Dr. Staci Whitman's book recommendations

1 episode across 1 podcast

Dr. Staci Whitman is a holistic dentist and health expert who appears on scientifically focused platforms like the Huberman Lab to discuss the vital connections between oral health, the oral microbiome, and overall bodily wellness. Drawing from her professional expertise, Dr. Whitman frequently recommends specialized literature to help parents, patients, and practitioners understand airway health, facial structure development, and proper breathing habits. Among her primary recommendations is James Nestor's Breath, which she highlights alongside Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich's Jaws as essential resources for understanding how modern dietary and breathing habits have caused human jaws and faces to shrink over generations, a concept she refers to as disevolution. Furthermore, Dr. Whitman directs readers to Nestor's book to learn about conservative interventions for facial structure development, such as the homeoblock appliance, which offers an alternative to invasive jaw surgery. To help parents screen, identify, and better understand early childhood airway issues, she also recommends Sharon Moore's Sleep-Wrecked Kids as an indispensable guide for early intervention and overall pediatric health.
