Books by Sandra Kahn, Paul R. Ehrlich mentioned on podcasts
Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich's book Jaws: A Hidden Epidemic, often referred to simply as Jaws, received extensive attention across multiple episodes of the Huberman Lab podcast, as well as on Modern Wisdom. Andrew Huberman frequently recommended and discussed the book, noting that it was written by his Stanford colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Sandra Kahn, with a foreword by Jared Diamond and an introduction by Robert Sapolsky. Huberman highlighted the text as a valuable resource that presents abundant data on the physiological and structural benefits of nasal breathing versus mouth breathing, explaining how nasal breathing positively impacts jaw structure, facial development, immune function, and overall health. During an episode featuring Dr. Staci Whitman, both the host and guest recommended Jaws to parents concerned about airway health, breathing habits, and oral microbiomes. Huberman also mentioned that the book addresses the history and prevalence of mouth breathing and skeletal changes, noting that its concepts were initially met with skepticism before data supported them. On Modern Wisdom, Huberman brought a copy of the book to the studio to introduce its core arguments regarding human facial structure and modern health challenges to the audience, emphasizing the collaborative work of its authors in exploring these hidden health epidemics.
