On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a deep dive into the hotly debated topic of hydroxyapatite toothpaste - what it is, how it compares to fluoride, and whether the recent social media fear around nano-hydroxyapatite is warranted. Is hydroxyapatite a bioidentical breakthrough or a health risk in disguise? Jared breaks down the actual science in simple terms, explaining the difference between nano and non-nano hydroxyapatite, why the source and shape of calcium matters, and how co-factors like magnesium, vitamin D3, and K2 play a vital role in preventing calcification and optimizing calcium absorption. If you've been getting mixed messages and want to hear all sides of the argument - this is the show for you.Products:Just Ingredients Tooth PowderDavids ToothpasteOregadentDentalcidinTerry Naturally BosMed Boswellia (Vitality Radio POW!

I'm joined by biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram to explore the critical connection between oral health, hormones, aging, and whole-body wellness. We cover how inflammation and poor nutrition impact the mouth, how oral health changes as we age, and why hormonal shifts - especially in perimenopause and menopause - can directly affect your gums, teeth, and jaw. The importance of oral health is often overlooked when we think of "optimizing health", I hope this conversation encourages you to take your oral health more seriously and helps you understand what your oral health might be telling you about your body.
When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived as an unexpected and unwelcome presence in our lives, it didn't just disrupt our daily routines, it drastically changed how we learn, teach, and connect. For many healthcare professionals, including those in dentistry, this meant abandoning lecture halls and clinical classrooms for an unfamiliar and potentially daunting virtual teaching landscape. After all, no-one knew if this mandatory experiment in online teaching would work out. Yet from this unprecedented upheaval emerged an extraordinary opportunity to rethink how education is delivered globally, one that Dr. Shasha Cui of the Eastman Institute for Oral Health at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, and her colleagues, seized with insight, innovation, and a keen eye toward the future.
What if we told you your mouth might be the secret key to protecting your brain, your heart… and even your long-term health? This week, we're joined by world-renowned dentist and wellness expert Dr. Jonathan Levine to talk about the connection between oral health and whole-body healing. He breaks down how your gums can warn you about inflammation, why bleeding when brushing isn't normal (even though most people think it is!), and how dental hygiene plays a bigger role in disease prevention than you've ever been told. PLUS, Dr. Levine walks us through his 4-minute protocol to reset your oral health, simple, doable, and science-backed. You'll walk away empowered with tools to take charge of your health… starting with your smile. Tune in, squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Bleeding gums aren't normal: They're an early sign of inflammation and can be a warning flag for more serious issues in the body like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. Don't ignore it—treat the gums, support the body. Oral health impacts systemic health: Your mouth is the gateway to your entire body. Bacteria in the mouth can trigger inflammation that spreads to the brain, heart, and gut. Healing starts with hygiene. Try the 4-minute oral reset: Dr. Levine recommends a simple 4-minute daily routine (electric brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, and using a mouth rinse) to reduce inflammation and protect your whole-body health. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjonlevine/?hl=en Website: https://www.drjonathanlevine.com/ Smile House: https://www.instagram.com/smilehousetribeca/ JBL: https://www.instagram.com/jblnewyorkcity/ If you're in NYC, Dr. Levine is offering one complimentary whitening treatment when you book a Mouth Mapping appointment at Smile House or JBL NYC.

Healing often begins with the courage to ask questions—and the right guide to walk you through the answers. Dr. Jill Jenkins shares how pediatric oral health connects to far more than teeth, influencing everything from nursing success to sleep, speech, and even a child's overall development. With warmth and wisdom, she explains how individualized care and a collaborative approach with other practitioners can empower parents to identify tongue ties and make confident decisions. Her passion is a reminder that small interventions early on can create ripple effects of wellness for a lifetime. Key Takeaways: Understanding tongue ties and their subtle symptoms can help parents advocate for their child's health. A multidisciplinary approach—including dentists, lactation consultants, and bodywork—leads to better outcomes. Early, individualized care builds a foundation for proper oral function and overall well-being. Parents' instincts are powerful; trusting your gut can lead to answers others might overlook. Restoring oral function can positively impact sleep, feeding, and emotional connection between parent and child. About Dr. Jill Jenkins: With almost 20 years of experience as a pediatric dentist, Dr Jill Jenkins felt like there wasn't a child she couldn't help through her pediatric dental practice, Jenkins Dentistry for Kids. That was until 2 of her long term employees had infants with tongue tie restrictions, requiring frenectomy procedures. Without the proper training and equipment, Dr Jenkins had to refer her patients to another practitioner at a vulnerable time for the families who had come to trust her. So, after extensive coursework and in-person observation with one of the most renowned tongue tie pediatric dentists in the field, Dr Richard Baxter, Dr Jenkins is thrilled to now be able to provide frenectomy services to patients through the establishment of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. By utilizing the state of the art Lightscalpel CO2 laser and working closely with functional providers, Dr Jenkins is confident that patients receive exceptional care before, during and post-procedure to ensure not only a precise tongue tie release, but also the movement and functionality the release is designed to achieve. Dr Jill Jenkins attended dental school and her pediatric residency at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry and Children's Mercy Hospital. After 15 years in her original partnership, Dr Jenkins pivoted to develop a practice based on her own patient and team centered philosophy to open Jenkins Dentistry for Kids with locations in Lenexa and Shawnee. She is also the owner and founder of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. Dr Jenkins has served organized dentistry in many volunteer roles throughout her career, most notably as President of the Fifth District Dental Society of Kansas, President of the State of Kansas Dental Association and currently as Chair of the KDA Membership committee, member of the ADA Council on Membership, and as a Delegate for the State of Kansas to the ADA. Dr Jenkins is a board certified pediatric dentist, and is involved with many professional organizations where she is a diplomate for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy, fellow of the American College of Dentists and fellow of the International College of Dentists. She also received the Women Who Mean Business Award from the Kansas City Business Journal in 2017, where she continues to stay active. She has also been awarded Dentist of the Year both locally and at the state level. Dr Jenkins has been married for over 25 years and is fortunate to have 3 amazing children. www.jenkinsdentistryforkids.com www.midwesttonguetieprofessionals.com https://www.facebook.com/JenkinsDentistryKids/ https://www.instagram.com/jenkinsdentistryforkids/ Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco Thanks for listening!

What if the key to preventing heart disease, dementia, and cancer was hiding in your mouth? In this eye-opening episode, we're joined by dental hygienist and consultant Tosha Kozloski RDH, who's revolutionizing periodontal care through advanced diagnostic techniques that reveal what traditional exams miss."All infections start subclinically," Tosha explains, sharing how microscopy has transformed her approach to gum disease. While conventional dentistry often relies on visible symptoms like bleeding or inflammation, Tasha shows how harmful bacteria can thrive beneath the surface in seemingly healthy mouths. The microscope becomes a powerful educational tool as patients witness spirochetes and amoebas actively swimming in samples from their own mouths – bacteria that shouldn't be present in health.We explore the three-tier approach that's helping patients regrow bone without surgery: professional interventions with ozone and laser therapy, enhanced home care protocols, and addressing immune system factors. Tasha explains why water flossing with antimicrobial solutions penetrates protective bacterial biofilms that brushing alone cannot reach, using vivid analogies that compare traditional cleanings to a "car wash" when some patients need the "full detail."The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about periodontitis, antibiotics, and the oral-systemic connection. From patients whose eye infections resolved after periodontal treatment to the presence of oral bacteria in brain tissue and heart attack clots, the evidence is clear: your mouth is connected to everything.Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone concerned about your overall wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights into preventing disease at its source.

In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver's role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity. If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Chris Motley particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions. If they're overwhelmed, they stop sending coherent messages.” “The body remembers. If someone hasn't processed grief, it might be stored in their lungs or colon, showing up as chronic inflammation or fatigue.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” “Mold and Lyme don't just infect—they distort your body's frequency. That's why they're so hard to detect and treat with conventional methods.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Chris Motley Returns for Fourth Episode 01:44 – Building a Friendship Through Shared Health Passion 02:33 – Biohacking Conferences: Trends and Insights 03:09 – Blood Flow and Longevity in Biohacking 04:14 – Chronic Infections and Blood Clotting Issues 05:34 – Red Light's Impact on Blood Health and Cardiovascular Benefits 06:56 – BioCharger: Light and Frequency Healing Technology 08:18 – Anecdotal Success with BioCharger for Parasites 10:03 – Genetic Testing for Personalized Health Solutions 13:46 – Genetic Testing for Hair and Skin Health 15:15 – Molecular Hydrogen: Benefits and Emerging Devices 18:29 – Challenges with Subpar Health Products in the Market 21:04 – Importance of Trustworthy Health Products and Testing 24:21 – BioLight's Upcoming Scientific Studies on Products 27:34 – Red and Blue Light Toothbrush for Oral Health 31:12 – TCM: Teeth, Kidneys, and Meridian Connections 36:50 – Light Therapy's Impact on Kidney and Adrenal Health 39:11 – Oral Health and Its Link to Brain Function 43:40 – Gut Health's Role in Kidney and Bladder Issues 47:09 – Neti Pot and Red Light for Sinus Health 51:39 – Gut-Brain Connection and Glyphosate's Impact 54:13 – TCM Approach to Healing Leaky Gut 58:58 – Glyphosate's Effect on Copper and Joint Health 01:03:54 – Magnetism's Role in Detox and Mitochondrial Health 01:07:06 – Schumann Resonance and Health Impacts of Low Magnetism 01:10:12 – Magnetic Sleep Pads for Regeneration and Health 01:14:15 – Environmental Toxins: EMF and Glyphosate Challenges 01:17:20 – Mitochondrial Function as Key to Immune Health 01:20:02 – Compounding Benefits of Daily Health Practices 01:21:34 – Future Discussion: Lymphatic System and TCM - Where to learn more from and about Dr. Chris Motley: DoctorMotley.com Instagram Ancient Health Podcast - Optimizing oral health may be the most efficient way to achieve systemic wellness...SAVE 20% this week only on BioLight Oral Care devices!

If you think cavities are just about sugar and skipping floss, this episode will completely flip that script. I sat down with Dr. Staci Whitman, a functional dentist who's blowing the lid off everything we thought we knew about oral health. What she shared about the connection between your mouth, gut, brain, hormones (yes, hormones!) and even sleep had my jaw on the floor… and honestly, it still is. Dr. Staci breaks down the real reasons so many of us (myself included) get cavities even when we're doing “all the right things,” the surprising link between mouth breathing and chronic health issues, and why what's happening in your oral microbiome could be the missing piece in your health puzzle. We also get into the truth about fluoride, the foods that are secretly harming your teeth, and what you can start doing today to protect your entire body—starting with your mouth.If you're a parent, a wellness nerd, or just want to stop dreading your next dental visit, this episode will change how you look at oral health forever.
Story at-a-glance Women with chronic migraines and body-wide pain were far more likely to have poor oral health, with over half falling into the lowest oral health categories in a new study Specific oral bacteria, including Mycoplasma salivarium and Gardnerella vaginalis, were significantly more common in women who reported frequent migraines and widespread pain Harmful oral microbes don't stay in your mouth; once gum tissue is inflamed, these bacteria enter your bloodstream, disrupt the immune system, and trigger systemic pain A less diverse oral microbiome was found in women with migraines and gut pain, making it easier for pain-triggering bacteria to dominate and inflame nerve pathways Inflammatory chemicals produced by oral bacteria — like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) — are directly involved in migraine and fibromyalgia, showing how poor oral hygiene can set off whole-body pain responses
