About this Episode

Karese Laguerre’s life changed after a trip to the pediatric dentist. There, she learned the way her children had been sleeping was affecting every aspect of their wellness. Her children struggled for years with ADHD, night terrors, and ear infections. At the dentist, Karese uncovered a process called myofunctional therapy that improved her four children’s health, mood, and behavior. Inspired by what she learned, Karese went to work for that dentist and is now a Registered Dental Hygienist, Orofacial Myologist, and The Myo Spot founder, a leader in the quest for myofunctional therapy awareness and public education.
