May Hinge On This One Underrated Muscle with Rachel Davis

In this episode I sit down with Rachael Davis, RDH and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist from R.A.D. Myofunctional Therapy, to dig into how oral health and breathing patterns go far beyond the dentist’s chair. We explore everything from tongue positioning and low tongue tone, to how breastfeeding and diet shape early oral development, and even how emotional stress shows up in our faces, mouths and posture.


Rachael shares powerful insights into daily practices you can use at home: why it matters where your tongue rests when you’re not swallowing, how nasal breathing can change your facial structure and airway over time, and how simple activities like singing or gentle body movement support deeper healing. Whether you’re working with open bite, mouth breathing, tongue thrust or post operative frenectomy care, you’ll come away with tools and understanding to support your own oral facial health journey.
