| Your DNA Holds the Key: Why Some Supplements Make You Worse | 13 Mar 2025 | 00:48:54 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda Moldovan speaks with Dr. Tyler Panzer, a PhD scientist with expertise in pharmacology and genetics, about how genetic testing can revolutionize our approach to supplementation and health. Dr. Panzer shares his personal journey of using genetic insights to solve his own health issues with anxiety, brain fog, and sleep problems. Dr. Panzer explains how standard genetic testing reports often miss crucial information and why truly personalized medicine requires deeper analysis. He uses vitamin D as a powerful example, demonstrating how mutations in different genes can affect our ability to produce, convert, and utilize this essential nutrient. This explains why some people remain deficient despite high supplementation or sun exposure, and why blood levels that appear "normal" may still be insufficient for cellular function. The conversation explores how common supplements like curcumin, resveratrol, and berberine can actually worsen symptoms for people with certain genetic profiles. Dr. Panzer introduces his concept of "hyper-personalized medicine," focusing on cellular needs rather than disease labels, and explains why seemingly unrelated conditions may respond to similar interventions when approached from this perspective. He shares remarkable client success stories, including cases where targeted supplements based on genetic analysis quickly resolved panic attacks and improved Alzheimer's symptoms.

Both doctors discuss their concerns about fluoride exposure and share their preferences for natural alternatives like hydroxyapatite and xylitol. Dr. Engram provides practical home care advice, including natural mouthwash alternatives and supplement recommendations. She highlights the connection between gut health and oral health, explaining why treating one without the other is often ineffective.

| The Hidden Causes of Emotional Eating and How to Overcome Them | 03 Mar 2025 | 00:42:27 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda Moldovan speaks with Tricia Nelson, an emotional eating expert and TEDx speaker whose talk has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube. Tricia is the author of the bestselling book "Kill Your Hunger: Seven Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating" and host of the Heal Your Hunger show. As a recovered emotional eater who lost 50 pounds by addressing the underlying causes of her overeating, Tricia shares profound insights about the real reasons behind our food struggles. Tricia explains that overeating is rarely about the food itself but rather about "what's eating you." She describes how emotional eaters use food to cope with uncomfortable feelings, change their mood, or numb emotional pain. Rather than focusing on dieting, which has a 98% failure rate, Tricia emphasizes the importance of addressing the root emotional causes that drive overeating behaviors. She outlines what she calls "the anatomy of the emotional eater" - a set of 24 personality traits that have nothing to do with food but contribute to problematic eating patterns. The conversation explores how people-pleasing, perfectionism, and poor boundaries create the perfect storm for emotional eating. Tricia explains her "PEP test" (Painkiller, Escape, Punishment) to help identify the emotional drivers behind unhealthy eating behaviors. She offers practical advice for breaking free from emotional eating, including establishing regular meal patterns, developing self-awareness about true hunger versus emotional hunger, and creating healthy tools for processing emotions. For Dr. Sanda's dental audience, she highlights how reducing sugar intake can dramatically improve not just overall health but oral health as well. Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show?

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda discusses jaw bone cavitations, emphasizing their misunderstood nature and the updated understanding by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).

| Updates in Dental Radiation Procedures! | 27 Jun 2024 | 00:11:36 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda reviews the American Dental Association's (ADA) updated dental radiography safety recommendation, specifically advocating against led aprons. Modern digital X-rays and precise beam targeting are essential when taking dental X-rays. Dr. Sanda reviews the ADA's paper outlining their new safety recommendations, Optimizing radiation safety in dentistry, to show that ionizing radiation from dental X-rays is a carcinogen. Children and younger adults are more susceptible to the effects of radiation because their cells are growing and their organs are more sensitive to radiation. Dr. Sanda recommends antioxidants to combat oxidative stress from dental imaging. Practicing safe radiation exposure is vital for your health! Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show?

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Monica Hershaft, a holistic practitioner, about identifying mystery illnesses and the connection to hidden dental dysfunction. Growing up vegan, Monica shares how she eventually developed a choline deficiency and started to eat meat again. An NRT doctor helped her regain her health, which inspired her to become a nutritionist. She shares some of the most common mystery illnesses she sees in her Scottsdale practice, which are almost always symptoms of the nervous system being blocked or stretched. We discuss the importance of removing metal fillings, how hard it is to remove mercury from the body, and the role of the parotid glands in the process. Monica speaks to the five layers of illness that everyone, including animals, goes through in getting sick. I love talking with Monica because her story is a great reminder that it doesn't matter what your labs are; it matters how you feel.

| What is Redox and What Does it Have to Do With Healing? | 30 May 2024 | 00:32:48 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Leonard Neatu about redox homeostasis, how testing can combat inflammation, and oxidative stress in dental healing. Being in touch with redox levels helps to get to the root of a problem before a clinical diagnosis is necessary. Dr. Neatu introduces redox testing as a way to measure oxidative stress levels in the body. By measuring these levels, practitioners ensure proper bodily function and optimal healing outcomes. Dr. Neatu explains how patients can prepare for a redox test and integrate results into their larger health plan. Now that these machines are available in the U.S., dentists, nutritionists, and dieticians can potentially provide faster health tests than ever before to pinpoint sources of inflammation. Medical schools don't teach redox biology so it's important to learn about this modality! Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show? Watch our weekly episodes on YouTube!

This technique can be applied to any area of the body experiencing pain for long-lasting results. Truly incredible! Dr. Aitken-Young shares how her work pairs brilliantly with dentists, such as for helping patients with TMJD or breathing problems. In fact, Dr. Aitken-Young believes that, like a dentist's biannual check-up, a neurokinetic therapist should also be consulted often for preventative movement checkups.

We discuss the importance of our colons, what's involved in a hydrotherapy session, and debunk common myths. The colon is the human garbage can and in need of regular emptying. Tayla and her team are committed to helping people feel their best through this natural form of detoxification.

We talk about the importance of our tongue and chewing our food. Your therapist can tell if you haven't! Tayla strongly believes that hydrotherapy should be a part of all medical institutions and rehabs as it effectively targets deeply embedded toxins.

| Breathing Well with Holistic Dentistry: Exploring Airway Health | 02 May 2024 | 00:35:24 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Kevin Scwandt, a biological airway and reconstructive dentist, to discuss airway health, how to sleep better, and common breathing misconceptions. Dr. Kevin's interest in anthropology led him to the fascinating field of airway dentistry. Many health conditions that commonly impact us now due to "modern" nutrition and lifestyle choices rarely touched our ancestors! Dr. Kevin shares exactly how these can show up. Airway dentistry looks at how the structure of the mouth impacts a patient's breathing. An airway dentist can perform 3D skull x-rays and sleep screening tests to determine if there are any larger health problems impacting the mouth, like sleep apnea. Dr. Kevin suffered from airway issues and shares his first-hand experiences receiving treatment and administering advanced holistic surgical protocols. For dentists wanting to branch into airway dentistry, building a network of related physicians and practitioners, such as sleep specialists, osteotherapists, and massage therapists, in your area to refer patients to and learn from is an essential first step!

| The Other Side of Vitamin D Supplementation with Morley Robbins | 18 Apr 2024 | 00:37:57 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks once more with Morley Robbins, the author of Cu-RE Your Fatigue, to talk about vitamin D supplements. His recommendations may seriously surprise you! When most people learn that they have low vitamin D or any low nutrient, they supplement with more. Morley urges us to change our thinking! He encourages listeners to look at the larger picture of health and into what's causing the low numbers. Ultimately, low vitamin D is a result of inflammation. Instead of raising levels, we should be focusing on chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is, after all, caused by a lack of copper! While sounding radical, all of Morely's insights are fully research-backed, and he encourages us to keep looking for the full story of our own health and to not just listen to what we're told.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Morley Robbins, the creator of the Root Cause Protocol, also known as the Magnesium Man, to discuss the relationship between copper, magnesium, and fatigue. Morley's fascination with the earth's essential elements on the body and within the body led him to focus on metabolic dysfunction to debunk beliefs about chronic disease. The truth of the body is truly incredible! When a body is fatigued and stressed, the core issue is a dysregulation between copper, oxygen, and iron, a fact seemingly so simple yet so few doctors even know about! In this conversation, Morely shares his research about testing your iron and copper levels, why our society is copper deficient, and the importance of energy in all things.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Mark Torbiner, an anesthesiologist at Beverly Hills Dental, to continue the conversation about IV sedation in dentistry and pain control after dental procedures.
Pain anticipation keeps a lot of people away from the dentist chair, so by understanding more about what's actually happening and options as a patient, we hope patients feel less anxious! Dr. Torbiner explains that a good portion of pain management is expecting pain, even if it doesn't come, instead of the opposite. His goal is always maximum pain control with minimum epinephrine, and he explains why.

| Nap Your Way to Better Oral Health: IV Sedation Insights | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:29:53 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Mark Torbiner, an anesthesiologist at Beverly Hills Dental, about IV sedation in dentistry, its many misconceptions, and what to expect.
IV sedation makes dental procedures considerably safer. A patient's vitals are able to be monitored throughout and in some cases, sedation even flags health conditions that patients may not be aware they have, like high blood pressure.
Dr. Torbiner shares how he prepares a patient for IV sedation, including the risks if a patient uses drugs. It's important to always be honest about your medical history! Many people think marijuana is an acceptable antidote to dental anxiety because it is legal, but that is very much not the case.
To demystify the IV sedation process, and trust me, it's really not that scary!, Dr. Torbiner walks us through step by step what a patient can expect day of. Finally, he leaves patients with a strong word of warning against Ozempic and the extra precautions that must be adhered to if the drug is in a patient's system.
Be sure to tune in next week for a follow-up episode with Dr. Torbiner about the most effective pain control after surgery and dental procedures!

| The Critical Role of Probiotics for the Oral Microbiome | 21 Mar 2024 | 00:19:42 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda looks into a fascinating aspect of our health, the oral microbiome. It's bacteria time!
Dr. Sanda takes us on a journey through the exciting recent development of oral probiotic research. The connection between bacteria and the mouth seems so obvious yet it was overlooked for so long! The health of the oral microbiome is directly related to so many other parts of the body.
Probiotics work to rebalance the naturally occurring microbes in our bodies and mouths that antibiotics, diet, hygiene, and stress can disrupt. They have the power to influence the rate of cavities, the rate of gum disease, even bone density, as well as, of course, fresh breath, sinus health, decreasing the rate of asthma, and much more.
Dr. Sanda reviews several probiotic strains that are particularly connected to oral health, such as Lactobacillus salivarius, which greatly improves bad breath. Consuming chewable probiotics daily is one of Dr. Sanda's three top recommendations for optimizing your oral health, so be sure to tune into this episode!

| The Sunshine Vitamin: Unlocking The Secrets of Vitamin D3 for Oral Health | 14 Mar 2024 | 00:19:06 | |
Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda looks at the importance of Vitamin D to maximal health. Even though vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in oral health, cancer prevention, bone health, and even warding against depression, over 1 billion people around the world are deficient. Dr. Sanda busts the common myth that we can get enough vitamin D3 from the sun alone. Even most Californians don't! She shares the top naturally occurring sources of vitamin D3, but the reality is that most people, especially those in colder climates, will need to take a supplement to maintain healthy levels. Vitamin D3 works brilliantly in conjunction with vitamin K1 and K2, such as in Orasana's supplements, because they direct the calcium that vitamin D3 helps absorb and directs it to the bones and teeth, away from the arteries. When enough calcium is absorbed in the diet, the rate of cavities, periodontal disease, bleeding gums, and losing teeth decreases dramatically. Dr. Sanda advocates for testing vitamin D levels twice a year at home to know how much to supplement oneself and to be sure you are absorbing the vitamin D that you think you are and concludes by sharing precisely what factors to look for when choosing a high-level vitamin D supplement.

| The Chef Doc's Blend: Lifestyle Medicine & the Oral-Systemic Link | 29 Feb 2024 | 00:50:12 | |
Today on The Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Colin Zhu, DO, joins Dr. Sanda for an in-depth look at lifestyle medicine and how what we eat impacts our oral health. Spoiler alert: the more plants, the better! In this episode, Dr. Zhu encourages listeners to look at their lives as entirely connected and to become our own biggest advocates for how we treat our bodies. Dr. Zhu begins by sharing his passion for lifestyle medicine, which he lives by, practices, and advocates for daily. Lifestyle medicine is based on eight pillars of a healthy lifestyle to prevent, reverse, and treat disease: food, diet, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connections, and reducing and avoiding risky substances. Dr. Zhu explains that he launched TheChefDoc, an online wellness and education platform, as a way to combat the inefficiencies of the American healthcare system, which only allows time to dispense medications and tick boxes, but doesn't actually educate people about their lifestyle choices. He then discusses what he sees as the three reasons why Americans are not successful in healthy living, which boil down to environment, support system, and community. Many studies have shown that the more plants you eat, the less plaque and a healthier mouth you have. Dr. Zhu and Dr. Sanda share stories of patients who have fully reversed oral health problems by going plant-based and making lifestyle changes. So much disease is preventable, and it's time we start treating our health like it's our job. Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show? Watch our weekly episodes on YouTube!

When you think of laser technology, Star Wars lightsabers or laser pointers might come to mind, but the truth is that lasers are at the forefront of minimally invasive, holistic care. In this episode, Dr. Elicus and Dr. Sanda detail what can be accomplished with lasers in dentistry and why they believe every dentist and hygienist should rely on this modality. To kick the conversation off, Dr. Elicus explains why there's nothing to be afraid of when it comes to the Waterlase laser system the team uses at Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness. He illustrates how dental providers can use laser energy to address everything from plaque removal to cavities, and even ancillary procedures like treating canker sores and TMJ therapy. Dr. Elicus and Dr. Sanda also cover the barriers that many dental practices face when integrating laser technology, namely cost and training. But, they highlight different use cases that demonstrate why it's important for patients to seek it out, especially for long-term dental and gum health.

| Why do dental implants fail? | 01 Feb 2024 | 00:23:02 | |
Today on The Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda is here to address and investigate an important topic: Why do dental implants fail? With Dr. Sanda's 20-year career and extensive knowledge of implants (and oral health), it's safe to say that we are in good hands when it comes to navigating the success and failure of dental implants. Join us on a highly educational, yet insightful episode relating to dental implants and the systemic and local factors that influence how dental implants interact with the body. Are you coming along?
Dr. Sanda leads us to the first major systemic factor of dental implant failure: smoking tobacco. (As a result, you have a 10% higher risk of dental implant failure — that's huge!) We then move over to the second major systemic factor of failure: chronic inflammation. When your cells are inflamed, an overreaction can occur to any treatment done in the mouth… far beyond dental implants! And that's not all! Dr. Sanda takes us to three more systemic factor sites, including diabetes, medication, and allergies. As we continue along, Dr. Sanda shares three types of local factors to watch out for. The most common? The dental implant wasn't cleaned correctly. This is your friendly reminder to get a dental water flosser, which is 80% more effective than string floss! We also learn about two other types of local factors: leftover cement under the gum, and clenching or grinding the teeth. Finally, Dr. Sanda navigates us over to some good news. There's evidence of dental implant success and ways to prevent failure through longevity best practices: nutrition, proper sleep, and hydration, the three keys to full-body health. There's so much information on the topic that Dr. Sanda is coming back next episode with tools, solutions, and remedies for when and if your dental implant is failing you. See you next time! This episode isn't just about dental implants; it's providing the necessary research so you can make the most informed choices in support of your health, wellness, and longevity.
