In the 1960s, Dr. Belfor was sent to Vietnam to work as the sole brigade dentist for 4,000 soldiers of the 196th Light Infantry. From the jungles of Vietnam to Park Ave in Manhattan, upon his return, he opened his own private dental office in New York City and has been in private practice for more than 40 years. Specializing in Treatment of Cranial Facial System Since 2001, Dr. Belfor has specialized in his patient evaluation system for diagnosis and treatment with the Homeoblock™protocol. The Homeoblock™ protocol is designed to treat facial aging and improve breathing by generating proper swallowing, tongue posture and positional changes of the bones of the cranial facial system. The Unilateral BiteBlock Technology® which is unique to the Homeoblock™ appliance was used in the design of the FDA cleared, POD™(Preventive Oral Device), for Bruxism, TMJ and headaches. Both appliances are dedicated to maximizing craniofacial function by improving wellness through face and airway development to improve breathing, TMJ function and Sutural Homeostasis. Dedicated to Educating Others Dr. Belfor has been lecturing on his specialty worldwide, teaching and training dentists with the Homeoblock™ appliance and his unique diagnostic protocol for more than 18 years. His work is devoted to understanding the causes of sleep and breathing disorders through individual patient craniofacial analysis.

After developing a highly successful esthetic restorative practice for 19 years, he moved to Las Vegas in 2002 to become a full-time faculty member as the Clinical Director at LVI. While there, he taught clinical skills and lectured to dentists throughout North America, combining the fine art of esthetic dentistry and neuromuscular rehabilitation along with maintaining a private practice. His love for private practice prompted him to move back to Indianapolis to focus entirely on patient care. He has lectured for Myotronics, Bioresearch, The Center at Dental Ceramics, The Aurum Group, Aviara Institute and published over 21 articles including co-authoring a chapter in the prestigious Dental Clinics of North America. Dr. Adams has just recently began providing access to his wealth of knowledge via individualized online training and patient workups which utilize an innovative software developed by the Mayo Clinic. A journey filled with paradigm shifts and epiphanies has taken him around the country teaching dentists to look at their patients in a more Quantum vs Newtonian approach. A very humble and unique style allows him to simplify the complicated by making it uncomplicated. https://www.aviarainstitute.com/drcacho daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/1650928269167-PDHB925IRFXRQAH38Z44/Dr.+Valerie+Cropped.png drcacho - Dr. Valerie Cacho, MD Dr. Cacho is a board certified internal medicine and sleep medicine physician.

While she was one of the first to set up a in-house, interdisciplinary clinic to serve infants and children, which earned her clinic the “Centres for Light International Award for Advancing Medicine via the Myofunctional Sciences” she is now one of the first who is speaking out into the professional community about what is still missing for our littles and why some of them are not getting the outcomes they deserve. Dr. Luedemann teaches a 2-day Advanced Pediatric Laser Dentistry Courses nationally and internationally and also teaches LAFTR (Laser Assisted Functional Therapeutic Release) to dentists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and a variety of other allied healthcare providers. She is also one of very few healthcare providers treating the 0-3 year old population with a series of patent pending oral appliances, who are already showing signs of airway compromise and sleep apnea. In this course she will be sharing deep on these topics and you will appreciate the friendly and approachable way she presents this complex material. In her spare time, she loves traveling with her family, hanging out with her biohacking friends and reading meaningful books! https://www.aviarainstitute.com/ong daily 0.75 2023-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/46c4ed2f-730e-4ffe-a962-b054c06b34f3/Karindy+sq.png ong - Karindy Ong, MA, CCC-SLP, CFT* Karindy Ong is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist who graduated from the University of Houston with a Master of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders in May 2015.

One of the frameworks Karindy uses to guide her work is polyvagal theory, which looks at how the nervous system and emotions are interconnected. By understanding how the body responds to stress and trauma, treatments are tailored to meet each patient's specific needs. Depending on the patient, biohacking interventions may also be utilized to increase reduce treatment time and increase the quality of improvements gained. Karindy is well-known for seeing a variety of connections in each case and collaborating across-disciplines to get to the root cause for the most impact. When not engrossed in therapy, Karindy enjoys being outside and exploring state parks with her family, going to the gym, listening to podcasts and books, and learning more about biohacking. https://www.aviarainstitute.com/nealy daily 0.75 2023-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/4b8ab0c1-88fb-43e5-b6ba-2703bee2f2cf/Melissa+Nealy+sq2.png nealy - Melissa Nealy, IBCLC, LM, CPM, CFT* Melissa Nealy is a wife and mother.

Price, DPharm Roger Price’s career began in the mid 1950s in South Africa where he started his studies as a Pharmacist at Rhodes University. As a qualified Pharmacist with an Honours degree in Physiology and Pharmacology, he then went on to qualify as a Clinical Nutritionist and Remedial Massage Therapist. He studied further in the behavioural and psychological aspects of ill health and soon moved away from mainstream medicine as he realised that it had nothing to do with health at all. More than 20 years ago he started to challenge the way that sleep disorders were being addressed and introduced the concept of Airway Management to the world of Dentistry. The name Roger Price is synonymous with Breathing Disordered Sleep - the prime reason that people are continuously tired, lack concentration, develop all kinds of chronic conditions and simply do not get better. After a 7 year Sabbatical in the United States, Europe, Canada, Ukraine, Russia, UAE, and having commenced, at the age of 79, a Masters in Applied Breathing Sciences, Roger returned to Sydney where he now consults for several Airway based practices. Blessed with a rich resonant voice and an impeccable English accent – combined with a quirky sense of humour and experienced presentation skills – his highly entertaining lectures, courses and presentations are universally enjoyed. https://www.aviarainstitute.com/roger-price-airway daily 0.75 2023-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Aviara Course Landing Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Aviara Course Landing Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Aviara Course Landing Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Aviara Course Landing Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/ccf72db3-0b11-4337-ba98-8e5b65c763d1/m-accelerator-zJYMJIrQYTE-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/e363177a-27b1-4846-97cb-af85299b7a5b/Roger+Price+%282%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/a61fe055-3e5e-4122-bb0e-e4472fbfc417/robert-bye-WTPp4wgourk-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/372e39f9-eb39-4b80-9e33-4976d7ca1e18/iStock-Irvine-CA-184927628.jpg https://www.aviarainstitute.com/barlow daily 0.75 2023-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6261be96969a890481108de9/e229725c-e33a-410c-a044-997b83f3c29b/Laura+Barlow+RDH.jpg Laura Barlow - Laura Barlow, RDH, CBBA, CSOM, INHC, CYT Laura has 20 years of clinical experience practicing in dentistry, 10 years working in pediatrics, and 6 years working in public health.
