Podcasts about systemic health

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause while also managing chronic health conditions? Or perhaps perimenopause has triggered an underlying, previously dormant issue? Traditional healthcare may not be enough to combat the symptoms, but do not fear! Today's guest is here to teach us how your nervous system, immune system, and hormones can all work together to support healing and longevity. This week, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond, Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. Together, they explore how seemingly “silent” chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders or even long covid, can complicate menopause—and what you can do about it. Dr. Drummond shares her insights on calming the nervous system, building metabolic health through nutrient-dense habits, and using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) to guide recovery. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) The impact of menopause on silent chronic conditions(05:44) Dr. Jessica Drummond reflects on her professional journey in the chronic condition space(11:11) Common underlying chronic conditions affecting menopause(16:08) Discussion of the silent underlying conditions that can manifest later in life(25:43) Calming the nervous system to heal in a consistent way(30:50) The importance of your metabolic health in the form of nutrient-dense food, strength training, walking, hydration and circadian rhythm(32:09) Discussion of heart rate variability, recovery, and developing the art of sitting quietly(41:36) The importance of working with a health coach to plan for the future of your healthKEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be overwhelming on their own. Still, when layered on top of chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders, or post-viral syndromes (e.g., long COVID), it creates a compounded health challenge. Traditional training often overlooks the role of nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle in healing. Chronic conditions—especially during perimenopause—require a personalized, holistic strategy.Healing during menopause doesn't require drastic changes—small, consistent steps matter most. Start where it feels easiest, like mindfulness, nutrition, or gentle movement. Recovery and nervous system regulation are just as important as action. Tools like heart rate variability (HRV) can help track progress, showing that true resilience comes from balancing effort with rest.Integrating the nervous, immune, and hormone systems is the key to living a longer, more active, healthier life. When these systems are balanced and working together, they support overall well-being and longevity.QUOTES:         (10:04) “In my traditional physical therapy training, nutrition was not emphasized as a healing tool. It was more like you needed adequate nutrients to perform certain physical activities, but we didn't think about it from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(13:59) “Research shows us that acute illnesses like infections trigger chronic diseases.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(22:36) “It's exposing these underlying things that have been lying dormant, that we just brushed aside or pushed through because they weren't really standing in the way of us doing the things that we wanted to do.”  - Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “I think we make these plans expecting perfection, planning for this optimal, ideal day that never happens. So put these things in place so they happen even on the days where we don't feel a hundred percent, even on the days where nothing goes as planned.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramUse Your Heart Rate Monitor to Improve Your Health                GUEST RESOURCES:The Integrative Women's Health InstituteIntegrative Women's Health  - Podcast Integrative Women's Health - PubMedInnovative Approaches to Chronic Pain with The Anodunos Method TeamGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, is a leading expert in women's health and the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute.

Dr. Emily Stein joins Dr. Judy in discussing the importance of the oral microbiome health in dogs and cats, emphasizing that a diverse microbiome is ideal, but often diminishes due to diet and antibiotic exposure.

Learn the links between oral health and systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline.

Did you know that the metal filling in your mouth essentially functions as an antenna for nnEMFs (i.e. cell phones)? That's not good for your mitochondria.  And if you have a mercury filling, did you know that every time you chew food you are causing mercury vapor to be released that you then breathe in? Think of all the deleterious effects from those two instances along.​​Every time I talk to biological dentists, I am always impressed with just how much our oral cavity impacts our entire system; and today's conversation with brother biological dentists from Smilebody, Dr. Shawn Javid and Dr. Shawn Javid, is another insightful look into how and why we need to be taking our oral hygiene and health more seriously for overall wellness.​​Countless people are dealing with brain fog, cardiac dysfunction, low back pain, hormonal issues and so much more than can be directly tied to an underlying root cause issue in their mouth that has never been considered. Many of the aforementioned issues are "patched up" with drugs, surgeries, and other modalities  — even something like red light therapy  — that may help stem the tide or provide temporary relief, but not attack the root cause of something like a cavitation, infected root canal, metal dental work in the mouth, an infected jaw bone or leaky gums.  The Javid brothers founded their renowned holistic dental practice, Smilebody, in Los Angeles where they have patients that fly in from all over the country because of their impeccable skillset as biological dentists and also because of their unique knowledge base and perspective that allows them to embody a whole-body paradigm versus treating the oral cavity in isolation. Their incorporation of effective, efficacious biohacking modalities also lends their clientele to receiving an unparalleled, comprehensive treatment. ​​If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Ben & Shawn Javid 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.

                Today's guest is Dr. Doug Thompson,  a 27 year veteran of dentistry since he graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 1996. Dr. Thompson is a teacher, researcher and trail blazer in the field of modern dentistry. Today we travel down paths that lead to explanations as to why oral health is so important to systemic and truly whole human health. We look back in time and follow a timeline to the present-day research that says that we have scientific knowledge through laboratory study that the oral microbiome, the bacteria that reside with the oral cavity, as well as the oral system's function has far reaching effects on the heart, the intestines, pregnancy and general metabolic health. Over the decades, Dr. Thompson realized that the science needed a portal to the masses and other dental professionals. Usher in the project called the Wellness Dentistry network circa 2015 which is an internet-based community of dentists with a keen awareness of how oral conditions affect whole-body health. It is a forum for Dr. Thompson and colleagues to use research to develop advanced practice ideas to thwart systemic health concerns that may arise from oral health dysfunction. On his website, Integrative Oral Medicine, Dr. Thompson states that he believes in an interdisciplinary treatment model that coordinates dental care with other medical practitioners for total body health care for his patients. He employs advanced DNA bacterial testing methods and other leading-edge dental science to enable early risk assessment and personalized treatment planning. To me this remains the future of all healthcare disciplines, collaboration, cooperation and patient centered. Let us dive into the oral cavity with Doug Thompson. Enjoy, Dr. M  

OSA is more common than you think. And as dentists, it's so important to identify this insidious condition as early as possible. Not only can it wreak havoc on your patient's teeth and gums, it can also cause serious systemic health issues for the adult, child and even newborn. Today we'll discuss integrative oral medicine and how it relates to conditions like OSA. We'll also discuss the importance of using biologically kind restorative materials that promote systemic health and predictable long-term clinical success. Our guest is Dr. Mark Cannon, a Professor of Otolaryngology, Division of Dentistry at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, and a member of the International Association of Pediatric Dentistry. In addition to maintaining a large private practice in the suburbs of Chicago, he is the Research Coordinator of the residency program at Ann and Robert Lurie Children's Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Cannon is on the Executive Board, current President (2023) and a Master Fellow of the American Academy for Oral and Systemic Health.

Constant communication between dentists and the PCPs would only enhance patients' care experience and improve their health outcomes. In this episode, Claire Levesque talks about the future state interoperability between dental and medical providers in terms of diagnostics and prevention for general health issues like cancer and sleep apnea with hosts Dr. Jonathan and Mariya. She also explains the insurance business model perspective on the connection between dentistry and general health and how to navigate that field in order to make impactful changes. Tune in and learn more about the game-changing effect the integration between dentistry and the rest of health practices could have on patients' outcomes!

Chuck Reinerston Book The Power of a Really Great Smile: What's Your Smile Costing You in Opportunities, Relationships, Health and Money Website - https://thedentalmedicalconvergence.org/ Listen to this episode on spotify, apple podcasts, google podcasts or our website. Dr. Charles Reinertsen started his dental career in 1979 after graduating from the University of Florida's College of Dentistry. He opened his family dental practice in Tavares and has been serving the dental needs of local residents for almost 40 years.  Dr. Chuck Reinertsen once thought as many Dentists do: the key to earning more was to produce more. After all, his central Florida general dental practice grew steadily since 1979; his waiting room always seemed full, and he had a loyal base of patients. What also grew steadily during the same period was his overhead.  So at the age of 61, Chuck was at a crossroads: he had not saved enough to maintain his current lifestyle in retirement. His strategy to improve his finances and hope for aggressive retirement savings growth was risky. He was betting that a significant increase in production would fill more chairs and therefore lead to a similar increase in his personal income.  All this activity would hopefully keep his overhead in check while he would divert some of that new income into his retirement savings.  While these plans for expansion were exciting, they kept the good doctor up at night. That's a lot of birds to hit with one stone, but what other options were there? Episode timestamps 2:36 - As a pioneer of talking about oral and systemic health for over 30 years, what was it like talking about these links in the early time in your career? 5:36 - What sort of systemic diseases are typically linked to oral diseases? 7:44 - How broadly has this link between systemic and oral diseases been adopted by our medical colleagues? 10:58 - What's the transition from ‘tooth mechanic' to ‘health provider' look like? 14:31 - The gateway is the new patient exam, what are you asking new patients and how are you educating them? 18:16 - In general practice, what is the awareness of all this? 24:09 - Where are some good resources for someone to find out more about dental disease and systemic disease? Quotes from this episode with Dr. Chuck Reinserston “If you feel the mouth is not part of the body, when you go to work on Monday, leave your mouth at home”  “We are not tooth mechanics, we are health care providers” “The more time you spend at home taking care of your teeth, the less time you spend in my chair” “Spend 8 to 10 minutes thoroughly cleaning your teeth” “Your reputation goes way up with those patients cause they realise that this is someone that not only cares about my teeth and my smile and my chewing, but my whole body …” “... Help people connect the dots between the infections they have in their mouth that are pain free, that affect the heart, the brain, the pancreas, the whole body” “You take care of the dental situation and their medical situation greatly improves”

Episode 24: Why should I pursue a collaborative care practice?This week, the hosts are joined by Bobbie DelSasso, RDH, BS. Bobbie DelSasso is the Executive Director of The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH). AAOSH is a non-profit organization which focuses on expanding awareness about the oral systemic connection.Bobbie DelSasso tells the hosts stories of shocking and life changing interactions with patients that caused her to begin incorporating looking at her patients' health history into her practice as a dental hygienist, and  later led her to become Executive Director of AAOSH. She discusses the power of collaborative care between physicians and dentists, and adds that every time she has seen a physician leave an AAOSH event, they've been in awe of the new information that had been provided.The team discuss the importance of finding the root cause of a disease rather than suppressing symptoms, and the simple tests that all practitioners can do that can not only improve, but save a patient's life.“If we could coordinate and work together more, there are so many peoples lives that we can change and make better just by small little things we can do.” - Bobbie DelSassoReferences:AAOSH.orgSocial Media:Instagram: @aaoshconnectTwitter: @aaoshconnectFacebook: American Academy of Oral Systemic HealthLinkedIn: American Academy of Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH)

No solution would have been found if the two of them hadn't asked “Why?”“The reality is that, as a young person, I was coping okay. I was exhausted and I didn't feel good, but I wasn't deathly ill, and people would look at me and say ‘You're fine, you're okay,” but the reality is that with airway issues, you cope, but each day it's going to get worse.” - Sydney AvisKeep asking "why?"!References:Airwaydocumentary.comAirwayrevolution.orgSocial Media:Instagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

Breathing is an essential element to life, yet often overlooked in today's world. In this episode, we discuss the importance of healthy breathing and the impact it can have on your overall health.Chronic mouth breathing can be very disruptive to one's overall health. When you breathe through your nose, it enhances your health dramatically. Are your children snoring, waking at night, or bedwetting? Are they hyperactive, depressed, anxious? Do they have congestion and allergies? These are all signs of a potential airway and breathing issue. We invite you to look for these signs and symptoms and ask for these tests.Resources- Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art (by James Nestor) - https://www.amazon.com/Breath-New-Science-Lost-Art/dp/0735213615- Mallampati Score: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-apnea/mallampati-score- Oral Myofunctional TherapyKeep asking "why?"!Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

What is a Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Test (CIMT)? It is a simple, non-invasive, ultrasound test looking at the wall of your arteries. It is one of the most important tests starting at the age of 45. Through this test, we can look for early signs of asymptomatic disease, that can eventually lead to a heart attack, stroke, or dementia.In this episode, we review the CIMT test and how it can be used to detect early signs of asymptomatic disease. We discuss root causes and the importance between medicine and dentistry.What To Look For- 1.3mm or greater- What does that area look like? It is soft or calcified plaque?Where to get a CIMT Test- The Prevent Clinic (https://thepreventclinic.com/)- Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center of Central Ohio (https://www.haspcofcentralohio.com/home)- Esthetic & Integrative Dentistry (https://estheticintegrativedentistry.com/)- BaleDoneen Method (https://baledoneen.com/provider-search/)- The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (https://www.aaosh.org/find-a-practitioner)- CardioRisk Laboratories (https://cardiorisk.com/)- Vasolabs (https://www.vasolabs.com/)Tests Mentioned in this Episode- LP-PLA2- Myeloperoxidase (MPO)- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test- Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Test (CIMT)Keep asking "why?"!Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

Stop guessing and start testing! In this episode we review the top tests to be proactive in your health. It is important to know an issue as early as possible, to prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's.In the dental office, we can test for pathogenic bacteria in your mouth that is driving chronic inflammation. By looking at dentistry as a primary provider of preventative care, you can get a more complete picture of your health.Tests mentioned in this episode:- A1c Test: tests for the 3-month average of your blood sugar, looking for insulin resistance and diabetes- Continuous glucose monitor: blood sugar response to food overtime, for 2 weeks- Blood Pressure- Sleep Study- Saliva testing for oral pathogens- CIMT test- 3D Cone Beam: anatomy of how we are breathingKeep asking "why?"!Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

Heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, and dementia are the top killers in the world today, and can shorten one's life by about 10-16 years. In the world of integrative medicine, we can predict if you are headed towards one of these devastating diseases or reverse and stabilize the disease process. In this episode, Dr. Gina Pritchard helps us understand why you may have a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, or dementia; or why you could be headed there.Categories of dementia - 5 subtypes1a - Inflammation: the driver of all disease1b - Glucose toxicity2 - Atrophic: are you getting the nutrients and adequate oxygenation your body needs3 - Vascular4 - Toxicity5 - History of traumatic brain injuryIt is never too early and never too late to ask "why?"!Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

Dr. Gina Pritchard and Patti DeMatteis discuss the oral systemic connection and diabetes. We provide insight from both the medical and dental perspective because periodontal disease and diabetes are bi-relational conditions. Insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and diabetes is often asymptomatic. With proper periodontal (gum) disease treatment, HbA1c levels can decrease. We want to empower you to know where you stand and ensure you don't progress to full diabetes. Insulin resistance is causing silent damage and is reversible! Resources:Glucometer - check your fasting blood sugar at homeOral Glucose Tolerance TestSocial MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

In this episode, we discuss the importance of the saliva test. The saliva test is a test panel that identifies the exact bacteria present in the patient's mouth. Without saliva testing, any oral antibiotic treatment used by professionals is less targeted and therefore less effective. When certain bacterial growth is not properly addressed in the mouth, it can spread through your bloodstream to other parts of your body, such as your cardiovascular system.This is why the saliva test is one powerful component of the whole body health effort. It can identify the exact bacteria that is present in the mouth and with that information, dentists can address any bacterial imbalance with precise treatment.Biofilm that starts in the mouth, if left unchecked, can grow into plaques. These plaques can travel from the mouth into the bloodstream and wreak havoc in other areas of the body like the brain, the heart, and the GI system. Medical dental-collaboration provides much more complete care.A dental team are often the gatekeepers of systemic inflammation. Dentists can identify many medical issues, but can't always provide the exact medical treatment needed without collaboration with other healthcare providers. In order to provide complete health care, a team of dental and medical practitioners is necessary."Periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes: Mechanisms" Study by Yiping W. Han, Ph.D: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32385886/"Bacterial signatures in thrombus aspirates of patients with myocardial infarction" Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23418311/The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH): https://www.aaosh.org/OSH News Network: http://oshnewsnetwork.com/Saliva TestingOralDNA: https://www.oraldna.com/MicrobeLinkDX: https://microbelinkdx.com/OraVital: https://www.oravital.com/MicroGenDX: https://microgendx.com/FidaLab: https://fidalabus.com/Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

Join our hosts for an informative discussion on the importance of having an oral systemic collaboration team. The mouth is the gateway to the body and that's why it's so beneficial to take the information we obtain during a dental exam and share it with the other medical professionals in our collaboration team. We know now that bacteria in the mouth can go beyond the mouth and into your arterial system, causing such problems as inflammation and plaque buildup in the arteries, which endangers other systems in the body, such as the heart. The health of the mouth isn't just about our teeth. It's all connected, which brings us to the topic of  inflammaging–the impact inflammation has on the aging process. Inflammaging is defined as the increase in the levels of inflammatory markers in the blood and tissue.The public drives change, and that is why it's advisable to be a proactive patient. Asking for specific diagnostics, such as a saliva test is part of taking charge of your own healthcare and maximizing the benefit of your clinic visits.Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine

In thinking about how we can take responsibility for our own health and not be dependent on others, Dr. Witt Wilkerson discusses the three eras of medicine. The first and second era of medicine is primarily focused on lifesaving medicines and procedures. This kind of care is necessary when you are sick; however, if there were guardrails in place throughout our healthcare system, we wouldn't need some of these life saving medicines and procedures. These guardrails are an illustration for the practice of preventative healthcare, this new era of medicine. Why should we wait for you to get sick in order to care for you, when we can empower you to ask the right questions and live a life free of inflammatory diseases?There is so much conflicting information in the world regarding what is best for your health. We are here to help unravel the “why” and getting this new era of medicine to move forward. Dr. Wilkerson explains the important role lifestyle plays in your health, and how your future is not all about genetics. We can uncover asymptomatic risk factors and the importance of moving these conversations into the mainstream media. We invite you to ask “why?” and to join the movement.Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine
