If you think cavities are just about sugar and skipping floss, this episode will completely flip that script. I sat down with Dr. Staci Whitman, a functional dentist who's blowing the lid off everything we thought we knew about oral health. What she shared about the connection between your mouth, gut, brain, hormones (yes, hormones!) and even sleep had my jaw on the floor… and honestly, it still is.

Dr. Staci breaks down the real reasons so many of us (myself included) get cavities even when we’re doing “all the right things,” the surprising link between mouth breathing and chronic health issues, and why what’s happening in your oral microbiome could be the missing piece in your health puzzle. We also get into the truth about fluoride, the foods that are secretly harming your teeth, and what you can start doing today to protect your entire body—starting with your mouth.

If you’re a parent, a wellness nerd, or just want to stop dreading your next dental visit, this episode will change how you look at oral health forever.
