Send us a text

This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of diving deep into the world of breathing, sleep apnea, and all things airway with the fabulous Dr. Kristen Geist. She's not just a dentist; she's a sleep and breathing guru who turned her own health battles into a mission to help others breathe and sleep better. Whether you snore, grind your teeth, or just feel tired all the time, this episode is your wake-up call to the wonders of airway health!
Special Offer:
Kristen has got a limited number of discovery calls up for grabs—mention you’re a podcast pal for a chance to snag one!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Are your breathing issues being missed because you're a woman? Learn the surprising reasons why!
• Snoring isn’t just annoying—it’s a major red flag for hidden airway problems.
• Think tongue posture doesn’t matter? It could be the secret to better sleep and breathing!
• Mold and allergens in your home might be silently wrecking your sleep quality—here’s how to spot the signs.
• Tired all the time, anxious, or grinding your teeth? Don’t ignore these warning signs of deeper health issues!

ABOUT GUEST:
Kristen has been practicing dentistry for 8 years, but during the last 5 she has been narrowing her focus to airway, sleep apnea, and adult laser tongue tie release. Several years ago she was struggling with exhaustion, lightheadedness, anxiety, and trouble breathing before she was properly sleep tested and diagnosed with something called upper airway resistance syndrome, which is on the spectrum of sleep apnea. Now, she works together with other providers to help those with sleep apnea, tongue ties, etc. feel their best. She lives in upstate NY with her husband, son, and 2 adorable rescue pups. She is excited to spread awareness about the issues that things like sleep apnea and tongue ties can cause in adults and what signs to look for to see if you should be screened.
