Remarkable how everything in our bodies is so connected

This video doubles down on the fact about how freaking interconnected and dependent each body part/system is with each other. Really amazing honestly.

I've been fighting malocclusion for decades. I've spent over $150,000 seeing countless forms of orthodontists, dentists, and even surgeons. (I had orthognathic surgery) None of this has worked to fix the malocclusion and my chronic pain and overall lower upper body strength. I'm trying one more orthotic ($8500) in a few weeks as one more last ditch effort. My posterior teeth don't touch, and this leads to a neverending struggle for my jaw to find its home. 20 years.... It's horrible having a malocclusion. The daily tension in my face destroys quality of life. I envy people who have no idea what I'm talking about.

High level pianists have been talking about how jaw tension hurts technique for a long time, but it was usually explained as tension in one part of the body creates tension elsewhere. Interesting that there might be more to it.

As a dental student, I found this video fascinating on how heavy contact on a specific side of the mouth can cause so many problems. Cheers!

are gains killing my GAINS???

Holy moly dude, these are the things that are not talked enough about, huge respect for making videoes like you do, you empathise crucial pieces to the puzzle that few people seem to find.

Interesting how such a small difference in tooth height can have so many correlative/causal effects. Wisdom teeth could affect this height if they come up underneath the molar then.

Me watching this video while mewing

You can simulate biting by pushing your tongue against your upper palate. Masseter activation isn't as forceful as with something to bite on, but you can do this throughout the day and shift the balance by pushing with the tongue to either side. I most often place my tongue just behind my front teeth, where the palate angles upward. I'm pretty sure I picked this up from ashtanga yoga some 10 years ago.

Your channel is so uniquely valuable. In 10 minutes, you've explained something so outside of most people's consideration, and in a way that is concise and practical. Subscribing to you is the gift that keeps on giving!

Cheers! Glad to see you're on the path of healing this challenge.

Video on teeth health and re-mineralization, healing cavities/etc would be most welcome

Joseph, you nailed it. Been waiting for this since I saw you comment on Neil's channel. Beautiful video man, entertaining, educational and helpful. Thanks! 🍻

Joseph/WIL, you constantly surprise me with the subjects of your videos, always so relevant to me, it’s like you know the videos I need to see and make them. Found your videos when I first used carnivore diet to heal my skin and gut. Then language (I moved country), hair, sleep, and now this. I sincerely thank you for getting the info on these subjects and presenting it in a clear and concise way. You, sir, are a hero 🫡

This video has been so helpful in fixing my balance issues when lifting at the gym. Insightful as always WIL.

Wow, I've had TMJ since i was a kid and finally getting it treated by a dentist. TMJ made working out a nightmare for me cause all my muscles of mastication are tense and overused and i had a terrible shoulder pain on my left side and headaches as a result. It took me so long to figure out these issues were coming from my TMJ. Once i figured it out, my dentist made an orthotic to stabilize my bite, all these symptoms went away and I am actually excited to get back into working out once i'm symptom free and the muscles have rehabilitated. So this is so legit, especially for those with TMJ issues.

Dear diary: My favorite channel posted today.

I saw your comment on that one guy's video about psoas release from the jaw. The comments were right about it being a matter of time before you made a video on it! Thanks for doing a great job at condensing the information into a palatable video ;)

I found this video very important to me. I've too much suffer with my jaw and now I've seen this video I'll put this on practice. Thanks you ❤

Great video thank you . I love these shorter but highly researched videos you make

You always come up with the most interesting topics about health!

This is a niche topic I stumbled upon before. Thanks for bringing it to light.

Hey this is exactly what I've been working on nonstop these past five years. I actually have a heavy distortion in my spine down up from my jaw all the way down to the hips. Because I have this since birth many bones in my body are distorted. I've practiced an enormous amount of Qi Gong though and that is why I'm entirely pain free now. It was a huge effort but I have voluntary control over the smallest muscles now and therefore can immediately adjust my posture any second as I'm completely in control of my tension. It feels amazing to be honest, insane effort but so worth it (in my case at least)

I always love your videos man. You might not upload frequently, but, damn, the quality is on point! Keep it up!

Thank you for this video 🙏

Thank you for that great information. I never knew our own body parts works in connection like that.😮

aside from the impacts of bite alignment I've learned what an absolute unit you are

Thank you for making this. I've been trying to explain how my dentist is fixing my posture through jaw alignment, but all the other videos are too complicated or not entertaining enough to share with my family. I like how this focuses on the benefits of strength gains and less muscle tension, rather than some kind of perfectionistic postural restoration for the sake of it (because most people just won't be into that).

Please do hair again please!!! Thank you for all the videos as always! Love them

This explains my stiffnes and imbalance since getting braces. I got a sealant on my molars which made everything very uncomfortable. Getting braces on my lower teeth made it even worse as now instead of biting normally, top teeth are pressed against the braces, not lower teeth.

I have always had tight hips and can’t go too far into a squat, this is definitely something to look into. Thanks for the video!

I have been obsessed with PRI technequies and I'm glad you covered it here! make sure to check out other conditions that affect posture such as the Left AIC Right BC pattern taht Neal Hallinan talks about. your body is an entire system from the bottom of your foot to the top of your head and one misalighnment in one place will cause pain in another place of the body.

7:40 I crack and stretch my jaw as easily and readily as I crack and stretch my spine and neck throughout the day. Move your lower jaw from side to side, to the point where you feel a stretch at the extremes. Then try rotating it clockwise and counter-clockwise on the horizontal plane, (on the lateral plane parallel to the upper jaw). Once every few days I'll get an unholy crack there which releases a lot of tension. Mewing for about 5 years now, my sinuses feel a lot clearer now, far less congestion. Just finished orthodontic treatment for malocclusion at the start of this year too.

I've had tendinitis for two months and was reading about something "scalene referral pattern" to find why my neck is causing shoulder and hand pain And minutes later you upload this lol I'll give it a try

The face the hulk made when he was jumping made me lol excellent video

posture! yes! you've lured me back in!

Finally somebody popular on youtube is talking about this. It needs to be known by more people.

Very smart way to show off your gains. Well Played. 😎

This was fascinating - thank you.

Your physique is looking pretty impressive man, you should make a video on what your routine is considering all the amount of information you have learned. It will be coo to see what you have implemented. Also do you use creatine ?

Ye boi got ripped 💪 well done!

This channel is like the anti conventional wisdom pot of gold. Almost every video is proving something that the average person would never know to be the case.

There is a line in Baki where someone says that what determines the strength of a fighter is their jaw, it all makes sense now.

Ive been binging ur videos lately because u go in depth on research backed topics and ur videos are always cleverly based off of those burning questions that people typically think of when they find themselves wondering "how does the science behind this particular thing actually work and have we been lied to on this subject by large corporations" which is something that u learn is often the case on this channel, for example when u broke down the history of vegetable oils u showed that the negative effects were clearly known in studies but because of the easiness to produce vegetable oil and that its cheaper to produce in bulk, it was advertised as healthier than animal fats which is literally a total false claim and the science proves the opposite

Didn't know you're doing boxing, do you have any video about combining hypertrophy training with boxing in you weekly routine?

I even said this as kid already, nobody believed me.. & it really damaged my body so much over time... but slowly repairing it all!!

Whats Up gaaaaaang! Loved The video

Amazing video thank you!

Joseph is looking JAAAACKED

I would love something on seamen retention or transmutation for your next videos.

Makes sense the act of throwing a punch we always clench our teeth. But the left right paradigm is interesting to understand signals from either hemisphere of the human brain and the possibility of slight weaknesses in the pathways or whether it due to afferent signals from clenched areas or efferent signaling. Interesting and as always your content is very thought provoking. ❤🌅❤

Wow I had no idea. Defenetely had ideas about similar htings but this was interesting.

My jaw is really sore from running. Haven’t been able to open my mouth wide in months. Will watch this video and hopefully it helps me

I ❤ this man!

Wow, you just descrived something I had no idea was happening to me, I've always had a not so slight tilt to the left in my neck/head, and its the same story than your's, missalignment in the mandibles let to this, whats weird is that my former dentist wanted to tighten the teeth in my lower jaw after removing the back molars, but in that the frontal teeth would've needed to be shaved to fit, it didnt make sense to me, why reduce the ammount of space if whats needed is more space?

where are you? Its been 5 months

Very interesting talk. Dr. Mike Mew, an orthodontist, who has the orthotropics channel on here, can shed further light on this subject.

Awesome video! Wondering if you can make a video for CARs/FRS training. It seems strange to me that people who do it or teach it don't look that muscular😅

My orthodontist messed up my bite when I got my braces off and went to the retainer. He said my tongue was pushing my front teeth out. He drilled a hole in the plastic part of the retainer and told me to keep the tip of my tongue in it. It messed up chewing, the shape of my jaw, my gag reflex and countless other things. I never thought for a second it was actually messing with my whole body. Thank you so very much for this video!

best youtuber ever

I KNEW IT!!!!! I knew that i am not self-inducing some weird random thoughts about this!!!! Same as everything else i've figured myself so far i just needed someone else to say "Yea, dude, that's right." Hahaha, thank you for the video :)

Neil crushes, I learned the same from him. So cool!

Right at the moment when I was thinking about this 🎉

Wow, such a seemingly little thing, such a big impact.

Do you have a video on what causes motion sickness? If not, can you consider doing one? I started a lifestyle change that involves daily exercise and fasting for long hours. In the beginning, it was all great but now I am constantly experiencing motion sickness, especially during the times I’m exercising. I ran across one video that said the motion sickness is due to an imbalance in the head. I did noticed when I tried to keep my head up straight when exercising, I experience less motion sickness. I would love to get some more information on what causes motion sickness and how to prevent it without drugs or over-the-counter products.

Interesting! I wonder if this would help during endurance training as well. Though clenching teeth while running might be a bit of a chore.

This explains why I naturally clench down on my teeth when lifting heavy. Very fascinating how the body works

I wish there was a posterior restoration therapist in my area but being in rural east tn they are all hours away.

Another internet expert.

Pls can you link the mouth guard things you use. Also, it would be incredible if there was a Tensegrity model made that mimics the body.

Idk why but the chickens moving is 😂

What an interesting discovery. So tightly in sync. The human body is indeed the pinnacle of creation.

What about using tongue posture, having it against the whole roof of your mouth with a bit of suction and pressing, taking some pressure off your bite while maintaining stability

The universe must be telling me something because I've been suggested videos about how the jaw has a connection with the psoas and other overlooked connections. The human body is amazing and frustrating.

where did you get your alignment guard ? from your personal dentist?

Looking fit these days Joseph!

Since you said you clinch your jaw a lot, do you know about the connection between orofacial-jaw tension-vocal issues-pelvic floor tension?

Everything is connected, one thing leads to another

i realized this trying to fix my body, months ago. I've had a terrible run in with bruxism, it caused me to have an uneven bite and grind half my jaw away. I was so depressed about it to do anything about it. I had nothing during that time. Now I'm trying to improve myself, firstly addressing my teeth and posture.

Great video, 🙏 thanks

do you think it's important to have straight teeth? like not having an underbite or overbite?

I deal with tmj, scoliosis and pelvic tilt and have my left lateral incisor is missing and that made my teeth tilt and move toward my left by a bit therefore my jaw is misaligned and more forward on the right (+ it's positioning on the neck) And my left rib is more outward It usually gives me a hard time maintaining deep sleep ( it literally prevents me from sleeping on my back or sides, it's not uncomfortable per say it's just that no matter what, i can't go to sleep while I'm in said positions) What can i do to fix all this? I'm planning to get an orthodontist appointment for braces and implant, but I've heard orthodontists specifically doing braces and pulling teeth backwards can ruin your face therefore its better to see a orthotropics for this matters but there are non in my country

I've been watching Neal for a long time. He's so cool.

Nice video. Would have been nice if you had provided the link to the article you referenced at 1:18. Apart from giving proper credit to the researchers/propounders of this theory it will help those wanting to get a more in-depth reading of what you outline here. Of course, a Google search will yield it, but ethically and in principle a link in your description box would be the right thing to do.

Ha! I literally just watched that episode of Monk yesterday.

Q. But what if my rear molars don't touch on both sides at all?

That's incredible.

someone said you could fix your jaw/bite being uneven by chewing with the side you usually don't chew with, personally I always chew with my left side automatically n can definitely see there's a big difference in the jaw muscles n teeth.

Would Invisalign and braces help with this?

There are certain chiropractors who will only adjust the two bones that support the head (atlas and axis), and only push them into place as I recall. I remember individuals with foot problems being helped by this procedure. May all they really needed was to adjust the way the teeth strike and rest on the jaw line. Makes complete sense.

Please share what mouth guard you got. I've had these same issues and cannot find a mouth guard that actually does anything.

My molars on the right side touch more than on the left, which side should I bite? After biting on popsicle stick for 5 minutes on the right I feel a much more even bite.

I know these have been mentioned in some past videos, I'd like to see a deep dive into statins and NNT benefit/risk.

Could you make a video about the adrenals and adrenal fatigue?

What are the odds of this causing the scalp muscles to tense up and lead to baldness as covered in your Rob English video about balding? As far as I remember, one of the findings still missing from their research is what causes the muscles to tense up in the first place.

Can't wait to go to the gym tomorrow to see who all watches your videos

Do a video on sauna for recovery please 🙏

@WhatIveLearned do you edit this yourself or hire out? would like recs thanks.
