Summary
In Episode #10 of The Myohacker Podcast, Speech Therapist Karindy Ong interviews Occupational Therapist Nat Udwin about the critical role of sensory integration in feeding therapy for children. They explore the importance of understanding the sensory system, the impact of sensory stimulation and play in feeding therapy, and strategies for navigating transitions for children with sensory needs. Nat shares insights on when & how to seek professional help, the connection between primitive reflexes and child development, and the importance of real-life experiences for setting a foundation of sensory motor development in children. Nat explains why a tongue tie release without addressing reflexes or tension in the body will be less than beneficial for the child and the family, and why working from the periphery to the midline is beneficial for neural organization. If you are wondering why crossing midline is a big deal or why being ambidextrous may be holding back your child in the long run, this episode is for you. The conversation emphasizes the need for parents to trust their instincts and shares how parents can ask questions to better support their children's health and development.

Welcome to The Myohacker Podcast. I am your host, Karindy Ong. I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist specialized in myofunctional therapy and the mom of two who has learned through clinical and personal experience how to get clear as we navigate decisions related to airway health. I am on a mission to educate families without the overwhelm so that our children can grow, eat, breathe, and thrive.
Join me each week as we explore the crucial connection between how we breathe, swallow, eat, speak and sleep. We will discuss how these functions affect us holistically and discuss the why and the how of airway challenges. From tongue ties and tongue thrust, we unpack questions from parents to clarify what a whole-body approach to treatment and wellness means. Myofunctional therapy isnât just about correcting a tongue tie; itâs about restoring balance and function to the body.
Together we will discuss:
-How airway issues like mouth breathing can affect our health
-At-home strategies to support airway tone and development
-How myofunctional therapy can improve orthodontic outcomes and prevent issues like relapse
-The mind-body connection to airway health and why a holistic approach is essential
Through personal and clinical experience as a holistic airway provider, I bring you practical insights, interviews, and real-life case studies to show how a myofunctional approach can bring growth, life, and wellness where you have been stuck, confused, and ill. Each week Iâll share resources, mindset shifts and hands-on strategies you can use to start making a difference.
