45: What This Child’s Lip Licking Was Really Telling Us

In this mini case study episode, Karindy shares a real clinical moment that underscores the importance of trusting your instincts as a clinician. Subtle body cues can reveal deeper physiological stress - often tied to inflammation, infection, or nervous system dysregulation - if we’re willing to look beyond surface-level symptoms.

She breaks down why whole-body thinking is essential in airway and myofunctional therapy, along with the role of collaboration, timely referrals, and clear communication with families. This episode also highlights how clinicians can develop and refine their intuition through intentional training and experience.
