Why we wrote this book
We have written this book for everyone who is currently breathing! Humans are meant to be nose breathers. Each story represents a person we have encountered in our practices and travels. Their signs and symptoms and life stories may remind you of friends or family members who are mouth breathers. We have included our own stories of switching from mouth to nose breathing. We are both now LipZiped!
