This moment from episode 36 with Salim, That HRV Guy, is one that I think the entire biohacking and wellness community needs to hear right now. 🌿

We are living in an era of endless external tools, wearables, protocols, supplements, cold plunges, and red light panels, and somewhere in the middle of all of it most people have completely lost the ability to simply listen to their own body.

The inner guru that every ancient tradition pointed to is not a metaphor. It is the nervous system communicating through HRV, through sleep quality, through energy, through every signal the body sends before something becomes a problem. Learning to read those signals is more valuable than any device and it is the foundation that makes every other tool actually work.

I recorded this one live from our brand new space at the Center for Wellness Dentistry, and it might be my favorite conversation yet. 🎙️

My guest is Salim, known online as That HRV Guy, and we went deep on heart rate variability, what it actually measures, why chasing a higher score misses the whole point, and the five pathways he teaches for building a more resilient nervous system.

He shared a story about a bike accident that dislocated his shoulder and dropped his HRV from 170 to 30 overnight, and how one honest conversation with his coach tripled it back to 97 in a single day. That part alone is worth the listen.

But here's where it got really interesting for me. We connected the dots between nervous system stress and what shows up in your mouth, saliva production, gum health, even nutrient absorption. This is the piece missing from most biohacking conversations, and I think it's going to change how you look at your own health. 🦷

If your nervous system has been running on empty lately, this episode is for you.

Everyone keeps asking me about my detox protocol… so here it is. 👀

For me, wellness is not about waiting until I’m sick to start paying attention. It’s about being proactive, knowing my body, tracking changes, and making intentional choices.

Important: This is simply what I personally choose to do with my healthcare team, not a recommendation or prescription. Some of these therapies have limited or evolving evidence, and screening should be individualized with your healthcare provider.

Prevention over reaction. Always. 🌱

What’s part of YOUR wellness or prevention routine? 👇

I almost lost my career to mercury toxicity, and it wasn't from a filling in my own mouth.

⚡ WHAT NOBODY TOLD ME:

For over a decade I pulled silver fillings with no idea half of what I breathed in was mercury v***r. By 31 my hair was falling out and the brain fog wouldn't lift, and everyone told me it was just because I was a new mom.

🌱 THE SHIFT:

A functional medicine doctor finally ran a heavy metal panel, and mercury and lead came back off the chart. Now every mercury removal in our practice runs through the PROTECT protocol, not just the SMART minimum, with baseline testing and nutrient support built in.

Removing mercury the wrong way is more dangerous than leaving it in place. Sit with that before you touch a single amalgam.

Something I love sharing with patients who are nervous about healing after a procedure. 🌿

What you are seeing here is PRF, platelet-rich fibrin, made entirely from your own blood drawn right before your appointment. We spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the natural platelets and growth factors your body already uses to heal itself and then place it directly in the surgical site. Because it comes from you there is essentially zero risk of rejection or allergic reaction.

The results speak for themselves. In one clinical study PRF reduced dry socket complications after extraction from 26.7 percent down to zero. Not a small improvement. Complete elimination of one of the most painful post-procedure complications we see.

This is what it looks like when we work with your body instead of around it. If you are ready to begin your wellness dental journey we would love to connect. Schedule an appointment with us. 🌿

This case from the episode is one that every athlete and every provider working with athletes needs to understand because it changes what questions get asked when something is not healing the way it should. 🌿

Recurring injuries that do not respond the way they should to treatment are sometimes not a structural problem at all.

They are an immune problem. When there is chronic inflammation coming from an impacted or partially erupted wisdom tooth the immune system is already working overtime before the athlete ever steps onto the field. Recovery slows. Inflammation in the injured area does not resolve as expected.

And nobody connects it back to what is happening in the mouth because nobody thought to look there.

Happy Biohacking Day! 🧬⚡️

Shoutout to Dave Asprey who helped bring biohacking into the mainstream and inspired so many of us to think differently about health and longevity.

To me, biohacking means measure, understand, optimize—and don’t wait until something goes wrong.

I biohack my sleep.
My recovery.
My movement.
My bloodwork.
My environment.

And yes… I biohack my mouth too. 🦷

Because your airway, oral microbiome, inflammation, hidden infections, and dental health are all pieces of the whole-body health puzzle.

My mission is to bring that same biohacking mindset into dentistry.

The future of dentistry isn’t just fixing teeth. It’s helping people live healthier—and hopefully longer.

Happy Biohacking Day 🙌

“But nothing hurts…” 😬

I hear this from patients all the time.

And I get it—when you feel fine, it’s easy to assume everything is healthy.

But here’s the problem:

Pain is not a measurement of health.

🦷 Cavities can progress without hurting.
🦠 Gum disease can advance quietly.
🔍 Some dental infections may exist before you notice obvious symptoms.

That’s why I believe dentistry shouldn’t just be about waiting until something hurts and then fixing it.

Look earlier. Ask WHY. Prevent what you can.

Think about your car—you don’t wait for the engine to completely break down before you check under the hood.

Why should your health be any different?

Feeling fine ≠ always being healthy.

🎥 Day 4/30 of my Oral Health for Longevity series.

Follow along for Day 5. We’re going to keep connecting the dots between your mouth, your body, and your longevity. ❤️

Dentistry made me sick. That is not something I say lightly and it is not something I ever expected to say as a dentist. 🌿

I did not have a single mercury filling in my own mouth and yet my heavy metal levels were off the chart. Mercury and lead accumulating in my system from years of removing fillings from patients without the protection I needed. And when I started connecting the dots, the fertility struggles, the brain fog, the memory issues, the exhaustion, every single symptom checked the box for heavy metal toxicity. I went from disbelief to feeling completely betrayed by a profession I had dedicated my life to because nobody ever told us to watch out for this.

That experience is what changed everything about how I practice and why I believe so deeply that dentistry is one of the most important pieces of whole body health that most people have never been told about. If you are ready to start your wellness dental journey DM me to get started. 🌿

Most people have never had a dental exam that looks like this and once you understand what is possible it is hard to go back to anything less. 🌿

A wellness dental exam starts before we ever look in your mouth. Posture. How your head sits on your neck. Whether your shoulders are level. The way your body holds itself tells us things about your bite and your airway that a standard exam never considers.

Then we go deeper. Saliva under the microscope, airway assessment, a review of how your teeth relate to each other, and a conversation about what your health history is actually telling us before we form any conclusions.

DM me if you want to learn more about what a wellness dental visit actually looks like. 🌿
