How the Tongue Affects the Nervous System & Why This Matters for Your Kids

In this clip from my Patient Education Series, I talk about how the tongue plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize. 👅

It’s one muscle connected by five nerves—deeply linked to your neck, shoulders, and nervous system. When the tongue rests low, it can affect your breathing, posture, and even how your body manages stress.

Anxiety—often amplified by social media and constant pressure—changes how we breathe. Shallow, rapid breaths keep the nervous system in survival mode. But when you deepen your breath and slow your exhale, you signal safety to the brain. It can’t tell the difference between anxious thoughts and being chased by a tiger—until you teach it to.
