Welcome to The Myohacker Podcast. I am your host, Karindy Ong. I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist specialized in myofunctional therapy and the mom of two who has learned through clinical and personal experience how to get clear as we navigate decisions related to airway health. I am on a mission to educate families without the overwhelm so that our children can grow, eat, breathe, and thrive. Join me each week as we explore the crucial connection between how we breathe, swallow, eat, speak and sleep. We will discuss how these functions affect us holistically and discuss the why and the how of airway challenges. From tongue ties and tongue thrust, we unpack questions from parents to clarify what a whole-body approach to treatment and wellness means. Myofunctional therapy isn’t just about correcting a tongue tie; it’s about restoring balance and function to the body. Together we will discuss: -How airway issues like mouth breathing can affect our health-At-home strategies to

56: Speech Sounds, Feeding Clues
Sep 14, 202623 minS1
When a child comes in for speech sounds, Holly Probst-Bowers wants to watch them eat. Holly, a Speech-Language Pathologist and owner of Atwell Therapeutics in Houston, joins me to talk about how myofunctional training changed her evaluations, her treatment sessions, and the questions she asks families. In this episode, we talk about: Why Holly includes feeding in her speech evaluations, even when parents haven’t raised feeding concerns. What she looks for in tongue position, lip closure, and oral structure, and why she asks about sleep. What she took from the MyoHacker Mini, including case discussions, movement, and getting kids out of the therapy chair.

Dr. Julia Kagan joins me to explore the ALF appliance through a whole-body lens, including cranial motion, tongue-palate input, neuroregulation, and why the body’s response matters just as much as the appliance itself. We also dig into laser therapy, the anterior coupling reflex, and what can happen when we pay attention to the sensory and neurologic information our patients are giving us. In this episode, we talk about: How the ALF can support cranial motion, neuromyofunctional growth, and regulation How laser therapy may influence fascia, muscle function, and sensory-motor feedback Why listening to patients, parents, and the body’s response can change clinical decision-making Connect with Dr. Julia Kagan: https://integrativedentalartsofwny.com/ Connect with Karindy: https://www.myohackerslp.com/ Instagram: @myohackerslp and @theintuitivemyohacker

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
