Holistic Dentistry Show with Dr. Sanda Sanda Moldovan

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. Medical gaslighting is a real issue, and it’s important to always advocate for your health!

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!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Bryn Aitken-Young, an Integrated Physical Therapist, about the healing power of neurokinetic therapy, how it relates to dentistry, and how it eliminates pain so that the body can move more. 
Neurokinetic therapy supercharges physical therapy by treating both the immediate source of pain in the body as well as treating the source of the dysfunctional movement in the brain. 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. After all, movement is medicine, and it shouldn’t hurt!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Saeid Mushtagh, a Naturopathic Doctor, about homeopathic health approaches, pine pollen and mushrooms for oral health, and the myriad ways mother nature provides healing. 
One of the key tenets of naturopathic medicine is that you cannot separate the mind from the body. While there are many healing modalities, Dr. Saeid’s focus on pine pollen and mushrooms to address physical and emotional issues is fascinating! In this episode, we discuss the oral health benefits of pine pollen and how a tincture can support hormone regulation in men and women. He has found so much healing from the trees that, in addition to his naturopathic practice, he began a company, Canadian Pine Pollen, that offers functional foods, herbs, and nutraceuticals wild harvested from Canadian forests. Don’t miss out on learning about these wonderfully potent natural remedies!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Talya Meldy, the founder of Clear Way Health. To date, she has given over 15,000 colon hydro-therapy sessions! 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. In this conversation, we discuss some of the colon hydrotherapy benefits, including clearer skin, less pain, better sleep, decreased inflammation, mental health benefits, and, my favorite, a general feeling of emptiness in the body and brain following a session. 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. She shares how getting in touch with what comes out helps to access what’s happening emotionally within. Give it a try!

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!
