In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Gene Sambataro, a biological dentist with over 40 years of experience, to explore how oral health is deeply connected to whole-body health. He explains how issues in the mouth—such as microbiome imbalance, mercury fillings, fluoride exposure, and toxic root canals—can contribute to systemic disease and chronic inflammation. The conversation dives into airway-focused dentistry, including narrow jaws, TMJ dysfunction, teeth grinding, Malampati scores, and how these factors relate to sleep-disordered breathing and conditions like sleep apnea. Dr. Sambataro also breaks down modern diagnostic tools like 3D cone beam imaging and sleep studies, along with practical approaches such as oral appliances, breathing techniques, and addressing hypoxia. He closes by emphasizing critical thinking in health care, the importance of restoring proper breathing during sleep, and integrating advanced regenerative and biohacking tools into dentistry for long-term wellness.Dr. Gene Sambataro has been practicing dentistry for over 40 years with a focus on orthodontics, dental orthopedics, TMJ disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, cosmetic/facial aesthetics, toxic-free dentistry, and ceramic implantology. He graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1980, completed a hospital residency in Baltimore, and transitioned into private practice where he quickly adopted a more holistic, integrative approach to dentistry. He is a leading advocate of biological dentistry, emphasizing the connection between oral health and systemic disease and promoting toxin-free approaches such as avoiding mercury amalgams, fluoride, and toxic root canals. He trained with Dr. Hal Huggins early in his career and continues to follow the Huggins Protocol in his clinical practice. His professional affiliations include multiple dental and integrative medicine organizations, along with training in sleep medicine and TMJ therapies, and he is also an author and ongoing student of advanced scientific and regenerative fields. Outside of dentistry, he incorporates biohacking and healing technologies into his practice, has been married for 45 years to his wife Cindy, while also holding advanced martial arts black belts in Taijitsu and Ninjitsu.SHOW NOTES:0:38 Welcome to the show!3:13 About Dr. Sambataro4:02 Welcome him to the podcast!5:28 Does high blood pressure start in the mouth?7:13 Issues with mouthwash9:31 Root causes of a poor microbiome13:47 Specialized medicine & Oral Physicians18:08 How the mouth is a window into the body20:02 Narrow jaw & crowded teeth21:23 Teeth grinding & appliances23:59 Malampati scores24:30 3D Cone Beam 26:30 Solutions for airway issues30:35 Cone Beam 101 & Why you would get one35:47 Sleep studies43:40 Sleep-disordered breathing48:27 Health risks of hypoxia & sleep apnea49:45 What to do with “moderate” issues54:39 Breathing techniques for sleep apnea57:42 Garage analogy59:12 Vitamin O1:00:33 Critical thinking & AI1:05:55 His final piece of advice1:07:32 The Julian Center 1:08:20 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: The Julian CenterIG: @julian_dentistIG: @drgenesambataroFacebook: The Julian CenterBook: Stop the SnoreBook: Your Guide to Holistic Dental ImplantsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

What if one of the most overlooked muscles in your body has been quietly shaping your posture, breathing, sleep, jaw tension, nervous system—and maybe even the way your face develops? In this episode, I'm asking you to stop for one second and notice something most people never think about: where is your tongue resting right now? It sounds simple, but once I started going down this rabbit hole, I realized it changes how we think about health in a much bigger way.   I'm unpacking the surprising role tongue posture plays in airway health, mouth breathing, sleep, headaches, TMJ, nervous system regulation, and even childhood development. We'll connect the dots between symptoms that often feel unrelated and explore why this “small muscle” may deserve a lot more respect than it gets. If you've ever dealt with fatigue, jaw clenching, poor sleep, crowded teeth, chronic congestion—or you're raising kids and wondering what's really upstream of behavior and development—this conversation is going to make you think differently.   If this episode gave you a new perspective, I'd love for you to rate, follow, review, and share the podcast with someone who might need to hear this conversation—especially someone dealing with snoring, jaw tension, mouth breathing, or sleep struggles. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you in the next episode.   Check out The Mind Mouth Body SHIFT Method -- https://shereewertz.com/academy   Book a consultation today: I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

In this episode Debbie Waidl, Migraine Freedom Expert and Functional Health Coach, breaks down the real connection between TMJ disorders and migraines, why the mouthguard is not fixing the underlying problem, and what addressing the root cause actually looks like for women who have been cycling through dental treatments without lasting relief. If you caught last week's episode on cervicogenic headaches, this one picks up exactly where that left off. In this episode: What the trigeminal nerve has to do with both your jaw and your migraines Why 85% of women with TMJ disorders also report headaches and what that number actually means How jaw inflammation triggers the same central sensitization driving your migraines Why the mouthguard manages the symptom but never addresses the source What actually changes when the inflammation load is addressed at the root Ready to understand what is actually driving your symptoms?

We've all heard about how mouth breathing can affect kids — but what about adults?Dr. Hilary Fritsch, an airway-focused biological dentist and Montana's premier Toothpillow provider, uncovers one of the most overlooked health crises of our time — exposing why your TMJ, neck pain, low libido, and hormone issues may all trace back to how you breathe. She reveals why modern humans are developing smaller jaws and skyrocketing rates of sleep apnea, and exactly what you can do to reverse the damage at any age.

Dentists often keep operating beliefs long after the market, technology, and patient expectations have changed. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with recurring guest Dr. Tom Hedge, practicing dentist and educator, to unpack myths dentists still believe — from selling to DSOs and misunderstanding recap/valuation, to overestimating the cost and complexity of modern technology, imaging, magnification, and hygiene staffing. You'll learn how to rethink “rules of thumb,” evaluate DSO offers more clearly, adopt practical tech that improves diagnosis and case acceptance, and use education and community to stay adaptable. Listen to Episode 1052 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Dentists often assume what worked ten years ago will keep working, even when costs, fees, and alternatives have changed.DSO deals can break down when recapitalization happens and cheap money is no longer cheap, shrinking what DSOs can “skim” between dentist pay and profitability.A “second bite of the apple” payout is not guaranteed, and dentists can lose value if the DSO is not financially strong when the holdback comes due.Technology prices and workflows have changed dramatically, and many tools (cameras, scanners, digital X-rays) now deliver faster diagnosis and better patient understanding.Patient imaging can be created quickly using AI tools, which can help patients visualize outcomes and move forward without high-pressure selling.Magnification and hands-free lighting can simplify clinical work, reduce operatory clutter, and improve the patient experience compared to traditional overhead lights.Investing in continuing education moves dentists from “not knowing what you don't know” to confident clinical decision-making, but learning never stops.Snippets:00:00 Welcome And Setup02:04 Why Myths Persist02:38 Rethinking Fees03:42 DSO Big Check Myth05:31 Recap And EBITDA08:19 Independent Dentistry Future09:39 Tech Costs Myth12:59 Hands Free Operatory Tech13:50 AI Smile Imaging Fast15:58 Magnification Lighting Simplified17:33 Hygiene Crisis Reframed19:27 Education And Community20:35 SmileSource Exchange Invite22:09 Final Takeaways GoodbyeGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Dr. Tom Hedge is widely known as one of the top-notch cosmetic dentists in the United States.

Welcome to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #Podcast. Today - Dr. John Reese - CEO of Quanta - is our guest Dr. John E. Reese, III grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. He graduated from The Citadel, The Military College of SC, in 1984, where he was commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force before attending dental school. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from the Medical University of SC in 1988, after which he had a 4- year assignment as a staff general dentist in one of the largest teaching hospitals in the US Air Force. There he received extensive training in all specialty areas of dentistry, including frequent operating room training. In 1992, he started a health centered private practice in Rock Hill, SC where he focused on comprehensive general and cosmetic dentistry, including full mouth reconstruction and TMJ therapy.  In 2001, he started Dental Access Carolina, LLC where he used his skills to provide high quality comprehensive dentistry to economically disadvantaged children on site at their schools in mobile clinics he designed. They currently operate in 15 counties in SC and treat almost 25,000 students each school year. They take a free enterprise approach to a public health problem where everyone wins, and where the highest quality care is provided to those who can least afford it. Because of the success of his program, it has been recognized nationally as the model for mobile dentistry by the Academy of General Dentistry. He now has a minority interest in the practice he started.   Dr. Reese also provides consulting advice on general practice management. In 2002, Dr. Reese began manufacturing and marketing mobile dental clinics and temporary dental offices which are sold and used internationally. In 2008, he created Dental Access Mobile Clinics, LLC as a separate entity and his clinics have also been used as adjunct teaching facilities by the Medical University of SC for their dental students, where he was an adjunct clinical instructor. Dr. Reese and his wife frequently volunteer with and provide significant financial support to organizations that provide dental and medical care to patients both here and abroad, and they teach clinical techniques to dentists around the world.  They also donate very generously to many conservative organizations. They are very actively engaged in helping organizations communicate their message to allow citizens to be involved in the decisions which affect their lives every day. Outside of his medical and dental entrepreneurial interests, he has a passion for preserving the fabric of the American society that he has enjoyed during his lifetime that made America the greatest country on earth. He and a group of innovators created the Quanta Enterprise Comms www.quantasure.com  which is the only commercially available secure communications platform that deploys Quantum Resistant Encryption to “future proof” all forms of communication against the threat of attacks by quantum computers.

In this returning episode of The Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis (The Concussion Coach) reconnects with Sharik Peck and Katyrra Larson to explore the latest developments with the Rezzimax PainTuner—an external vagus nerve stimulator that uses gentle resonance (in the frequency range of a cat's purr) to calm the nervous system. Sharik shares exciting updates, including a new Philippines-based study using the device to help breast cancer patients manage stress, pain, and GI dysfunction, as well as ongoing TMJ research in the US. The conversation dives into innovative applications of the tool: a new mouthpiece attachment for cranial nerve stimulation (helping a brain-injured patient regain speech and focus), and scraping techniques that combine vibration with myofascial release. Katyrra provides practical calming strategies for acute anxiety and startle responses (including humming with the tongue between the teeth). Sharik also shares a powerful trauma release protocol (Stress Down Regulation/Resilience program) that combines breathing, flexor engagement, and sensory input to help the brain reorganize traumatic memories—a protocol that does not require the device but is accelerated by it. The episode emphasizes nervous system regulation as the cornerstone of concussion recovery, and Bethany shares her personal enthusiasm for the tool, including a listener discount and money-back guarantee.Resources Mentioned by the GuestsRezzimax PainTuner (and the "Mini" version)Rezzimax Mouthpiece Attachment (for oral/cranial nerve stimulation)Recipes (Protocols) Library – Found on the Rezzimax website (video + written steps)Whole Body De-Stress rezzipe: https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-whole-body-destressStress Down Regulation / Resilience program (trauma release): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-stress-down-regulationMoro reflex protocol (for startle response): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-primitive-reflexes-moro-startle-reflexRezzimax YouTube Channel – Contains the trauma release presentation and all instructional videos https://www.youtube.com/@RezzimaxDiscussed Practitioners & Concepts:Dr. James Sheen & Dr. Edward Chauvin – protocols for addressing dormant fungi/molds/virusesDr. Sean Drake – breathwork for high-level performersAndrew Byrne – work with "singing athletes" and cranial nervesGua sha & Astym (scraping techniques enhanced with vibration)Contact & Discount Information from the ConversationRezzimax Purchase & Discount Code: https://rezzimax.com/?ref=BethanyLewis Use code BethanyLewis in the discount section for $75 offRezzimax Money-Back Guarantee: Available if you try it and don't love itPrevious Episodes Referenced: Episode 47 (Sharik alone) and Episode 76 (Sharik & Katira)RezziMax Website & Recipe Access:  rezzimax.com Trauma Release Protocol Location: RezziMax website → Recipes → Emotional Clearing → "Stress Down Regulation or Resilience program"Previous episodes with Sharik peck:1.

Addressing the potential training and developmental shortfalls of a side pull vs a bit. Many riders believe that encouraging horses to chew on bits is essential for their well-being. But what if a quiet mouth — rather than constant chewing — signals true comfort and softness? In this short episode, renowned trainer Mark Langley busts the myth that chewing is good for health. He unpacks the real connection between the horse's jaw, the TMJ, and emotional tension, revealing why a relaxed jaw doesn't necessarily mean the horse is actively chewing.  Understand horsemanship to a deep level with Mark's Online Membership: try it for free

In this episode, Ash and Dusty discuss the important topic of when worsening ADHD symptoms may actually be caused or worsened by other physiological or medical conditions. They explore how hormonal changes related to PMS, PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause can significantly impact cognition, mood, and executive function. Dusty shares her personal experience with PMDD and how medication has been life-changing in managing symptoms that overlap with ADHD but require different treatment approaches. They also highlight other health issues such as anemia, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), hypermobility disorders like Ehlers-Danlos, TMJ, migraines, and sleep disruptions that can mimic or exacerbate ADHD symptoms. The hosts emphasize the importance of recognizing these co-occurring or separate conditions and how ADHD coaching can support managing them by focusing on follow-through, executive functioning, and problem-solving rather than "coaching out" chronic illness itself. Ash and Dusty encourage listeners to advocate for themselves with healthcare providers, get regular checkups, and explore potential underlying causes when symptoms suddenly worsen. They also caution against dismissing new or worsening symptoms as just ADHD and stress the value of integrated care between medical treatment and coaching to improve overall functioning and quality of life.

In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT welcome back Dr. Shin Beh for a deeper conversation on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular migraine, Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), and Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS).These conditions can overlap, feel confusing, and leave patients feeling stuck in their recovery. Dr. Beh breaks down how he differentiates these diagnoses clinically, why vestibular migraine can precipitate PPPD symptoms, and how treatment plans need a whole-person approach. Treatment plans may combine lifestyle optimization strategies, vestibular rehabilitation, medication or supplements, neuromodulation, stress management, and more... and should absolutely be individualized. Whether you're living with chronic dizziness or treating patients with vestibular disorders, this episode offers a practical, compassionate look at why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.Episode Resources: www.vestibularmd.comDr. Beh's Books: www.vestibularmd.com/about-dr-beh/booksHosted by:

When is it appropriate to consider an MRI for your TMD patient? What's actually involved in MRI of the TMJ? Can you use any MRI machine, or is the choice of imaging center crucial? And who should be reporting on these scans — does it really matter? (Hint: yes, it does!) Dr. Kevin Lotzof, a straight-talking radiologist, joins Jaz for a controversial deep dive into the role of MRI in Temporomandibular Disorders. While many experts downplay its importance, Kevin argues that TMJs are under-imaged and under-diagnosed — and that we may be missing critical pathology. They explore the practicalities of imaging, how to set expectations with your patients, and why strong but differing views in TMD care can ultimately help you refine your own clinical approach. https://youtu.be/-yo_Qx4Zg5Q Watch PDP265 on YouTube  Protrusive Dental Pearl: Adopt the mindset of “Find the cancer today.”When carrying out examinations—whether soft tissue or extraoral—approach it with the intention of detecting oral or skin cancers early. This mindset helps clinicians look beyond just teeth, catch unusual or suspicious lesions, and potentially save lives. Key Takeaways TMJ is often overlooked but is crucial for overall health. MRI is essential for accurate TMJ diagnosis. Cone beam CT cannot replace MRI for TMD assessment. Patients with headaches may have undiagnosed TMD. Education on TMJ imaging is lacking among dental professionals. Asymptomatic patients should still be scanned for TMJ issues. The quality of imaging directly impacts diagnosis accuracy. Patients often feel anxious about MRI procedures. Understanding patient perspectives can improve care. There is a need for better collaboration between dentists and radiologists.

You can do everything “right” and still wake up exhausted, headachy, and foggy and it might not be menopause at all. We're pulling back the curtain on obstructive sleep apnea in women over 50, a condition that's massively underdiagnosed because many women don't fit the stereotype of loud snoring and obvious pauses in breathing.I'm joined by my personal physician, Dr. Cannon, a dentist with deep training in dental sleep medicine, to explain what's really happening in the body at night. We talk about why the tongue is often the hidden driver of airway collapse during REM sleep, how women can subconsciously fight to keep their airway open, and why that “fight” can show up as TMJ pain, teeth grinding, neck tension, reflux, and morning migraines. We also dig into why oxygen saturation drops matter for brain health and cardiovascular risk, even when sleep apnea is labelled mild.We compare common treatment paths, including CPAP, Inspire, and oral appliance therapy, and Dr. Cannon walks through how a custom dental device gently brings the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open. You'll also hear how home sleep testing has changed the game, making it easier to get real answers without an overnight lab stay. Finally, we unpack the two-way link between sleep apnea and weight gain through stress hormones like cortisol, and where GLP medications fit into the bigger picture.If you've been blaming “this stage of life” for relentless fatigue, this conversation can help you spot the real signs and take action.

In this episode of Digital Dentist Digest, Dr. Melissa Seibert welcomes Dr. Natalia Trahan, Assistant Professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, for a deep and clinically relevant conversation on the relationship between systemic disease and oral health.   Dr. Trahan specializes in oral medicine, pathology, and radiology, with a strong focus on the intersection of oral and systemic disease. Together, they discuss how conditions like Sjögren's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome can present first in the dental office—often before a formal medical diagnosis is made.   This episode explores practical diagnostic strategies for identifying oral manifestations of autoimmune disease, including xerostomia, hyposalivation, chronic parotitis, recurrent candidiasis, increased caries risk, TMJ degeneration, trismus, hypermobility disorders, and inflammatory arthritis involving the temporomandibular joint. Dr. Trahan explains how she evaluates these patients clinically, what radiographic findings matter most, and when advanced imaging like MRI becomes essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.   The conversation also addresses the emotional and clinical complexity of treating patients with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Dr. Trahan shares how empathy, patient advocacy, and a deeper understanding of autoimmune and rheumatic disease can transform the way dentists approach patient care and prevent provider burnout.   For general dentists, restorative dentists, and clinicians interested in oral medicine, this episode offers actionable insight into how better understanding systemic disease leads to better dentistry. If you want to improve diagnosis, strengthen interdisciplinary care, and become a more comprehensive provider, this is an episode you won't want to miss.  

In today's episode, we conclude our journey through the Chapters by discussing extremity corrections.  This will include elbow, wrist, feet, and even the TMJ.  The book concludes by demonstrating the importance of non-spinal subluxations and their corrections.

Is it possible to reclaim your peace of mind through the power of gentle touch and tapping? What if you could learn simple, self-applied techniques to soothe your nervous system in minutes?   In this episode, we explore the bridge between traditional Eastern wisdom and modern somatic insights to unlock new pathways for healing. Dr. Adriana is joined by Mitsuko Ito, a licensed massage therapist and certified trainer in Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT), EFT tapping, and Havening Techniques. Mitsuko shares her vulnerable journey of healing from complex PTSD and how she discovered powerful, self-help tools that transformed her life.

Decoding Havening: Exploring how specific touch patterns can de-link traumatic memories from emotional distress through the creation of delta waves. The Body's Energetic Entry Points: How massage therapy and meridian charts revealed the overlap between physical tension and emotional stagnation. Global Impact of TTT: The work of the Peaceful Heart Network in providing trauma relief to conflict zones and refugees. Simplifying Somatic Tools: Why "simple" is often more effective than "complex" when the brain is in a survival state.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Mitsuko's website: https://DecaturTMJ.com  Peaceful Heart Network (TTT): peacefulheart.se Havening Techniques: havening.org EFT International: eftinternational.org How emotional/energetic stagnation may be connected to TMJ issues or chronic pain: https://eftuniverse.com/pain-management/eft-for-temporomandibular-joint-dysfunction/   About Mitsuko: Mitsuko is a licensed massage therapist and certified trainer in TTT Tapping, EFT Tapping, and Havening Techniques, and a frequent workshop presenter on college campuses. Mitsuko's work bridges traditional Eastern wisdom with modern insights into emotion and psychology, focusing on simple, practical strategies that anyone can use. The goal is to make powerful neuro-regulation tools accessible so people can experience more clarity, connection, and consciousness.   “I would highly recommend training in EFT, tapping or Havening, because that's how I was able to help myself.” – Mitsuko   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

In this episode, Howard Farran sits down with Dr. William Cliff, practicing endodontist and Founder and CEO of Asesso Health. With over 28 years of clinical experience, Dr. Cliff shares how repeated frustration with undiagnosed TMJ and bruxism patients led him to create a first-of-its-kind integrated solution — combining a dentist-designed grind guard, a proprietary sensor module, and a mobile app that tracks grinding intensity, sleep quality, and jaw pain over time. The conversation explores the gap between tooth pain and jaw pain, why traditional night guards fail patients, and how real-time data is changing the way dentists and patients approach treatment and accountability.   Episode #1694 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard sits down with Dr. William Cliff — endodontist, founder, and CEO of Asesso Health — to talk about one of dentistry's most underserved problems: TMJ and bruxism. After 28 years of watching patients struggle with ineffective night guards and undiagnosed jaw pain, Dr. Cliff built something new — the first integrated solution that tracks real-time grinding data and measurable improvement over time.

In this essential conversation, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes pelvic health physical therapist and dance science expert Dr. Brooke Winder to explore the often-hidden intersection of pelvic health, performance, and joint hypermobility. Dr. Winder shares her professional insights and personal history with urinary leakage as a young athlete, shedding light on why over a third of professional dancers and aerialists experience similar symptoms. The discussion unpacks the "hypermobility paradox", where muscles become chronically overactive to compensate for lax ligaments, and how this tension can lead to pelvic pain, incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. From the impact of under-fueling (REDs) to the surprising connection between jaw tension and the pelvic floor, this episode provides a roadmap for athletes and non-athletes alike to "zoom out" and find holistic strategies for recovery and resilience. Takeaways: The Hypermobility Paradox: People with lax connective tissue often have hyperactive pelvic floor muscles that work overtime to provide the stability their ligaments cannot. Prevalence in Performance: Around 34% of professional dancers and 40% of aerialists report urinary leakage, even those who have never been pregnant or given birth. The "Zoom Out" Method: Pelvic health is influenced by the entire body; issues in the jaw (TMJ), neck, and hips can directly contribute to pelvic floor tension and pain. REDs and Incontinence: Low energy availability (under-fueling) can weaken skeletal muscles, including the pelvic floor, and is now recognized as a health consequence of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. Autonomic Influence: The pelvic floor is highly responsive to the nervous system; conditions like POTS can trigger bladder urgency and disrupt coordination. Agency in Therapy: Pelvic floor PT does not always require an internal exam; many improvements can be made through external assessment, virtual coaching, and movement strategies Find the episode transcript here.

Dentistry in NYC is changing, and in Tribeca, there's a little hidden gem. I sat down with Cody Levine, and honestly, this conversation felt like stepping into what dentistry could be when it's done differently. We talked about the kind of journey that doesn't look linear. From doing dentistry under a cellphone light on mission trips to building one of the most intentional, beautifully designed practices in Tribeca, NYC. The story shared is a vision that materialized and is making a change in how patients see dentistry.  And I'll be honest… if I didn't live in Toronto, I'd be in New York. And if I were in New York, I'd probably be picking up a shift or two at Smile House. That's how aligned this philosophy feels with how we also practice at Toothlife Studio.  What Cody and his team are building is a complete shift in how we think about care, moving away from quick fixes and toward something comprehensive, collaborative, interdisciplinary and way rooted in the connection between oral and systemic health.  This episode shows you what can happen when you stop treating teeth in isolation and start treating people as a whole. Sign it with me..."Head, shoulders, knees and toes." In this episode, we yap about: ▪️ The journey from mobile dental units to creating a modern, tech-driven dental practice in New York ▪️ Why dentistry is shifting toward a mouth-body connection instead of isolated treatments ▪️ The four pillars of care: esthetics, structure, function, and biology—and how they change patient assessment ▪️ How advanced diagnostics and collaboration between specialists improve patient outcomes ▪️ Real patient cases involving TMJ, airway issues, sleep improvement, and recovery from past dental experiences ▪️ How to educate patients who come in expecting “just a cleaning” and shift their understanding of oral health ▪️ The challenges of running a modern dental practice and continuously improving both clinically and as a leader.  Connect with the Smile House Squad:  https://www.smilehouse.co/  https://www.instagram.com/smilehousetribeca/  https://www.instagram.com/codymarclevine/    If you made it all the way down here, hit a like and share a comment.  Until next time, Peace out peeps! ✌️ _______________________________________

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this powerful conversation, I sit down with one of our BreakAwake coaches, Lynette. Her story is a profound example of what can happen when we stop chasing endless cures and begin addressing the emotional roots of chronic pain. Lynette spent years living on high alert, believing she was simply someone destined to suffer. Frequent illness, skin infections, TMJ, anxiety, pelvic pain, scoliosis, and eventually debilitating ischial bursitis left her feeling like her life was shrinking before her eyes. Even with supportive medical care and physical therapy, relief was always temporary and new symptoms seemed to appear in their place. When she was introduced to JournalSpeak through a Sarno x Sachs–certified mentor, something finally shifted. With guidance and support, Lynette began to explore the emotional patterns and trauma underlying her symptoms and discovered that true healing was possible. Just months later, Lynette's life looks entirely different. The woman who once felt she was merely enduring life is now actively engaging with it again. She is traveling, exercising, sitting pain-free, climbing stairs, volunteering, and reconnecting with the joy of everyday living. In this episode, Lynette shares the vulnerable details of her journey—from medical trauma and years of searching for answers to the moment she finally felt safe enough to face the emotions her body had been expressing. Her story is a beautiful reminder that the nervous system can change, healing is possible even after years of suffering, and sometimes the right mentor and the right tools arrive exactly when we're ready for them.

Introduction Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects millions of people worldwide, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood disorders in medicine. Patients often experience widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive difficulties, and a host of other symptoms that significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.  TJ: It's common, but I feel it is mostly misunderstood and sometimes goes undiagnosed. Reitta: Yes, despite its prevalence, fibromyalgia has historically been met with skepticism, delayed diagnosis, and stigma. Today, we'll break down what fibromyalgia is, what we know about its underlying mechanisms, how it's diagnosed, and how it's managed using evidence-based approaches. What is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, non-restorative sleep, cognitive dysfunction often referred to as “fibro/brain fog,” and mood disturbances. TJ: Unlike inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia does not cause structural damage to joints or muscles, nor does it produce objective findings on imaging or routine laboratory testing. Instead, it is considered a centralized pain disorder, meaning pain processing within the central nervous system is altered. Arreaza: Many years ago, I had a patient who had fibromyalgia in Germany. He shared how hard it was for him to get diagnosed and treated because many countries fail to recognize fibromyalgia as a disease. However, Germany is not one of them. The German Association of the Medical Scientific Societies (AWMF) has established specific diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Also, the World Health Organization recognizes fibromyalgia as a chronic condition, and it is included in the International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (ICD-10). Reitta: The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recognizes fibromyalgia as a distinct clinical diagnosis, affecting approximately 2–4% of the population, with a higher prevalence in women, though it can affect individuals of any sex or age. Historical Perspective Fibromyalgia was once referred to by terms such as fibrositis, a name that implied inflammation of connective tissue. However, as research failed to demonstrate inflammatory changes, the terminology evolved. In 1990, the American College of Rheumatology introduced the first formal diagnostic criteria, which focused heavily on tender point examination. Over time, these criteria were revised as understanding of the condition improved. Modern diagnostic criteria no longer rely on tender points and instead emphasize symptom severity and widespread pain distribution, reflecting a more patient-centered and clinically practical approach. What causes fibromyalgia? The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, but current evidence supports a multifactorial, neurobiological model. The American Academy of Family Physicians identifies a spectrum of chronic overlapping pain conditions that frequently coexist with fibromyalgia, including IBS, TMJ pain, vulvodynia, Chronic fatigue syndrome, interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, chronic tension headaches, migraine, and chronic low back pain. These functional somatic conditions may represent a single disorder manifesting as pain in different body regions at different times over the life span. _____________________ References: Aaron RV, Ravyts SG, Carnahan ND,et al.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions Should You Accept a Fibromyalgia Diagnosis? Evidence-Based Response to “Don't Accept Fibro” ClaimsDr. Michael Lenz reacts to a naturopath's claim that fibromyalgia is “not an acceptable diagnosis,” acknowledging that patients often feel invisible and that fibromyalgia is diagnosed by symptoms after ruling out other conditions, but arguing this does not make it illegitimate. He explains fibromyalgia as a nociplastic/central sensitization pain syndrome supported by evidence such as amplified pain signaling on functional neuroimaging, disrupted deep sleep, neurotransmitter differences, and overlap with conditions like IBS, chronic fatigue, migraines, and TMJ. He critiques functional-medicine claims that fibro is primarily due to mold toxicity, food sensitivities, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, or mitochondrial dysfunction, noting limited or debunked evidence and potential harm from chasing costly “root causes.” He outlines evidence-based, multimodal management: restorative sleep, gentle aerobic exercise and pacing, CBT/pain reprocessing and neuroscience education, addressing ADHD/autism/anxiety, and medications such as SNRIs and gabapentinoids.00:00 Why This Reaction01:04 Naturopath Claim Setup02:07 Invisible Illness Explained03:12 What She Gets Right07:31 Why Rejecting Is Harmful07:49 Real Science Of Fibro08:39 Functional Triggers List09:04 Gut Microbiome Claims13:39 Debunking Pseudodiagnoses15:05 Evidence Based Treatment Plan17:46 Should You Accept Diagnosis18:50 Closing Takeaways Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.
