71. From First Breaths to First Words: Oral Restrictions, Airway Health, and Team-Based Pediatric Care with Dr. Erick Galindo
Manage episode 483840843 series 3568469
What if the most overlooked aspect of your child's health is something they do 20,000 times a day? In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Eric Galindo, a pediatrician with nearly two decades of experience, we explore the profound connection between breathing, oral function, and overall development in children.
Dr. Galindo shares his remarkable shift from traditional medicine's "band-aid approach" to a comprehensive understanding of how restricted airways impact everything from colic to sleep disturbances. With striking honesty, he admits, "When a pediatrician says 'it's normal,' they might really mean 'I don't know.'" This candid insight sets the tone for a discussion that connects seemingly unrelated childhood issues to their common root: compromised breathing.
