Hello friends! I am SO excited to share this week’s episode with Biological Dentist Tony Engramand this one is really eye-opening. We dive deep into the powerful connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body—and how what happens in your mouth could affect your hormones, immune system, brain, and more.

We talk about hidden dental infections, root canals, sealants, respiratory health, jaw development, cavitation and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms.
