Untethered Airway Health
Podcast Description
Welcome to the Untethered Airway Health podcast — where modern dentistry meets whole-body wellness. Hosted by Dr. Liz Turner and Dr. Meggie Graham, airway-centered dentists and moms behind the Untethered Airway Health Center, this podcast is your new favorite space to explore how breathing better changes everything.
We created this show to educate and empower families, providers, and anyone who’s ever felt like something’s “off” — whether it’s your child’s restless sleep, picky eating, chronic congestion, or your own ongoing fatigue and reliance on sleep aids. The answer may lie in your airway. And the good news? There’s a path forward.
🎙 Why tune in?
Because airway health is about more than teeth or snoring. It’s the root of sleep, behavior, feeding, focus, growth, and quality of life — from infancy through adulthood. And while these issues are common, they’re not normal. They’re treatable.
We believe in root-cause, research-backed care — without overwhelm. We collaborate with ENTs, pediatricians, OTs, SLPs, lactation consultants, and more to support long-term, sustainable results. We don’t chase symptoms — we solve them.
If you’ve been dismissed, overwhelmed, or told “they’ll grow out of it,” this podcast is for you.
If you're a provider who wants to treat differently — and make a lasting impact — this is for you, too.
Our mission is simple: to help families breathe easier, sleep better, and live healthier.
This podcast will show you how.

Could your child’s sleep struggles, behavioral challenges, picky eating, crowded teeth, or difficulty focusing all be connected to one overlooked factor airway health?
In this eye opening episode, Dr. Liz Turner, airway focused dentist and co-founder of Untethered Airway Health Center, explains how breathing and sleep impact nearly every aspect of a child’s growth and development. Drawing from both her professional experience and personal journey as a mother, Dr. Turner shares how her son’s early feeding challenges led her to uncover the powerful connection between oral function, jaw development, airway health, and long term wellness.
The conversation explores why issues such as tongue ties, mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, speech concerns, feeding difficulties, and crowded teeth may be symptoms of a larger airway related problem. Dr. Turner also explains how jaw growth develops during infancy and childhood, why the first few years of life are so critical, and how early intervention can help support healthier breathing, better sleep, improved behavior, and stronger overall development.
You’ll learn the differences between nasal breathing and mouth breathing, how poor sleep can affect learning and emotional regulation, why snoring in children should never be ignored, and what signs parents can watch for as their children grow. Dr. Turner also discusses orthodontic development, palatal expansion, myofunctional therapy, oral habits, tooth decay, breastfeeding considerations, and the importance of building a collaborative healthcare team.
Whether you’re a parent searching for answers, a healthcare professional looking to better understand airway health, or someone interested in the connection between breathing and whole-body wellness, this episode offers practical insights and actionable takeaways.
