Dr. Joe Damiani — Doctor of Physical Therapy, TMJ and head-neck pain specialist, and founder of Physio Loops — joins Dr. Will Cole in New York for a deeply practical conversation on why chronic pain persists even when the injury has healed. Dr. Joe explains his Physio Loops framework, the three root drivers of nervous system dysregulation in pain (emotions, trust, and awareness), how to tell whether a headache is coming from the jaw or the neck, why most TMJ patients don't have a bite problem, and what actually makes people better — both in person and virtually. Plus: the occipital lift exercise, 30-minute position changes, the chair he recommends after testing 14 of them, and why consistency is the one biohack you cannot buy.

Most of us think of oral health as brushing, flossing, and avoiding cavities—but what if your mouth is actually one of the earliest windows into your overall health? In this eye-opening episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we're joined once again by holistic dentist Dr. Katie Lee, author of Saved by the Mouth, to explore the remarkable connection between oral health, fertility, hormone balance, inflammation, and even sleep. Dr. Lee explains why bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, canker sores, dry mouth, and even the shape of your tongue may be signaling much more than a dental problem. We discuss how the oral microbiome influences the entire body, including reproductive health, and why treating the mouth may be a missing piece for women struggling with infertility, endometriosis, chronic inflammation, or unexplained health concerns. We also dive into one of the most overlooked health issues affecting women: sleep-disordered breathing and sleep apnea. Dr. Lee shares why petite women are frequently overlooked, how airway health changes during perimenopause, and why symptoms like TMJ pain, anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, fatigue, and dry mouth may all point to an underlying airway issue rather than "just getting older." In this episode, you'll learn: • Why healthy gums should never bleed • What your breath, tongue, and mouth reveal about your overall health • How oral bacteria may contribute to infertility, miscarriage, endometriosis, and chronic inflammation • The surprising connection between the oral microbiome and reproductive health • Why saliva testing can identify hidden pathogens that routine dental exams often miss • The best floss, toothbrushes, water flossers, and oral care tips for optimal health • How perimenopause affects the mouth, and why estrogen plays a key role in oral health • The relationship between sleep apnea, cortisol, blood sugar, weight gain, heart health, and hormone balance • Signs you may have an airway problem, even if you don't snore • Why root-cause medicine should include evaluating the mouth This conversation will completely change the way you think about oral health. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating perimenopause, or simply looking to optimize your health, you'll discover why caring for your mouth may be one of the most powerful investments you can make for your entire body. Because your mouth isn't separate from your health, it may be the place your body has been trying to get your attention all along. Hormone Genius wants YOU to partner with us!

On today's episode, Dr. Taher Dhoon sits down with Dr. Chris Hill to talk through the systems, lessons, and real-world experience behind predictable full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Hill shares how years of cosmetics, occlusion, TMJ, and reconstruction training shaped his approach, and why having a clear, repeatable system is what helps dentists move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident with bigger cases. The conversation covers common FMR challenges like losing the bite, managing vertical dimension, deprogramming, temporaries, lab communication, case phasing, and why doctors need to lead the case instead of relying entirely on the lab. Dr. Hill also explains the importance of photography, collaboration, mentorship, and having a support system that helps clinicians implement complex dentistry more predictably in their practices.

Episode Summary Do you ever feel like you're practicing on an island, unsure of who to trust for quality CE or where to turn when you hit a wall with a complex case ? In this episode of Dental Digest, host Dr. Melissa Seibert introduces a masterclass in shifting your perspective from single-tooth dentistry to systemic health . Joining the show is Dr. Jeff Rouse, a preeminent authority on airway dentistry, prosthodontist, and Spear Education resident faculty member . Dr. Rouse completely reframes the airway conversation, arguing that most practitioners are getting it wrong by trying to force patients into prefabricated appliance boxes or focusing solely on end-stage sleep apnea . Instead, he explains why airway is fundamentally an anatomical problem . By pushing Frank Spear's facially-generated treatment planning into three dimensions—vertical, transverse, and sagittal—Dr. Rouse demonstrates how a compromised smile design is often a cry for help from an unhealthy upper airway . If you have ever bulked up veneers to camouflage a structural issue that actually required skeletal correction, this conversation will completely change how you treatment plan . Key Takeaways From This Episode Airway vs. Sleep: Why Dr. Rouse deliberately abandoned the word "sleep" in favor of "airway" back in 2008 to focus on early anatomical intervention before long-term neurological damage occurs . The Pitfalls of One-Size-Fits-All Appliances: A critical look at corporately and financially-driven prefabricated appliances in pediatric dentistry that prioritize practice profit over scientific, individualized diagnosis . The 3 Dimensions of Airway Anatomy: How the vertical, transverse, and sagittal boundaries of a traditional denture wax rim mirror the exact dimensions required for healthy nasal breathing . The Numbers Behind the Health: A look at clinical benchmarks, including Eric Doolan's research showing that a bone-to-bone palatal measurement under 30 millimeters guarantees illness, while 34 millimeters or greater promotes health . Recognizing the "Sick" Patient Typologies: The Apnea Patient: Often characterized by snoring, daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, AFib, and a lack of deep sleep required to clear brain toxins, which is closely linked to dementia and Alzheimer's . Young, Fit Patients: Toned individuals (particularly pre-menopausal women protected by progesterone) who do not exhibit apnea but suffer heavily from functional somatic syndromes like chronic fatigue, IBS, fibromyalgia, migraines, and TMJ disorders . Pediatric Patients: Growing children whose airway deficiencies directly correlate with ADHD and ADD diagnoses, yet are routinely given medications rather than a proper breathing and sleep evaluation . Anatomy Wins the Day: Why normalizing skeletal and dentoalveolar housing should always be the priority, ensuring patients finish treatment not only healthier but with beautiful faces, perfect bites, and stunning smiles . Featured Guest Dr. Jeff Rouse is a prosthodontist in private practice in San Antonio, Texas, and a member of the resident faculty at Spear Education . He previously practiced alongside dental icons Dr. Greg Kinzer and Dr. Frank Spear in Seattle . Dr. Rouse is the co-author of the textbook Global Diagnosis: A New Vision of Dental Diagnosis and Treatment Planning alongside Dr. Bill Robbins, and he lectures internationally on dental aesthetics and airway prosthodontics .

80% of us will have TMJ in our lives, often being unaware that is the cause of our health issues. In this episode, we talk about:—How TMJ is one of the joints that gives feedback to the brain about where the body is, giving it a global effect on the body. And how your jaw actually contains a disc.—The surprising emotional effect of the jaw due to a nerve that goes directly to the brain's emotional center. (It's why the jaw tightens when you get tense or nervous.)—Why TMJ is connected to suicides, and the amazing story that inspired Dr. Prather to get involved in treating TMJ even as a student.—How you MUST have the Atlas (the first vertebrae in your neck) properly aligned in order to fix TMJ. And how TMJ causes pelvis, shoulder, and elbow problems.—How TMJ is a major cause of unresolved headaches, and how Dr. Prather usually knows the source of headaches just hearing the patient describe them in the consultation.—The gentle adjustment techniques Dr. Prather invented himself for TMJ that feel like a "puff of air" to the patient.—Why Acupuncture is extremely helpful in relieving TMJ, especially in helping inflammation and with "immediate results".—How Auriculotherapy (micro-current stimulation of ear Acupuncture points) is "the most proven treatment in the entire world" and how it helps long-term TMJ patients.—That lymphatic congestion connects to TMJ and vertigo issues. And how short-wave Diathermy helps drain lymphatic congestion.—The exercises you can do to help TMJ. And what you should do when you wake up in the morning to release the jaw muscle. Plus, the supplements helpful for TMJ.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
Most dentists inherit one model. See more patients. Add more operatories. Push production higher. Dr. Allison House ran inside that model across seven practices before she opened her own. Then she walked away from it on purpose.In Episode 113 of The Authentic Dentist podcast, Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas open the debate few dental conversations touch head on. Is high-volume, high-efficiency dentistry serving your patients, or quietly failing them?EPISODE OVERVIEWThis is a clinical and business breakdown of high-volume versus high-touch dentistry. Dr. House does not argue the volume model fails to make money. She concedes it makes plenty. Her concern goes deeper. When you give a person five minutes, you miss things. The bite already off. The TMJ that turns a routine filling into years of pain. The patient who swears they are allergic to anesthetic when the real cause is three nicotine pouches cutting off blood flow.The through line of the episode is simple and overlooked. Listening is not a soft skill. Listening is a clinical skill. It is how you find the part of the story that explains why the dentistry keeps failing.Shawn brings the business and branding lens from months of interviews with Comfort Dental doctors and a sit-down with founder Rick Kushner. He makes the case for where high volume serves underserved patients well, and where the incentives turn dangerous. Both hosts name the ethics fault line directly, from missed diagnoses to Medicaid cases where children receive crowns on every tooth with no evidence of need.If you are weighing a sustainable dental practice model, sorting through dental practice leadership decisions, or rethinking success in dentistry beyond production numbers, this conversation gives you language for the choice. The resolution is not a single right answer. It is alignment. Build the practice that fits how you are wired, and stop measuring your work against someone else's stage number.QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE"A crown is not a crown, is not a crown." - Dr. Allison House"I think it's just a mistake to spend five minutes with somebody, diagnose them, and send them on their way. You're missing too many things." - Dr. Allison House"There's eight billion people. It's possible there's a place for everyone." - Dr. Allison HouseKEY TAKEAWAYSProduction per day and quality over ten years are different metrics. Decide which one you are optimizing.Listening is a diagnostic tool, not a courtesy. The missed story is usually where the failed dentistry comes from.High volume is a real service for the right population and the right dentist. Be honest about who you serve.Watch the incentive. When attention drops, patients get hurt, and the production report will not warn you.Build the practice that fits your wiring. The fastest path to dentist burnout is a model that fights who you are.ABOUT THE HOSTSDr. Allison House is a practicing dentist with more than 24 years of experience and the clinical voice of The Authentic Dentist podcast. She runs comprehensive, relationship-driven care and brings the day-to-day reality of leading a values-led practice. Her work centers on ethical practice, patient advocacy, and treating the whole person in the chair.Shawn Zajas is a dental marketing and branding expert and the entrepreneurial voice of the show. He helps dental professionals find their authentic voice in dentistry and build brands rooted in who they are.

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde speaks with Dr. Robert B. Kerstein (DMD), a pioneer in computerized bite analysis and digital occlusal technology, about how dentistry can move beyond subjective guesswork toward more precise, data-driven treatment. What does a patient's bite reveal about TMJ symptoms, headaches, prosthesis failure, and overall comfort? Why does much of dentistry still rely on outdated methods when real-time digital measurements are available? And how can tools like T-Scan help clinicians improve outcomes while reducing treatment time?Dr. Kerstein earned his D.M.D. in 1983 and his Prosthodontic certificate in 1985 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he later served as a clinical professor of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics for 13 years. Beginning in 1984, he has studied every generation of T-Scan technology, from the original T-Scan 1 to the current T-Scan 10 Novus, and over the past four decades has become the leading authority in Computerized Occlusal Analysis. He has published extensively in leading dental journals and edited nine research volumes on T-Scan applications. A pioneer and academic advocate for digital occlusal technology, Dr. Kerstein teaches a measured, data-driven approach that improves bite-related treatment outcomes, enhances patient comfort, reduces prosthesis failure and remakes, and shortens overall treatment time.

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.

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.

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. It is hosted in the US and does not store, sell, or share any data on users or their communications, thereby allowing people to communicate securely without the threat of cancellation or interference by big tech or other outside influences. He resides in Charleston, SC with his wife, Beverly, and they have 4 grown sons.

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.

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.

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.

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.
