How a Tongue Tie May be Behind Your Chronic Health Problems

with podcast guest

Dr. Michael Geis

share

Dr. Michael Geis is a traditional Osteopathic Physician specializing in Neuromuscular Medicine (NMM) and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). Dr. Geis’ residency training sets him apart from many other practitioners, and his private practice focuses on treating complex chronic pain, musculoskeletal and sports-related injuries, with a specific practice focus on sleep-disordered breathing, airway, and dental health.

Dr. Geis is my osteopathic physician, and I’ve been working with him in conjunction with a dentist and myofunctional therapist as I’ve gone through my whole tongue and lip tie journey. I wanted to bring him on the podcast to clear up all the misinformation floating around about oral restrictions.

In this episode, we talk about how much oral ties impact our overall health, his experience with having a tie and his children having ties, what he’s noticed as an osteopath with some patients not getting better, what to look for when you’re choosing a support team, how to prepare properly before a release surgery, and so much more. I hope you enjoy the episode!

A Nutrisense CGM is an incredible way to monitor your blood sugar levels in real-time and their app helps you see exactly how your diet and lifestyle specifically affect your blood sugar. I recently tried a Nutrisense CGM and it was a game-changer. It was amazing to see how my meals and specific foods were affecting me positively or negatively. There was a whole lot of experimentation while using it to see what worked best for me and some foods were real shockers. Now you can get a Nutrisense CGM and take $25 off your first month of service. This includes two CGMs to be used for two weeks each, the app, and a month of free dietitian support. That support is invaluable and the best part of the service.
