From her inspiring roots in rural Kenya—where witnessing preventable tragedies fueled her lifelong mission to serve underserved communities—to her surgical expertise in the heart of Illinois, Dr. Omoro shares her journey and philosophy of global care.

In this episode, they dive deep into the world of ear, nose, and throat health:

• The differences between pediatric ENT issues (like ear tubes and tonsillectomies) and adult-acquired conditions.
• Busting common myths about sinus infections, allergies, viral colds, and why antibiotics aren't always the answer—plus when surgery can truly transform lives.
• The science behind vertigo and its surprisingly simple, non-medication fixes.
• Snoring: Why it's never "just a noise," its strong ties to weight and airway obstruction, and how it can escalate to life-threatening sleep apnea that strains the heart.

Dr. Omoro emphasizes prevention through lifestyle changes, the limitations of surgery alone, and the exciting role of Graham Health System's new facilities in bringing world-class ENT care right to Galesburg. Whether you're dealing with chronic stuffiness, a snoring partner, or balance issues, this episode is packed with practical advice from a surgeon who's dedicated her career to making a difference—one patient at a time.
