Are Tongue Ties Affecting Your Health?

What if better sleep, sharper focus, and a healthier life all started with something as simple and powerful as the way you breathe?

In today’s episode, Dr. Liz Turner, co-founder of the Untethered Airway Health Center, sits down with Autumn Henning, one of the most respected voices in oral function, tethered oral tissues, and myofunctional disorders. Autumn is uniquely credentialed as the first professional in the world to hold all three major certifications in oral function:
Speech-Language Pathologist
Certified Orofacial Myologist
International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant

This episode dives deep into the interconnected world of airway health, growth, sleep, oral function, and whole-body wellness. Autumn shares her journey from feeding specialist to multidisciplinary expert, revealing how early dysfunction shows up across ages—and even across generations. From infants struggling with feeding to adults battling chronic tension, fatigue, sleep issues, or orthodontic relapse, she breaks down why addressing the root cause matters more than ever.

Together, we explore:
-How airway health influences everything, from energy to emotional regulation
-The evolution and misconceptions surrounding tongue-tie and oral tethering
-Why dentists, SLPs, lactation consultants, OTs, and ENTs must work together
-What therapeutic readiness really looks like before a release procedure
How pre and post-release therapy mirrors athletic training for optimal outcomes
-Multi-generational patterns that impact airway growth and facial development
-Why collaborative, cross-disciplinary care leads to better, lasting results

Whether you're a parent seeking clarity, a provider deepening your airway knowledge, or someone searching for answers about sleep, breathing, or oral function, this conversation is rich with real-world insight, transparency, and compassionate expertise.

Because when you breathe better, you live better and no one should have to navigate this journey without guidance.
