Episode 65 - Why is the Tongue Important?

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. Kate

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the importance of the tongue. I asked on our Just Breathe site, “Where do you typically place your tongue?” People were pretty interested in what does that have to do with anything and what is it connected to.

Actually, where our tongue goes, our body tends to follow. That is why the placement of your tongue is important and I’ll let you understand more about this in this podcast

In this episode we discuss:

[00:36] Introduction to the topic

[1:12] Where our tongue goes, our body tends to follow

[2:13] How the orofacial opening is connected to the pelvic floor

[5:46] The tongue in connection with the lymph

[7:14] The tongue and the rest and restore mode

[8:57] The tongue and nose breathing

[12:56] Conclusion

If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I’d be happy to do another podcast about your questions. Also, if you want me to talk about something specific, let me know!
