Healthy Nose, Healthy Breathing

I talk a lot about proper facial development to ensure adequate breathing. This post covers the subject and links to most of my other posts about achieving proper craniofacial respiratory complex growth.

This needs to change because, as you will see in this post, it is one of the major contributing factors for many, if not most, of our modern health problems.
