I started asking patients to track their food for three days. Not counting macros, just writing down everything they eat and drink from wake up to bedtime.

You'd be surprised what it reveals.

Patient thinks they're eating healthy, but they're snacking an hour before bed. Their pH is still acidic when they lie down, even with perfect brushing and flossing.

Another patient has cavities no matter what. Food journal shows they're grazing all day. Their mouth never gets a break to remineralize.
The mouth shows the pattern. The food journal explains it.

This costs you nothing to implement. Just ask the question and give them a simple template.

Your patients will thank you for finally connecting the dots.

I'm still processing this. 🤍

The Wellness Dentist Podcast just won Most Educational Podcast of 2025 in Health and Wellness.

Community Choice. Which means you voted. You showed up. You made this happen.

When I started this podcast, I had no idea if anyone would listen. I just knew I had a message that needed to be shared. That the mouth is where wellness begins. That dentistry could be so much more than what we were taught. That people deserve to understand the connection between their oral health and their whole body.

I recorded episodes wondering if they were landing anywhere. Hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone out there needed to hear what I was sharing.

And now this.

This award isn't mine. It's ours. It belongs to every listener who tuned in, shared an episode, sent me a message saying "this changed the way I think about my health."

That's why I do this. That's why I'll keep doing this.

Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for spreading the word. Thank you for being part of this community.

We're just getting started. 🎙️

As we close out the year, I want to ask you something.

Are you satisfied with the way you're practicing dentistry right now?

Not just financially. But clinically. Ethically. Energetically.

If you've been feeling boxed in by insurance-driven dentistry, rushed appointments, and surface-level care, you're not alone. And there's another way.

Patients are changing. They want dentists who understand the mouth-body connection. Who look deeper. Who offer more than fillings and cleanings.

That gap between how dentistry is commonly practiced and what patients actually need is exactly why I created the Wellness Dentistry Masterclass.

On January 28, we begin a 6-week live experience designed to help you build a profitable, insurance-independent wellness practice. Without compromising clinical integrity.

This is not alternative dentistry. This is good dentistry, elevated.

A system. Not theory. The framework I wish I had when I started.

The next chapter of your practice doesn't start in January. It starts with the decision you make now.

Comment MASTERCLASS and I'll send you the registration link.

2026 is the year you reclaim clinical freedom, purpose, and profitability. This is where it begins.

The blood tells us what the mouth can't.

I used to think my job was to look at teeth, gums, and x-rays. That was the whole picture, right?

But then I started paying attention to labs. And everything shifted.

A patient who wouldn't stop bleeding after a simple procedure? Her lab work showed severe vitamin K deficiency and uncontrolled diabetes. Her previous dentist couldn't explain it. The blood work did.

A patient whose implant kept failing? Elevated CRP. Systemic inflammation we never would have caught by looking in the mouth alone.

Here's what I've learned: the mouth gives us clues, but the blood tells us the story.

This isn't about practicing medicine. It's about asking better questions. Seeing the whole patient. And getting results that actually last.

If you've been curious about bringing blood work into your practice, our January Masterclass covers exactly this. Nutrition, labs, and how to integrate it all.

Comment MASTERCLASS below and I'll send you the details.

Merry Christmas from my heart to yours. 🤍

Today I'm pausing. Soaking in the moments. The laughter, the love, the people who make it all worth it.

This year has been one of growth, challenges, and so much gratitude. For my patients who trust me with their health. For the dentists walking this wellness journey alongside me. For my team who shows up every single day. And for you, this beautiful community that keeps growing.

The mouth is where wellness begins. But today, I'm reminded that connection is where it all starts.

However you're spending this day, I hope you feel loved. I hope you feel at peace. And I hope you give yourself permission to just be.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas. 🎄

✨ We're closing out the year with something worth your attention.

This Wednesday at 12pm CST, I'm going live to walk you through the Top 10 wellness practices and technologies that transformed not just my work as a dentist, but my energy, clarity, and life as a whole.

Here's the thing, this isn't a highlight reel.

It's a practical breakdown of what actually moved the needle—the habits, tools, and systems that created more energy, better outcomes for patients, and a clearer path into 2026.

If you've been craving a more integrated approach to your work, your health, and the way you lead your life, this session will give you frameworks you can implement immediately.

You'll learn:

🦷 The tools that consistently create measurable change in my practice
💫 The wellness routines that improved my clarity, focus, and longevity
⚙️ The technologies I'm betting on for 2026—and why
🧭 How to evaluate which practices are worth your time (and which ones aren't)
We're heading into a new year. Most people wait for January to make adjustments. You don't need to.

Join me Wednesday and step into 2026 with intention, insight, and an actual plan, not another vague resolution.

We've all had that patient. You're doing everything right, but they just won't get numb.

I used to think it was me. Wrong angulation, wrong technique, something I was missing.

Then I started checking inflammation markers before procedures.

High systemic inflammation creates an acidic environment. Anesthetics don't work well in acidic tissue. Add chronic stress keeping the nervous system in fight-or-flight, and the body literally can't receive the numbness.

Had a patient struggle with this for two years. Every dentist blamed their technique.

Checked her CRP and blood sugar. Both sky high.

Six weeks working with a functional medicine doctor? Got numb on the first try.

Stop blaming yourself. Start looking deeper.

We did it. 📚✨ 12 books. 12 months. One incredible year of growth.

When I started this book club, I had no idea it would become one of the most meaningful parts of my week. But here we are, holding a stack of wisdom that changed how we think about our health, our businesses, our teams, and honestly, ourselves. 💫

Look at this list 👇

📘 Buy Back Your Time – Dan Martell
📙 The Happiness Advantage – Shawn Achor
📕 You Are the Team – Michael G. Rogers
❤️ Healthy Heart, Healthy Brain – Bradley Bale, MD & Amy Doneen, DNP
💚 Dirty Genes – Dr. Ben Lynch
🍏 Fast Like a Girl – Dr. Mindy Pelz

Here's the thing. 🙌 Reading is not just about finishing books. It's about taking what you learn and implementing it into your life and your practice. That's where the magic happens.

I watched dentists reignite their passion for their work. 🔥 I saw team members transform their nutrition and energy. I heard stories of practices running smoother, relationships getting stronger, and people finally feeling like themselves again. 💪

You know what I always say, there's a gap between knowing and doing. This book club helped us close that gap together. 🤝

To everyone who showed up, who asked questions, who actually did the homework and came back with wins to share, thank you. 🙏 You made this community what it is.

Wellness is a way of life. And learning? That's how we keep growing. 🌱

In 2018, I was burnt out, mercury toxic, and ready to quit dentistry.

2025, I'm planning my best year yet.

What changed? I stopped trying to figure it out alone.

If you're heading into the new year feeling drained, isolated, wondering if you can keep doing this... I've been there. And I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to stay that way.

The dentists who thrive aren't the ones who work harder. They're the ones who build the right community, learn the right systems, and practice differently.

2026 can be your turning point. But not if you wait until January to start planning.

We're doing annual planning with our team next week. Vision, goals, routine. Getting clear on what we actually want, not just what we think we should want.

If you need help with that, if you're ready to stop grinding and start building something sustainable...

I'm here. DM me.

Because nobody should feel as alone as I did in 2018.

What if I told you your mouth could predict your body's future?

Most people think dentistry is just about fixing teeth, but it's so much more than that. Your mouth is the gateway to your entire body, and reimagining dentistry as whole-body care could be the key to living longer, healthier, and more empowered lives.

Here's the thing, your mouth is upstream. Everything below the neck is downstream. When we focus on the root causes like nutrition, sleep, posture, mindset, and emotional wellness, we can transform not just smiles but lives.

In my TED Talk, I share how my journey from traditional dentistry to biological and wellness dentistry changed everything for my patients. It's a story about healing, hope, and the science behind why your mouth truly is the mirror of your health.

If you've ever wondered how your dental care could help you feel better, sleep better, and live longer, this talk is for you.

🦷 Wellness is a way of life. The mouth is where it begins.

Hello Wellness Dentists!

I'm sharing this now because I don't want you stepping into 2026 feeling rushed, reactive, or behind.

This Wednesday at 9:00 AM CST, we're going LIVE for a Wellness Wednesday conversation that feels especially timely. I'll be sharing what Dawn and I learned inside Alex Hormozi's headquarters in Las Vegas. Real insights on growth, operations, leadership, and what it looks like to think and move at a higher altitude.

I'll also break down my biggest takeaways from the largest anti-aging and longevity conference in medicine. The data is clear. The trends are accelerating. And what's coming next for dentistry and wellness matters more than ever. This is about staying ahead, not catching up.

Tomorrow is also our final book club of the year. This session has the potential to shift how you operate in 2025 and beyond. If you've been waiting for the right moment to join, this is it. We go live at 6:00 PM CST. The link will be sent tomorrow, so keep an eye out.

Right after that, we'll be hosting the final accountability session of the year for Wellness Dentistry Masterclass alumni. A space to reflect, integrate, and lock in end-of-year wins with intention.

See you on Wednesday at 9:00 AM CST.

Healthy Smile. Healthy Body. Healthy Mind. Healthy Life.

Being a working mom with a young child, I often downplayed my poor sleep habits, foggy brain, and my ongoing fatigue as the norm. That is, until my body went into complete chaos. Once I got well, I became committed to helping others who may have suffered just like me, instead of experiencing confusion and the suffering. They are now experience relief and joy.

I’ve survived mercury toxicity and I’m proud to help others with holistic approach to pain free, non-evasive cosmetic dentistry for a beautiful and healthy smile, body and mind. Our health model is much more enjoyable and long lasting for both patients and the doctor. We listen, we care and go beyond fixing the symptoms. We listen to what is important to you.

You deserve health and happiness. And don’t forget there is always a reason to smile. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions. I’m here for you.
