The Body Nerd Show
When it comes to ongoing neck pain and TMJ dysfunction, you probably haven’t considered your tongue. But did you know your tongue is actually 8 muscles? Some of which connect to all those tight and grouchy places around your head and neck?

So when it comes to neck and jaw pain - we have to talk about the tongue.

The inspiration for today’s episode came from a message I received after episode 148 about this individual's experience with a tongue tie (aka ankyloglossia) and better breathing mechanics

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

  • The relationship between your tongue, neck pain and TMJ issues
  • Why more adults are getting frenectomies
  • What the research has to say about tongue ties, neck pain and snoring

162 Cellulite

I don’t know about you, but I’m very familiar with how media, fashion, advertising, and the fitness industry makes us feel crappy about our capable, amazing bodies.

Enter cellulite.

And you’d think that for as much money is spent on the treatment of cellulite, there would be more research on it. Yet the literature, including peer-reviewed research, is a little wild to wade through - and there is more information on treatment than there is on the cause.
