Dalanna Hanson, Kansas’ first certified orofacial myologist and founder of Myofunctional Therapy of Kansas. Since 2014, she’s been helping kids and adults breathe better, sleep deeper, and live healthier—without relying on band-aids like braces, CPAP machines, or endless night guards.

We dive into:

• Why mouth breathing isn’t “just normal”—and how it affects your jaw, sleep, and attention.

• The surprising link between tongue ties, ADHD-like symptoms, and restless sleep.

• How myofunctional therapy acts like “physical therapy for the mouth” to improve airway health.

• Practical tests you can try at home to spot hidden dysfunctions.

• Why mainstream medicine often overlooks these problems—and what you can do instead.

If you or your child struggles with grinding teeth, snoring, speech issues, or sleep problems, this conversation might change everything you thought you knew about oral health.

✨ Why painful intimacy should never be ignored
✨ How pelvic floor therapy goes way beyond Kegels
✨ The reason your OB/GYN might miss what’s really going on
✨ Surprising times this shows up: first intimacy, postpartum, menopause
✨ The powerful link between stress, trauma, and your body
✨ What healing and hope actually look like

Heel pain keeping you off your feet? You’ve probably heard “it’s plantar fasciitis,” but here’s the truth: only about 5% of people who think they have plantar fasciitis actually do.

In this episode, Dr. Clayton Derr sits down with Dr. Allison Bullinger, physical therapist and running specialist, to unpack the most common myths about heel pain. From expensive orthotics and steroid injections to stretches you found on Google, we break down what really works—and what doesn’t.

👉 You’ll learn:

• Why most heel pain isn’t plantar fasciitis

• The surprising role weakness plays in your pain

• Why steroids, ice bottles, and rolling are just short-term fixes

• The simple strengthening exercise you can start today to relieve pain

If you’ve been limping, stretching, and Googling for answers without relief, this episode will give you clarity and a plan to finally move forward—without unnecessary meds, injections, or surgeries.
