If youâre a parent struggling with bedwetting, youâve probably tried everythingâlimiting fluids, bedwetting alarms, medicationsâonly to see little to no improvement. But what if bedwetting isnât just a bladder issue? What if the root cause is actually hidden in how your child sleeps?
In this episode, we dive into the surprising connection between bedwetting, sleep-disordered breathing, and ADHD-like symptoms. Many children who struggle with nighttime accidents are actually dealing with an underlying sleep issue, often caused by mouth breathing, airway obstructions, and poor tongue posture. When a child breathes through their mouth instead of their nose, their body stays in a fight-or-flight state all night long, leading to poor quality sleep and miscommunication between the brain and the bladder.
We explore real-life experiences, including my own journey as a mom who spent years searching for answers. I share how addressing my daughterâs airway health and breathing patterns completely stopped her bedwettingâafter years of frustration and failed treatments.
Key Takeaways:
-Bedwetting is often a symptom of sleep-disordered breathingânot just a bladder control issue.
-Mouth breathing and sleep disturbances can keep the nervous system in survival mode, triggering involuntary urination.
-Many kids diagnosed with ADHD may actually have undiagnosed sleep issues, as sleep deprivation can mimic attention and behavioral disorders.
-If your child experiences snoring, restless sleep, night terrors, chronic fatigue, or difficulty waking up, their breathing could be the root cause.
-Myofunctional therapy, airway-focused orthodontics, and proper nasal breathing can be life-changing solutions for kids struggling with sleep-related issues.
If your child is still wetting the bed past age six, donât just wait for them to âoutgrow it.â Look at their sleep and breathing patternsâbecause when we change the way a child breathes, we change the way they sleep, and ultimately, their entire life.

Hey everyone! In todayâs episode of The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast, we had an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Sheila Limbi Oben, a powerhouse in women's health. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and a certified functional blood work specialist, sheâs on a mission to empower women to take control of their healthâespecially during the often-overlooked phase of perimenopause.
Key Takeaways from Our Conversation:
- If Youâre Not Testing, Youâre Guessing: Dr. Sheila's personal health journey led her to uncover hidden imbalances in her bodyâimbalances that traditional lab tests overlooked. She realized that true wellness isnât just about treating symptoms but about getting to the root cause through comprehensive testing.
- Youâre NOT CrazyâYou Just Need Answers: Many women in their late 30s and 40s experience mood swings, fatigue, irregular cycles, brain fog, and more. Too often, weâre dismissed with âitâs just stressâ or âyouâre fine.â Dr. Sheila emphasizes that these are real issues, and the data in our bloodwork can provide the answers we need.
- Knowledge is PowerâSo Own It: From adrenal dysfunction to hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and even toxic exposures, everything in our body is connected. Understanding these elements can help us feel our best and navigate perimenopause with confidence instead of confusion.
- Invest in Your Health Now or Pay for Illness Later: Insurance wonât always cover the tests that truly matter. But as Dr. Sheila puts it, itâs cheaper to invest in your health now than to be forced to invest in your illness later.
- Your Body is TalkingâListen to It: Whether itâs unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, or emotional shifts, your body is sending signals. The sooner we tune in and take action, the better we can optimize our well-being.
Dr. Sheila is not only a wealth of knowledge, but sheâs also a beacon of hope for women who feel like theyâve been left in the dark about their health. If youâre tired of guessing and want to take charge of your wellness journey, I highly recommend connecting with her.

Welcome back to The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of molecular hydrogen therapy with Greg, The Hydrogen Manâa trailblazer in the field, a researcher, and an advocate for hydrogen-infused water as a game-changer for health. If youâve ever wondered how something as simple as water could be the missing piece in your wellness journey, this episode is a must-listen!
Gregâs story is nothing short of remarkable. Having worked in the medical field for over two decades, he had an insiderâs view of Western medicineâits strengths, its limitations, and the unfortunate reality that it often focuses on symptom management rather than root-cause healing.
But when Greg himself fell severely ill, facing life-threatening heart conditions, chronic pain, autoimmune issues, tumors, and debilitating inflammation, he quickly realized that traditional medicine didnât have the answers he needed. At his lowest point, bedridden and unable to function, he turned to prayer and research, promising that if he found a path to healing, he would share it with the world.
Thatâs when he stumbled upon hydrogen water.
If youâve been searching for real answers about hydration, health, and healing, this is your sign. Hydrogen water could be the missing link in your wellness journey. Start smallâclean up your water first, then consider adding hydrogen therapy.
Gregâs mission is to spread this knowledge freely because he knows how much it can change lives. He encourages listeners to share this information, educate themselves, and challenge the misinformation surrounding health and hydration.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Richard Marn â a physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, and co-founder of Blue Pacific Medical Simulation. We dove deep into a crucial but often overlooked topic: emergency preparedness in dental and oral surgery offices.
Let me tell you, the gaps in readiness are shocking. Many dental teams assume they're prepared because theyâve taken a BLS course or have an emergency kit somewhere in the office. But guess what? Expired meds, missing portable oxygen, and teams that freeze in critical moments are far too common.
Dr. Marn didnât just point out the problems â he shared real, practical solutions. His focus is on building teamwork, boosting confidence, and creating solid habits that save lives. He broke it down into four key pillars:
-Infrastructure: Is your emergency kit up to date? Does your team even know how to use it?
-Competency: Are your skills sharp, or are you relying on a BLS certificate from two years ago?
-Culture: Does your team talk about emergency readiness, or is it âout of sight, out of mindâ?
-Habits: Regular team huddles, mock drills, and clear roles make all the difference when seconds matter.
As Dr. Marn puts it, "When emotions go up, intelligence goes down." Thatâs why practice is key â it's how you stay calm and act fast in real emergencies.
If youâre a dental professional (or know someone who is), I highly recommend checking out Dr. Marnâs free online scorecard to assess your officeâs readiness: emergency.scoreapp.com
And if youâd like to connect with Dr. Marn directly or explore his hands-on workshops, visit his website at bpmedsim.com
We all hope emergencies never happen â but if they do, wouldnât you rather be confident and ready? Let's make sure your team isnât just hoping for the best â let's prepare for it.

This episode delves into the common issue of bedwetting in children. The discussion highlights how the traditional medical approach of medication and alarms often fails to address the root cause of the problem, and emphasizes the importance of looking beyond the bladder and exploring alternative solutions that target the underlying issues, such as sleep, breathing, and the nervous system.
Key Takeaways:
-Bedwetting is often a symptom of deeper issues like sleep deprivation, mouth breathing, and nervous system imbalances, rather than just a bladder problem.
-Medications that reduce urine production can have significant side effects and do not address the root cause.
-Sleep deprivation and disrupted sleep patterns can exacerbate bedwetting and lead to other behavioral and cognitive issues.
-Alternative treatments, such as chiropractic adjustments, myofunctional therapy, and addressing airway issues, can be more effective in addressing the underlying causes of bedwetting.
-Identifying and addressing red flags like mouth breathing, dark circles under the eyes, and behavioral problems can help uncover the root cause of bedwetting.
-Parents and teachers play a crucial role in recognizing and addressing these issues early on, before they become more severe.

Get ready to learn how bedwetting isn't just about the bladder, but about the brain, breathing, and oral function. This episode could be a game-changer for your child.
Key Takeaways:
-Bedwetting is not just a bladder issue, but is connected to the brain, breathing, and oral function
-Typical treatments like fluid restriction, alarms, and medications often fail to address the root cause
-Mouth breathing at night can keep the body in "fight or flight" mode, disrupting sleep and hormone regulation
-Oral issues like tongue ties, jaw development, and crowded teeth can contribute to breathing and sleep problems
-Addressing the root causes through methods like nasal breathing, myofunctional therapy, and airway evaluation can resolve bedwetting

In today's episode, we will be talking more about a topic that affects millions of Americans - sleep apnea.
Now, I know sleep apnea and CPAP machines can be a real pain, both literally and figuratively. Over millions of people in the US suffer from sleep apnea, and the CPAP is considered the gold standard treatment. But the truth is, a lot of folks just can't seem to get comfortable with those bulky machines, and end up abandoning them altogether.
You're going to hear some really valuable information about making the CPAP work for you, addressing common issues like mouth breathing, and exploring alternative treatments. Most importantly, I hope this episode empowers you to take control of your sleep and your health.
Key Takeaways:
-Over 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and the CPAP machine is the primary treatment, but compliance is a major issue.
-CPAP machines can be uncomfortable, inefficient, and lead to issues like mouth breathing and dry mouth if not properly fitted and maintained.
-Proper mask fit, cleaning, and accessories like mouth taping can significantly improve CPAP effectiveness and compliance.
-Mouth breathing during CPAP use can lead to health problems like GERD, acid reflux, and dehydration.
-Sleep apnea is linked to a range of serious health issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke, making proper treatment crucial.
-Alternative treatments like mandibular advancement devices (MADs) may be an option for some but come with their own set of considerations.
-Seeking help from specialists like myofunctional therapists, airway dentists, and ENTs can be key to addressing the root causes of sleep apnea.
