Highlighting the importance of a holistic approach, the episode covers signs of tongue ties, such as feeding difficulties and sleep disruptions, and underscores the need for functional assessments and post-release care. Kaili provides listeners with a downloadable checklist to track symptoms and identifies the connection between tongue function and full-body health.
