Airway Dentistry - it's not a trend. It's a way of life.

A cracked tooth, a dental visit, and an unexpected reaction…

Sometimes healing feels messy before it feels better.

This week I had a mercury filling safely removed and experienced a temporary detox reaction afterward that reminded me of something I teach often:

Symptoms are communication, our body is telling us something!

Our first instinct is often to suppress symptoms immediately—but sometimes the body is doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect, eliminate, and heal.

Tune in tonight at 7:30 as I share my personal experience and why supporting the body matters 💙

Let's go on treasure hunts with our snackle boxes! Reframe the mind. Where do you get your fiber?

A woman in my Habit Healers Community said two words that changed how I think about food.

"Chase Fiber."

Not chase protein. Not chase macros. Not chase perfection. Fiber.

Her name is CJ. She aims for 100 grams a day. She carries what she calls a Snackle Box, half tackle box, half snack tray, packed with beans, jicama, berries, dates, snap peas, and little hummus cups. A portable gut microbiome amusement park.

And it's working. More energy. Better satiety. Sustained fat loss. She shows up glowing like someone who isn't in a blood sugar tailspin by 3pm.

Here's why this matters. The average American eats 10 to 15 grams of fiber a day. The minimum recommendation is 25 to 38. That's not a small gap. That's a nutritional canyon.

And fiber does things no other nutrient can do. It slows digestion and flattens blood sugar spikes. It feeds the bacteria in your gut that produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that fuels the cells lining your colon and reduces inflammation throughout your body. It lowers cholesterol by trapping bile acids. It increases satiety so you actually feel done eating. It acts like a sponge for excess estrogen and toxins.

Studies of traditional hunter-gatherers show fiber intakes around 100 grams a day. Their stool weights were 400 to 500 grams. The average American? 100 to 200 grams. We're fiber starved.

The most powerful thing about CJ's approach is that it's not restriction. It's a treasure hunt. Every meal becomes a game of how many plants can I fit in here. That reframe changes your relationship with food from avoidance to curiosity.

I wrote a full article with CJ's story, a sample 100-gram fiber day, and a printable Snackle Box builder.
