Your mouth is connected to every system in your body — nothing placed in your teeth stays “just in your teeth.”

Metals, mercury fillings, and certain cements can release particles or chemicals that add to inflammation and toxic load over time.

At the Biological Center for Dentistry, we choose biocompatible, non-toxic materials and focus on whole-body health with every treatment.

Fishcuterie: the charcuterie upgrade we all needed

Alright guys, here’s what I put together for brunch for my family today — all simple foods that love your gut, your gums, and your whole-body health.

I made this with my sweet friend Martha We’re both aligned when it comes to staying on track with wellness, and everything on this board works together in the most beautiful way.

🐟 Sardines
Packed with omega-3s — powerful anti-inflammatories that support your gums, your brain, and even your airway.

🥒 Fermented veggies
Pickled cabbage, carrots, real pickles — full of natural probiotics to strengthen your gut microbiome.

🌱 Radishes & lettuce
More than crunch… they’re loaded with minerals and act as prebiotics, feeding the good bacteria so the probiotics can actually work.

🥚 Eggs + our chimichurri
Garlic, parsley, dill, raw pistachio — an incredible mix of minerals and healthy fats that nourish your teeth and bone structure.

🥯 Optional sourdough bagel
Because it’s fermented, it’s easier to digest and gives you that steady, soluble fiber that keeps blood sugar balanced.

Healthy fats. Probiotics. Prebiotics. Minerals. Fiber.
All on one simple plate — delicious and deeply nourishing.

And when you come to our office, we actually teach you foods just like this — real, whole, biological dentistry you can practice right at home.

💚 Eat for your mouth. Eat for your body.
It all works together the way God designed it.

Here’s how I make my biologic pre + post-workout shake in the — clean, fast, and built for real energy. 🌿

PRE-WORKOUT:
Start with Amino Supreme — one scoop for clean muscle fuel and steady energy. (On heavier days I add a little chlorella for natural binding.)
Then: water → pinch of Celtic sea salt → teaspoon of raw honey.
Electrolytes, clean carbs, and aminos… such a powerful combo.
Blend in frozen papaya, pineapple, mango, and coconut water for extra hydration + enzymes. Cold, bright, and so refreshing before training. 🍍🥭

POST-WORKOUT:
Right after training, this is where the repair really happens.
I go in with Protein Supreme, a scoop of Collagen Supreme, and Enzyme Supreme so my body actually absorbs what I’m giving it.
The Thermomix makes it silky every time — no clumps, no chalkiness, just smooth recovery. ✨

So much of this came from time with — Founder of the Biodentistry Global Standard. His biologic approach and the precision behind the Supzential formulations changed the way I look at performance, gut health, and recovery.

If you want clean energy, better digestion, and smarter post-workout repair… this setup is honestly next level.

And for our Real-B family — this is how we co-elevate and raise optimal health together. 🤝❤️

When purpose meets friendship…
We’re so happy to welcome Dr. Jack Nierenhausen to our Biological Center for Dentistry family!

The Ghanaati Protocol: Redefining Oral Surgery

Most people think oral surgery is just about pulling a tooth. But the how makes all the difference for your long-term health.

At the Biological Center for Dentistry, every surgical procedure follows the Ghanaati Protocol (— Ghanaati Regenerative Approach For Tissue Healing) — an evidence-based biological concept developed through decades of research at Goethe University.

This protocol focuses on preserving your body’s natural architecture, minimizing trauma, and activating your own healing potential through precise, science-backed steps:

➡️ Cone Beam CT (CBCT): A 3D view of your jawbone, roots, and nerve pathways to plan with precision and protect vital structures.

➡️ Atraumatic Extractions: Gentle, tissue-preserving techniques that safeguard surrounding bone and gum for optimal healing.

➡️ PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): Your own blood is used to create a fibrin matrix rich in growth factors and stem cells — fueling natural regeneration in perfect harmony with your body’s biology.

➡️ Biological Graft: the PRF matrix can be combined with your own bone or other biocompatible, cell-friendly materials to naturally preserve the extraction site and stimulate new bone formation in alignment with the Ghanaati graft principles.

➡️ Laser Technology: Provides clean, precise tissue support with minimal bleeding and inflammation for a faster, more comfortable recovery.

➡️ Saline Ozone Rinse: A natural, oxygen-rich disinfectant that sterilizes the area, enhances circulation, and supports bone and gum regeneration.

This isn’t “just extracting a tooth.”
It’s guided biological regeneration — protecting your body from long-term complications, reducing inflammation, and restoring balance at the cellular level.

That’s the biological difference.

With heavy hearts, we share that Dr. Porcelli’s dad passed away suddenly after dinner at one of his favorite places- here in beautiful Hilton Head Island.
💛 A good man with a big heart and a joyful spirit.
He was happiest surrounded by family, laughing, telling stories, and making everyone feel loved.
Forever part of us — until we see you again. 🤍. ✝️ 2 Timothy 4:7–8 (KJV)

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.”

✨ The Alignment That Heals You
You are the janitor of your temple — the caretaker of the body God entrusted to you. 🕊️

Every choice you make—what you eat, think, watch, and speak—is a vote for either life or imbalance.

A sound mind stewards the body.
A healthy body honors the Spirit.
And true healing happens when all three align: mind, body, and spirit.

💚 Comment “WHOLE HEALING” if you’re ready to honor God by healing your whole self.

10/20/2025

Healing starts in the heart of your home — the kitchen.

Not with fads or restrictions, but with real food, loving hands, and gratitude for what God provides.
Every ingredient you choose — from raw milk to pasture-raised eggs — tells your body, “I was made for this.”

✨ Choose whole, unprocessed, life-giving foods.
✨ Season with herbs that heal — garlic, turmeric, rosemary, basil, and oregano.
✨ And never forget — food made with love simply tastes better.

🥩🥚🍅 Healing is simple. It starts where connection, nourishment, and purpose meet — right in your kitchen.

Cheers,
Dr. Porcelli
