Our health journey actually starts with brushing our teeth because the bacteria and the toxins from the mouth can spread to the rest of the body." — Dr. Kenny Brown "The tongue is a shag carpet. It is not a smooth table. It has crevices where all the food that we eat, the snot, the drainage, and the bacteria can tuck in, which creates the white layer on top of the tongue, and can become the source of bad breath. So cleaning the tongue on a routine basis is absolutely necessary." — Dr. Kenny Brown "Veneers alter the microbiome of the mouth. It's more man made material that's going in your mouth. And it will never get clean the same way that you can clean your natural teeth. The edges of veneers is where cavities start to creep in so you actually need to take better care of them." — Dr. Kenny Brown Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking Korrect Life - 15% OFF WITH CODE "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Kreatures of Habit - Save 20% with WISDOM20 Supplements MANNA GOLD - $20 off with the code JOSHGOLD Adapt Naturals - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE MitoZen - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE Activation Products - 20% off with the code JOSH20 BiOptimizers - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Fatty15 Essential Fatty Acids Supplement - Get 15% off with code JOSH15 Sleep BiOptimizers Sleep Breakthrough - 10% off with JOSH10 Zyppah Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece - 20% off with the code JOSH MitoZen Super SandMan Ultra™ (Melatonin Liposomal)+ | 10% off with WELLNESSFORCE Luminette Light Therapy Glasses - 15% off with JOSH Cured Nutrition CBN Night Oil - 20% off with JOSH Natural Energy MTE - Save 20% with JOSH TruKava - Save 20% with code JOSH20 Drink Update - Save 25% with discount code JOSH25 EONS Mushroom Coffee - 20% off with the discount code JOSH20 EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE BUBS Naturals - Save 20% with JOSH20 Fitness + Physical Health Detox Dudes Online Courses - Up to $500 off with discount code JOSH Kineon - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Create Wellness Creatine Gummies - 20% off with discount code JOSH BioPro+ by BioProtein Technology - Save $30 OFF WITH CODE JOSH Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Healthy Home SunHome Saunas - Save $200 with JOSH200 JASPR Air Purifier - Save 10% with code WELLNESS Zyppah Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece - 20% off with the code JOSH Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with discount code JOSH SimplyO3 - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 LEELA Quantum Upgrade + Frequency Bundles - Get 15 days free with code JOSH15 TrulyFree Toxic- Free Cleaning Products - Get 40% off + Freebies with code WELLNESSFORCE Mental Health + Stress Release Mendi.io - 20% off with the code JOSH20 NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the discount code JOSH10 CalmiGo - $30 off the device with discount code JOSH30 QUALIA - 15% off with WELLNESSFORCE Personal Care The Wellness Company's Emergency Health Kits + More - Save 10% with code JOSH Farrow Life - Save 20% with JOSH Timeline Nutrition - 10% off with JOSH Intelligence of Nature - 15% off Skin Support with the code JOSH15 Young Goose - Save 10% with code JOSH10 Mindfulness + Meditation BREATHE - 33% off with the code PODCAST33 Neuvana - 15% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE Four Visions - Save 15% with code JOSH15 Lotuswei - 10% off with JOSH Clothing Rhizal Grounded Barefoot Shoes - Save 10% with code WELLNESS Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with the code JOSHT10 Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join The Liberated Life Tribe About Dr. Kenny Brown Dr. Kenny Brown is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who has operated on everything from a loose baby tooth to a skull reconstruction following a bear attack.

In this compelling episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Kenneth Leaver—a serial entrepreneur and founder of Reviv—to explore the unspoken connection between mental health, anxiety, and the physical body. From his intense journey through anxiety attacks during high-stress startup life in Vietnam to discovering how dental biomechanics and simple tools like mouth guards helped him regain control, Kenneth brings a bold, refreshing lens to mental wellness. If you've ever felt like anxiety is running your life—or you're tired of generic advice—this conversation will shift your perspective and offer practical tools. Tune in for powerful insights into burnout, physical health, and how high performers can stay grounded without sacrificing excellence. About the Guest – Kenneth Leaver:Kenneth Leaver is a global strategist and startup leader who has scaled six startups and now leads Reviv, a cutting-edge dental biomechanics brand. He also serves as a fractional COO at a venture-funded solar company. Kenneth brings a unique voice to the mental health conversation, blending hard-earned experience with physical innovation. Key Takeaways : Anxiety is not just emotional—it can be physical. Kenneth shares his story of severe anxiety triggered after dental work, revealing a surprising connection to jaw tension and alignment. A decade-long journey led to Revive, where Kenneth now helps thousands overcome anxiety using flat mouth guards worn during sleep—no therapy, just biomechanics. High performance ≠ burnout. Kenneth juggles multiple roles without anxiety or burnout by focusing on physical recovery, setting boundaries, and avoiding hustle culture. Know your limits. Kenneth reminds high achievers that pushing past physical or mental limits is counterproductive—"Boundaries are not a weakness; they're strategic.” The simplest tools matter. Nature, breath, quiet reflection, and even a $5 night guard can make profound changes in mental health. Understand your anxiety thresholds. A little pressure may boost performance, but excessive anxiety undermines confidence and cognitive function.

If you're squeamish about teeth, be warned—but if you've ever been curious about why Vietnamese kids drink sugary milk or how dentists are using 3D printing, this one's for you.Key Talking Points:Why children's teeth in Vietnam are often severely decayed—and how sugar-laced milk plays a role.The surprising reasons flossing is more important than you think (hint: it's linked to Alzheimer's).Why dental tourism in Vietnam is booming and how Premier Dental is leading the charge.The cultural and genetic differences in dental health across nationalities.How 3D printing and digital scanning are transforming the dental experience.Real stories from Albert's time in Australia, the U.S., and Vietnam—including the worst mouth he's ever seen.Chapters and Timestamps10:00 – The state of children's dental health in Vietnam20:30 – Generational habits & lack of awareness25:00 – From Australia to Vietnam: Albert's journey31:00 – Modern dentistry, 3D printing & Premier Dental39:00 – The truth about flossing (and bad breath)49:00 – Dental tourism: what to know before you go"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

In this special episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, Kenneth Braswell, CEO of Fathers Incorporated, joins Dr. David Miller for a raw and eye-opening conversation on a topic rarely discussed in men's health: dental care. Sharing his own painful journey through full dental reconstruction, Kenneth reflects on how cultural silence around health—especially among Black men—has led many to neglect the very care that sustains life, connection, and legacy. From emergency extractions to permanent dentures, the experience reshaped his relationship to food, fitness, family, and self-care. Kenneth and Dr. Miller explore how early messages around toughness, survival, and masculinity leave men unprepared to prioritize prevention. They also discuss the systemic failures of the health insurance system, the cultural need to redefine what it means to be strong, and why modeling healthy behaviors for our children starts with taking care of ourselves first. This episode is a call to action for fathers: your health is not just about you. It's about the story your children will tell and the moments you might miss if you don't take care of yourself now.

What up PEEPS! We're back with another edition of the Daddy Issues Podcast.

After the COVID-19 pandemic unwound, we were able to return to our dentists. Visiting the dentist isn't often mentioned when we think of the fallout from that event, but for those of us who were accustomed to regular visits, it pushed us far behind. My visits were pushed even further behind because my longtime dentist retired, selling his practice to a younger, arrogant guy I didn't like (or trust). By the time I discovered Plaza Carmona Dental Associates in Hot Springs Village, thanks to the audience who highly recommended Dr. Kristi Golden, I was almost two years behind on my scheduled cleanings. From the time I booked the appointment through that first cleaning, it was better than any dental visit I'd ever had. And I've regularly gone to dentists my entire life. But for me, it's not about discomfort or pain. It's the whole experience of doing something I'd honestly rather not do, but it's vastly better than losing teeth or enduring ongoing mouth pain. I'm fanatical about customer experience, and it was awesome finding a dental practice that seemed to share my fanaticism. Healthcare, including dental health, is a top priority for all of us, especially as we age. Today, my two favorite dentists (Dr. Kristi Golden and Dr. Camryn Ruggeri Bryant) join me to talk about how they came to Hot Springs Village to begin their practice, what life is like inside the Village, and why dental health is essential (and shouldn't be scary). • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________

Stu Brereton from Delta Dental of CT joins us at the Travelers Championship to discuss Dental Health and their involvement in the tournament.
Fluoride has been in the news recently with some people questioning the worth of adding this vital mineral to the water supplies in the United States. Fluoride repairs and prevents damage to teeth caused by bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria in the mouth produce acid when a person eats or drinks. The acid dissolves minerals in a tooth's surface, making the tooth weaker and open to cavities.1 Fluoride replaces the minerals lost from a tooth due to acid breakdown. Some fluoride can replace minerals in the tooth surface, making the outer enamel layer harder to dissolve. Fluoride also may reduce the amount of acid that cavity-causing bacteria produce, as well as making it harder for these bacteria to stick to the teeth.1 Protecting teeth requires consistent, low levels of fluoride in the mouth (in the saliva and on tooth surfaces). Fluoride can also be incorporated into developing dental enamel before a tooth erupts into the mouth, enhancing the tooth's resistance to acid breakdown and preventing cavities later in life. (credits) Some public figures have made false claims that adding fluoride to drinking water poses health risks, such as reduced intelligence in children and cancer. When used at recommended levels, fluoride in drinking water is safe and effective for preventing tooth decay, which also provides benefits for people's overall health. Extensive research has consistently demonstrated that optimal fluoridation does not pose a detectable risk of cancer or other serious health issues.

Resources for Emotional Healing: Episode 79Resource for Dental/Airway challenges: Episode 71Podcast dedicated to addressing mold: Never Been SickerIn this episode of the "Ask Dr. Tony" series, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses the question of whether there are times when nervous system work should not be the first priority in healing. While he typically advocates for starting with nervous system regulation through chiropractic care before moving to detoxification and other therapies, he identifies three significant exceptions: mold exposure, family emotional stress, and dental/airway issues. These environmental factors can create constant stress on a child's body, preventing nervous system healing despite proper chiropractic care. Dr. Tony explains how these issues work as continuous stressors that exhaust the nervous system and require specific interventions before chiropractic care can be fully effective.[00:05:00] Foundational ConceptsDr. Bruce Lipton's quote: "The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the behavior of all other cells"The "inside-out" healing approach vs. pharmaceutical/symptom-based approachesHealth as a balance between internal regulation and environmental factors[00:10:00] First Exception: Mold ExposureHow mold creates a constant 24/7/365 burden on the immune and nervous systemsSigns that mold might be an issue (persistent respiratory problems despite treatment)Why mold must be addressed before nervous system work can be effective[00:19:00] Second Exception: Family Emotional StressHow stress and emotional trauma within the family affect a child's healingThe importance of treating parents' nervous systems for co-regulationPersonal examples from Dr. Tony's experiences with his own children's health challenges[00:23:00] Third Exception: Dental Infections and Airway IssuesHow dental problems and airway dysfunction create continuous nervous system stressThe connection between oral health and vagus nerve functionWhy these issues can block progress despite proper chiropractic care[00:29:00] Identifying Issues and SolutionsUsing INSiGHT Scans to measure nervous system function and identify non-responsive casesThe "three scans" rule for determining when to look for other underlying issuesImportance of proper referrals and comprehensive care approaches-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
