Teeth are living organs. There are the tiniest organs actually, 32 directly connected to your brain. The oral health care is designed to kill germs, right? So if you look at the conventional toothpaste, it's designed with loads of chemicals. Whatever you put into your mouth, it should be stuff that you would eat. So a toothpaste, my opinion, needs to be clean. I've designed one that is for me as an adult and my kids, so they can eat it. When it comes to mouthwash, you know, there's the popular brands out there like Listerine.

And I've heard that those are kind of killing our oral microbreachers. microbiome as well. These ones are designed to clean floor. You can Google this and find research about it. I don't know how they were able to market it to be good for your mouth. People think the mouth is not part of the body. You can do whatever with it, but there is a microbiome. You don't want a new kid on a daily basis.

I don't think nature makes mistakes. You know, nature doesn't stick wisdom teeth in your in your head for dentists to pull them out. Conventional dentistry is basically the garage system. That's how we learn in university. Teeth are just tiny little biting instruments and you can repair the them like bringing the car to the garage. That is not completely the truth. Well, on this special day, since we have a dentist in the house, I did something I've never done

before. I brushed my teeth this morning. Never done before? I'm kidding. Hey, let's let's dive in on that a little bit about brushing the teeth, you know. I think that's probably a great place to start. some people you know they brush their teeth real hard um we can get into talking about toothpaste fortunately you brought your own toothpaste for us to talk about a little bit later but like um i guess like what are some basic things that people should know about cleaning their teeth trying to clean their teeth and just overall care for their teeth thanks yeah so cleaning your teeth is probably still important i mean this is the main thing we usually learn for from a dentist is I think the main connotation is the toothbrush, right?

Twice a day, you need to brush them. And I think it is still important, even though we're living in the bubble of health optimization, and like we talked before, for some people, it's not necessary anymore. And we can go into this like we did before, that in nature you probably wouldn't brush your teeth. But if you do, simple strategy,

basically find a very soft toothbrush and just gently, brush. Don't, how would you say it? Like, don't scrape it off or use a hard one. Because what oftentimes happens is that you basically scrape away the tooth enamel, which is the hard part of the tooth in itself. You don't want to do that. You just want to clean it gently. A soft brush will do. Super simple. All just a bristle, like the MISWAC tree that we used when we were in ancient history. And we were talking a little earlier about if we're doing things correctly, like brushing is just a little bit extra to kind of make sure the teeth are clean.

Maybe it's a little bit of like insurance to try to make sure that we're not going to get like a cavity. Maybe we're also just ensuring that like we're getting rid of some stuff that may have gotten stuck in our teeth and through flossing and various things. But why is it that you think that maybe we shouldn't have to brush our teeth nearly as much as we may think? So I mean conventional dentistry, the way we study in university, the whole oral. healthcare regime is designed to kind of like disinfect everything, clean, keep it neutral.

So it's, it's maybe a little closer to the microphone. I'm moving all the time. That's bad. No, no, it's okay that you're moving. It's fine. Okay. So basically the oral health care is designed to kill germs, right? It is disinfecting. So if you look at a conventional toothpaste, It's designed with loads of chemicals to clean, obviously, first, but also kill germs that are in essence. Yeah, that's how we learn. They're bad bugs in your mouth that will cause tooth decay because they're feeding on processed

sugars and foods we're eating. That's how we learn in university. That is not completely the truth. Like, in essence, we are designed to live with nature ancestrally and would eat what supports our body and healthy real foods we just touched on this before would clean your teeth in itself like eat an apple your teeth will be clean afterwards eat some steak your teeth will be clean but if you have a standard american or standard german diet it's based on starchy carbohydrates gluten-containing grains refined oils all these things that are oftentimes quite sticky

we touch on this like drinking a coke you instantly have this little fur on your teeth, right? I hate that feeling, you hate that feeling. But this little fur is called the biofilm and this will attract these so-called bad bucks that say it's called streptococcus mutants, Porphybronus, gingerolus. They will then feed on it, live on your teeth and kind of like drill holes in your teeth. That's the idea behind it. In an order to mitigate this risk, this is how dental, conventional oral care is designed. It's a band-aid for the wrong lifestyle and nutrition, and probably still necessary because most people

do not have a correct lifestyle yet. Right? Yeah, hopefully we can continue to teach people to eat the right foods. I know some people, you know, probably right off the bat so we might as well talk about it, but some people are probably thinking like,

oh man, I wonder what this dentist thinks to the sugar diet. So what do you think of the sugar diet? I actually tried myself. Like, I find it's really fascinating. I'm like you, like trying to experiment with new things and I was very bored about my normal nutrition, which is basically real food.

food, protein, healthy feds, good carbohydrates. So it kind of resonated with me to try it myself. Obviously, probably biased because I'm a dentist. I don't do conventional sugar too much or, let's say, the candy, how you would call it. But I tried the fruit way. So I literally ate for eight weeks, I would say. I ate fruit only during the day piles of it. Like literally bowls full of fruit, papaya, mango, berries, strawberries, literally tons of it.

And at the end, I modified it straight away. I had some protein for my last meal, a little bit of protein. So basically, I think it's an amazing, sustainable way if you do it healthy with eating real food. And I think fruit is real food. There is obviously sugar and fruit, technically speaking, but it comes with fiber. It comes with micronutrients. It comes with a lot of hydration. I felt like I don't need to drink as much.

So it's very healthy. You know, candy is going to have other things in it too. So on top of it having sugar, it's. going to have artificial this, artificial that. True. And so I do tell people like, hey, I have some candy, but I don't eat a lot of candy. And I try to make that point to people like, I might have a handful of candy, literally a handful of candy before I go and work out. But one of the problems with candy, and this is where your expertise could come in, is the citric acid, I believe, can be pretty

dangerous for your teeth. Is that true? All dose dependent. I think if your teeth are healthy, if your lifestyle is somewhat supporting your body from the inside with the right nutrients, so your teeth are hot as stone, I think you can get away with anything. I think you can easily throw in a handful of candy. I saw a video yesterday of a guy that was drinking 17 mountain dues every day. 17. Yeah, 17 of them every day. And this guy must have been like in his 70s, his teeth look perfect and everything. And so like you're saying, like if the rest of your lifestyle is like we obviously wouldn't recommend that amount of sugar like that. Um, And I'm not suggesting that people eat a lot of candy.

And also, too, I think have some good hygiene. If you're going to have candy, then have some good hygiene practices around that candy. If stuff's getting stuck, then floss it out. Do the appropriate things to make sure that you're not. Because that's the last thing you want is from your diet to have it, you know, be something that's causing a problem. But I agree with you that a huge part of it is your overall lifestyle. Yeah, I think the main thing is 80-20.

It's an 80-20 principle. If 80% is on the correct side, you're eating your meat, your fish, your healthy fats, you get the right micronutians that build your teeth from within, you go out in the sun, get some sunlight, vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, zinc, boron, biotene, methodated B vitamins, if you have that all covered, it actually doesn't matter because these things are hard as stone then, they're protected. But if it changes the way around and you have 20% healthy stuff, and 80% highly ultra-processed foods, which unfortunately many people do, to be fair,

your teeth get soft. And if they get soft, they're in a state of de-mineralization all the time. Your saliva changes, gets more acidic. Different bugs live in there. Like, we have an oral microbiome, right? And your microbiome is the mouth microbiome, the oral microbiome, is the second largest to the gut and the most diversified microbiome. And it changes with the substrate.

So the microbiome in your mouth from a standard American diet or standard German diet, it's completely different to, let's say, if you eat a paleo diet or eat more incessually. And it changes within 12 to 24 hours of changing the substrate. So you can literally change it. Again, for, let's say babies, a breastfed baby has a complete different oral microbiome than a bottle fed one.

So if that is all clear, I think you have a solid protection, but you have to first think about your overall lifestyle. Are you in the sun? Are you supplementing with a few things if you don't? And then if your teeth are hard, you can probably do everything with it. Don't open a beer can with it. can you um can your teeth kind of regenerate because like when i was a kid i remember you know

like your your kid like at least i didn't want to this is how i got the nickname smelly by the way i didn't love to take showers and my brothers made fun of me um but i also didn't like to like brush my teeth right for whatever reason and uh i remember sometimes my teeth would get sensitive i'd be like oh man i should start brushing my teeth again and so i would brush my teeth like a little bit more diligently for like two weeks, and then the sensitivity would go away. So your teeth maybe possess an ability to regenerate a little bit? 100% agreed. So yes, teeth are living organs. There are the tiniest organs, actually. 32 directly connected to your brain of number five, trigonimus. They have an own blood supply, nerve supply, nervous system, and limb supply.

So if they get their nutrients from the inside, they will build constantly through the blood, but also through the saliva. Again, saliva is a miracle molecule. If you feed the right stuff, that's why it's correct. So that's why we also, in biological dentistry, if we see initial tooth decay, that's called, if you see on an x-ray, and it's only in the outer part, the outer part of your tooth decay is called enamel. If the tooth decay is in there,

we would just give you a new diet, a new regimen to rebuild. As soon as you have a tooth decay that goes way deep into your dentin, which is the surface below, or then into your pulp, it's different. You probably can't repair it anymore. But if it's literally outside, you just change your lifestyle to a more remineralizing one giving you the right proper nutrition

and you never need to drill because we learn in university too in dental school the main enemy to your teeth is the dental drill so if you never use this one you'll probably be better right

what are some things that we should be looking at when we're looking at toothpaste because I think it's great that you created your own brand you make your own toothpaste what are like because I know that like a lot of modern toothpaste

the Trident and the, or the different toothpaste that we see out there on the market, the Colgate and so forth, those aren't the best for us. I mean, those are copy paste everywhere or go to the world, into the world. The supermarket is the same. Copy paste, same ingredients. And I'm like you. I hated brushing my teeth. First of all, I hate brushing the teeth because it's felt unnecessary and inefficient as a kid.

And also I hated the taste of any food afterwards. I remember the OJ just tastes weird. So I'm the guy that often. sometimes gets quoted as the dentist that doesn't brush. So I needed to design something. Because the most asked question literally is Dr. Domey, which toothpaste do you recommend? And I usually can't really recommend one

because standard supermarket aisle, the brands you just mentioned, they're loaded with chemicals. That's usually fluoride containing because that's what we learn in university. As a dentist, fluoride will protect your teeth, make it more hard. It's correct partially.

It's, again, a band-aid. But it also contains tricklesan, carigenin, sucralose, to make it not taste as bitter and various other chemicals that you literally don't need and they are blasting your oral microbiome disinfecting it on a daily basin

that's something you don't want to do so therefore I had to kind of like create my own toothpaste and do just the opposite create something that you can eat because you put it in your mouth you should be able to eat and also your mucosa, the cells in your in your gum they absorb everything right

it's like your skin it's outside body it doesn't go through your liver So whatever you put into your mouth, it should be stuff that you would eat. So a toothpaste, my opinion, needs to be clean. I've designed one that is, for me, as an adult and my kids, so they can eat it because you know,

as a kid, you would probably eat it because it tastes like sugar, right? And swallow way too much. And if you know the research and the science behind it, it's more and more about fluoride coming out. And fluoride is a known neurotoxin. And also, there's studies showing that it lowers IQ in kids and all these things.

and it's bad for your thyroid. Again, it's probably dose-dependent and it's probably not going to kill you, but it's accumulating. You're doing it twice a day, brushing, and why would I do something that has side effects? If I have an option to use the natural version of it, so if you go with a more natural toothpaste,

if I recommend anyone to go fluoride-free because biological dentists is team no fluoride, I have to be careful because I also tested all the other stalls, like the everyone, the whole foods, the sprouts, and it's literally almost impossible to find a clean, healthy toothpaste that has active ingredients in it. Usually they're just without fluoride,

without the chemicals, but it's great, but only contain essential oils. So you're not having the protection anymore. Again, if your lifestyle diet is not on point yet, I cannot recommend this because you're lacking a protective matter from the outside because fluoride does protect, that's correct. It makes your teeth not really stable or harder.

It makes it more brittle versus if you use an active ingredient that we use it's called hydroxyapitite that's the stuff that you tooth is built of so why not use something that nature has designed and then look for this active ingredient and this will then build your teeth from the outside if you have it there.

So normal choose paste has this warning sign on the back you shouldn't swallow and you only use a pea size version of it usually people use more, right? So it comes with a warning sign and what we did is the opposite. We designed something that has to stay in a mouth. You're allowed to spit it out, but don't rinse. Never rinse this toothpaste because it's a supplement that goes on your teeth. And it's kind of like

eating something. Yeah. Ryan, can you bring up, I think I sent you a couple of pictures of some different, just like the, yeah, that one's called no BS. And maybe you can try to find the ingredients on there. And we could see if Dr. Dom, see if he. Yeah, you sent me this. So I looked at the ingredients already. So I think this is a very good design. And again, Again, you can find great toothpaste online, but never in a store. It's very hard, yeah, in the store. And these are chewable, like, tablets. So I just thought it was interesting.

So the tablets are designed to chew on, but then also use a brush, right? They're not just to chew. Yeah, chew and then brush with it. And I actually like the branding. No BS makes sense, right? So there's no titanium. So usually toothpaste, for example, is white, right? We had that before.

My toothpaste is not white because white stuff in toothpaste is titanium dioxide. I know he doesn't use that, too. titanium dioxide is a known immune disruptor and it's actually banned in Europe it's still used in medication in supplements and pills to make this white look and a lot of people actually when they use this toothpaste is only now in Europe right now

but many questions were like oh wow it's not white why is your two space not white Dr. Domain's like it's actually not white because white is unhealthy and it's beige because it's like I'm trying to turn my teeth white right exactly yeah it comes with a mild abrasive it's actually surface activated silica which is protecting your teeth instead of whitening toothpaste

we can go into this one tooth I get the vanity everyone wants white teeth and I think it's fair that healthy teeth that have enough minerals they are whiter that's correct because it's a crystalline structure

so when they turn more yellow you're probably lacking some nutrients but you can also use whitening toothpaste and whitening toothpaste usually have just the same chemicals but on top a little bit more of an abracial abrasive. Brasive means it's kind of like filing down the enamel.

So what happens over time, they maybe look more shiny at the beginning, but if you file away the enamel, underneath the teeth are yellow. So they're getting more yellow in the long run. So not a good strategy. And then when it comes to mouthwash, you know, there's the popular brands out there like Listerine and I've heard that those are kind of killing our oral microbiome as well. True. So literally these ones are designed to clean floor.

You can Google this and find research about it. I don't know how they were able to market it to be good for your mouth. It kind of like comes, again, to the fact that people think the mouth is not part of the body. So you can do whatever with it. But there is a microbiome in it. You don't want to nuke it on a daily basis with ethanol base, super highly acidic. People think it needs to be, like, disinfect it. Exactly.

Well, wait, why? No, exactly. The opposite. The microbiome wants to be modulated, needs to be in balance, and never needs to be disinfected. And it also is, I mean, there's alcohol in there, ethanol base, but it's also, super acidic and we know that the saliva pH ideally stays around 7, 7.4, 7.38 but this stuff is oftentimes below 5.5, below 5. And we know

medical research that below 5.5 your teeth get demineralized. So they're losing more minerals through the saliva than they get back through remineralization. Not a good strategy. Why would you do that? I think it's just that no one questioned it. Clean the floor, throw it in your toilet maybe you can even clean your i don't know your cooking feel with it but it's not for your mouth definitely not and will actually in the long run make you bad make your breath smell bad because it will kill your microbiome we need your microbiome to be clean to have good breath what are some uh like things that we should be looking for if we are you know looking to purchase a mouthwash

i like mouthwash personally i think it you know for me the brushing the flossing and the mouthwash is a nice like trifecta of things just to make sure i get all the crap out of my teeth. Yeah, it's cool. So basically brushing is important. We just had that one. Flossing is fine too, if you're careful. Yeah. And I mean, I love mouthwash too, but we do oil pulling instead. So oil pulling is a classic iobatic strategy. You could use olive oil. You could probably use any not processed oil, but ideally use coconut oil because it's, it contains loric acid, which is antibacteria and antiviral in itself. So it's again an immune modulator. We're not here to kill any bugs in there. It's more like modulated. And also

the oil pulling will, because it's fat, get some of the fat soluble toxins that are in your mouth overnight or whatever, and then you will spit it out. So the only challenge with the oil pulling is you have to do it. And it takes about five to 15 minutes. So if you work it into your daily optimal oral health care routine, you need to find some net time, no extra time where you can do it. A lot of people are, you know, a lot of people are dedicating themselves a little bit more these days to like some sort of morning routine. So I think, you know, doing that and then going outside and seeing some sunlight or something like that, they'd wake up a couple minutes earlier. It's not too much to ask, I don't think. No, I think it's not, I think, first of all, you have to know the hefty information and then just apply. I know knowledge is nothing without execution. So if that's the morning routine, I would probably wake up, rinse my mouth a little bit of water and use tongue scraping. Just go with a copper tongue scraper and just literally. scrape off your tongue from the back. It takes 10 seconds, 10 scrapes, and you kind of like scrape the fur of your tongue, which is overnight debris, it's food debris, is bacteria, it's maybe all of a sudden some toxins. Helps a lot against bad breath. It's super good. Then go out in the sun

and then at the same time do your oil pulling. That's an amazing strategy. I didn't even think about it. I don't have sun all the time because I'm in Germany. Sucks ass from the weather. But now you're hanging in in SoCal, right? I am. Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. You've got a good tan going over here. Thanks. Oil, yeah, oil pulling is something I started to hear a lot about and I've never tried it.

So it's something that I'm going to start to implement. And the tongue scraping is something I haven't messed with. So I'm excited to start to mess with that. And you said it was a copper scraper of some sort? I sent you one. I send you a copper tongue scraper. Because I think you can buy one copper tongue scraper. It will probably

last your lifetime until you lose it because the copper is again aerotic. It is antibacterial in itself. So if you use a normal tongue scrape is mainly plastic and plastic tends to accumulate bacteria if you have it sit into your room or in your shelf.

So copper tungsgraper the way to go it's super good and just keeps bacteria off. And you will have it for lifetime. Probably you lose a few but that's fine. I think one of the more common asked questions nowadays too is about cavities. Yeah. And And, you know, a lot of people have, you know, maybe some old, some old hardware in their in their

mouth. You know, they have maybe some metals or some different things. And a lot of these things can be really disruptive to our health, you know. So where would someone, where does somebody start, you know, if they've had cavities, they had fillings and they have, you know, metal or whatever else that someone put in their mouth? Where do they start? So basically, if you had previous dental repair done, which most listeners probably had. So yeah, conventional dentistry is basically the garage system. That's how we learn in university. Teeth are just tiny little biting instruments and you can repair them, like bringing the car to the garage. And they were very creative as dentists to use various sorts of materials like mercury containing fillings, various different metals,

titanium, gold, cobalt, nickel, everything in your mouth, root canals. So basically what I'm teaching is biological dentistry or even the future of that biotendency 3.0 where we're melting the high-tech craftsmanship with overall health optimization functional medicine integrative medicine and if you want to start this I usually ask three questions so for the audience if you're listening in and do you have or had metals in your mouth and if it's a yes stand up and remain standing the second question would be have you ever had a root canal treatment and if that's yes please remain standing and the third one is have you had wisdom teeth pulled because a lot of us have them pulled in the Western world. If any of these

answers is a yes, then there's a lot of room for health optimization. But this is not something that conventional dentists will tell you. This is literally the next level. What I'm trying to build is a true biodendistry global standard and changing our profession literally from a technician to a health expert. And the goal is obviously never needing repair in the first place. But if you had it done, so the idea is like know about these things. I'm not here to fear a moment. or scare anyone. It's just important. Maybe you're interested in high performance, longevity, but you open your mouth and you see a silverish black filling. That's amalgam. And it contains 50% of mercury. And mercury is the most toxic non-radiactive element known to men. And it's only now

banned in Europe since January 25. Ever since then, and I think in America, still be used. Why would you use something that is so toxic that we as dentists have to remove it as highly toxic waste after taking out of your mouth. So know about these things but then also you have to find a strategy and as we're not trained in dental school to know about these things, don't just go somewhere and drill out your mercury fillings because I said so. You need to find someone who is skilled to remove those safely with safe measurements, which is a rubber dam, which is a specific air suction to, because if you drill out of mercury fillings unprotective, you obviously get way more mercury vapor into your system than just by wearing it.

So wearing it on a daily basis for 10, 20, 30 years, will release a tiny little bit of mercury vapors, about 2 to 3 microns per day, so millions of a gram. It accumulates because mercury goes through the cell, nucleus inside, there's no protection. So you chronically intoxicating yourself. But if you go to dentists, just drill it out, you create a super event and I've seen many, many people suffer with health issues

after not taking out a safe way. So first of all, find someone who is, either certified through me or smart certified. Yeah, you just see these filling. So personally, I didn't, so I learned, in dental school, I learned to do these fillings, right? And I personally, from an aesthetic point of view, could have never placed this into someone's mouth.

So when I did my residency for two years as a surgeon, my surgeon doctor, he still did these fillings because they're paid by insurance. And I told him, sorry, this is nothing I can do in a patient's mouth. Even though maybe insurance covers it, I'm going to bring in composites, I'm going to bring in porcelain, ceramics. And because I said so, like bold move from like a just starting at the new clinic,

I had to look into why I said that. I know from my dad, he wouldn't do American filling for the last 20 years for some sort of health reasons that I just mentioned. So that was actually one of my tipping points where I went deep into functional medicine and realized, wow, heavy metal is a huge topic in overall health and integrative health. And this is 20 years ago. So this is kind of like opened up the whole realm for me. That's when I started traveling the whole world,

learn from the best experts, and then realize there's more than just the metals in the mouth. It's also the root canals, the re-proof teeth. There's lots to repair what we have been, I don't want to say doing wrong. I think it's just outdated what we're doing. We have to think as the mouth being a part of your body and is not a garage.

And we have to change our profession. Like I said, from the technician to the health expert, but it also comes with responsibility for us as dentists. We have to learn more. not in the dental curriculum. That's the entrance card. You have to study this. But if you have your license,

that's when it starts. It's not the end game. Unfortunately, for me, as a kid, I ended up eating like kind of a lot of junk. And then my dad, my dad had a corporate job. He worked for IBM and he lost his job. And then we didn't have any like insurance,

dental coverage and stuff. So there was like years, maybe like a decade where I didn't go to the dentist, which wouldn't have been problematic. if I wasn't eating junk food, but I was eating junk food as a kid. And so my teeth got pretty screwed up, but I've had my wisdom teeth pulled. I have root canal. I have like a bridge. I have like, you know, all this different stuff going on. But luckily, the guy that I saw, and this was like probably, this is probably 15 years ago or so, maybe even longer. Luckily,

the guy used porcelain and like that guy was kind of up to speed on everything. And he did he did two bridges on me in one day which was pretty crazy it's a long-ass surgery I can see

you have to send me your x-ray to see what is underneath the bridge if you maybe have a root canal because again for you

it's all about finding the optimal state right and we just touched on the tongue tie thing so also if you have some sort of

it's called oral interference so metals can be an oral interference a dead tooth a root canal treated tooth

is basically a dead body part Because a tooth in itself, if you see it is in a microscopic structure, it has a blood supply in the middle. It's called the pulp. There's the blood, which is attached to the nerve and everything anatomically. Then we have a nervous system, an autonomic nervous system, so being fight-in-flight mode or parasympathetic sympathetics in there, and the limb system.

So if you have a tooth decay that goes to the nerve and you have massive pain because it's an extension of your brain, right? The tooth pain is literally migraine pain because it goes into your brain. We have to help you as a dentist, right? we have to get you out of pain, even though it's your fault that you got there. So then what we perform is called a root canal treatment. That means we take out the rest of the life pulp,

the blood supply, the lymph supply, the nervous system, clean it, maybe disinfect it with ozone, maybe do a better job, maybe use a microscope if you're a very good endodontist, fill it up with plastic and lots of other things and keep a dead tooth as a shell for biting, which works, no doubt about it. It's a fine skill.

However, it's now a dead body part. And I say it's never been a good idea to leave something dead in the body because over time, if you look at the microscope structure, a tooth has about 30 to 75,000 dentin tubules per square millimeter. It's the perfect cave for anaerobic bacteria, parasites, viruses, to lurk in there.

Because now there's no more immune system offending it, right? It's just a dead shell, it's a cave. And your innate immune system, macrophages, cytokines, can get in there. So it's more like a cat and mouse thing. So the mouse is the bacteria in that dead tooth. And around it, if you have an immune system, there will be a chronic silent inflammation. Maybe you see a cyst on an x-ray.

Maybe you also have like too much bone density there. But basically what the body is trying to do is protect yourself from that hurt, like from the chronic infection with a chronic inflammation. Is this painful? No. Nothing chronic is painful. But we're living in an epidemic of chronic health issues.

So depression is not, it doesn't hurt. So most chronic things do not hurt. And then sometimes don't even show, but it costs a lot of energy. In this case, teeth are an extension of your brain, meaning it's directly in your nervous system. Everything we do in your mouse or these bacteria that go travel backwards called retrograde exonal transport

into your ganglia, hypothalamus, pituitary, and change your whole system, maybe putting you chronically into fight and flight or even the opposite, putting you into like a sluggish, parasympathetic, toxic mode. So it's literally, could be the splinter holding you back from optimal health. But it's nothing a normal dentist will tell you,

because they will tell you, do you have any pain? No, we just monitor it. Can you bite on it? Perfect. Go for it. But it's a dead body part. And we would never allow this in any medical department. Like a dead gangrenous foot, it's going to be cut off because it's going to spread.

I think as far as I know in terms of my bridges, I don't think I have anything underneath it. I just have to just make sure that's clean, which is a pain in the neck, you know. But I guess maybe someone in my position, like I guess without seeing an x-ray, it's probably harder to tell. but like what would you suggest because I don't believe there's anything under there I do think I do think I had a tooth extracted or a root canal and then I think

they made it was again a long time ago and then I think they made a bridge and underneath the bridge there's there's nothing it's just like a probably a dead gum basically so basically what I would suggest if you're interested into how to optimize your health from this like we check your bite is fine right

your dentist will tell you everything is good so first of all you have to find a skilled real biodentist, that's how I call my tribe, that looks beyond all that. And we'll have a normal conventional x-ray, but also maybe can do a three-dimensional x-ray, which is called a cone beam scan.

With a cone beam scan, we allow to see inside the bone. We see around the teeth, is there a signs of inflammation? But you obviously first need to find someone. And this is my biggest quest, basically. I'm probably the one person that trailblazed this term of biological dentistry over the last decade most.

And I feel there's obligation right now to, if I tell someone here listening, go see a biological dentist, I'm actually kind of like shooting this movement in the foot because it's like telling someone to go see a personal trainer, to go see a real estate agent. It means nothing. There's no trademark, no standard, nothing

until yet. And that's why I'm creating a true biodendistry global standard, which is a certification process. It takes time. And it will melt biological dentists, a high-tech biological dentistry, the manual work with integrative medicine, functional medicine, health optimization, in biodendistry 3.0.

which I believe is the future of our profession from the technician to the physician. So you have to find those, but I have a directory. There is the Institute of Biological Dentistry. So if you're a dentist that is open-minded, interested in, hey, we can become more than just a technician, the garage guy. We can become overall health experts. There's a way to go now.

It took me almost 20 years to put that all together. It's an online certification, but it's an entrance to the power grid. It's an ecosystem of building for all of us dentists that are interested in the future, pioneering it with the focus of helping our guests or patients overall health and at the same time do an amazing job technically so it's not against conventional dentistry not at all it's just the next level from outdated to from old school to new school obviously you don't do any metals

what's the deal with getting wisdom teeth pulled like you know to me to me it's like I don't think nature makes mistakes you know nature doesn't stick wisdom teeth in your in your head for dentists to pull them out. But yeah, what are some of your thoughts about that? Great question. Maybe it needs two answers. So, yeah, you're right. In nature, we would have space for a set of all 32 teeth,

all four wisdom teeth. Actually, 10,000 years ago, we had two sets of wisdom teeth. Still some people these days show up with second pair of wisdom teeth. But over time, we, as a species, kind of like, degenerate, especially in the Western world.

So it's partially Western Price's work. He had a great book about this called Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. So why are we degenerating physically? Why are we growing more narrow? How does this all start? And why are basically wisdom tea is pulled in the Western world? Because I'm asking this question to the audience. Because I'm guesstimating, 80% of the listeners had them pulled.

Because it's just standard of care. Why? Because we literally have no more space for them. So it's a necessity. However, it starts way earlier. so it actually starts before even conceiving because it starts with breastfeeding basically it starts in the womb with the right nutrition and then living a healthy lifestyle so the second answer to this question is we grew narrow because we changed our lifestyle ultra processed foods

lead to less nutrients in a diet also obviously less chewing maybe less sunlight and then over generations we get narrower narrower and narrower and oftentimes in this right now we have a surplus of calories maybe but we have a lack of nutrients so lots of moms go into their first pregnancy already being depleted of nutrients for a long time already when growing narrow so there's an educational bit so we have to teach our future parents basically how to support how to start pregnancy how to prepare before what to do during pregnancy to produce amazing babies in there because the baby is again when you're pregnant the body will prioritize the baby. And oftentimes I see moms that lose teeth afterwards because

put you in depletion again. And then afterwards it's all about breastfeeding. Breast is best. Breast is the first orthodontic treatment. If you suck on a breast as a baby, needs 12 times more strength than on a baby bottle. I know not all moms are able to do this. I'm truly sorry about this, but nature has designed breastfeeding as the ideal structure. So if you're prepared and then you can breastfeed, do this for at least 18 months because sucking on that breast will grow the jaw forward at the same time

the baby learns to nose breathe which widens the palate grows the mid phase so it's a good starting point if you do that for long 18 months even more it sets up a good foundation

and then obviously after it when your kid is still growing supported with the right nutrients eat real food that's when the food design concept comes in and yeah but this is all education this is nothing

nothing of what I just said you learn in university I think it's very It's very frustrating because, you know, I think like so many people now suffer with sleep apnea, you know, and a lot of this, you know, stems back into so many of the things that you said about your nutrition, your lifestyle. So sleep apnea is really interesting because at the moment we don't have a lot of good cures for it. I do know that you can get, you know, fitted for, you know, particular mouthpieces and stuff like that. people have CPAP machines and there's some there's some care for it but I think the ultimate way to you know ensure that you won't need us or ensure that you don't get sleep apnea is to be

on point with your nutrition and to be on point with getting outside and be on point with some of the things that you're you're mentioning and then maybe you know maybe by proxy of that maybe we don't end up with the you know the problems that we have today so we had a a woman on the show who wrote a book called Forward Adonics, I think it was. And a lot of her research and stuff like that was about, you know, this harder chewing and stuff like that. What's your take on some of these harder chewing gums that people are utilizing? Yeah. I mean, the chewing hard stuff is actually super important. It's kind of like bodybuilding for your jaw, right? It's progressive overload. So you have the jaw muscles called the masseter, which makes your jaw more squarey. And I think

what most people use it these days is for the jizzled jaw line and it's more an aesthetic point of view. Kind of get that Ivan Drago look. He had that big perfect jaw. I will never go to a doctor ever again about my general health. All they want to do is put you on pills. Really well said there by Dana White. Couldn't agree with them more. A lot of us are trying to get jacked and tan. A lot of us just want to look good, feel good. And a lot of the symptoms that we might acquire as we get older, or some of the things that we might have, high cholesterol or these various things, it's amazing to have somebody looking at your blood work

as you're going through the process, as you're trying to become a better athlete, somebody that knows what they're doing, they can look at your cholesterol, they can look at the various markers that you have, and they can kind of see where you're at, and they can help guide you through that. And there's a few aspects, too,

where it's like, yes, I mean, no, no shades of doctors, but a lot of times they do want to just stick you on medication. A lot of times there is supplementation that can help with this. Merrick Health, these patient care coronators are going to also look at the way you're living your lifestyle because there's a lot of things you might be doing that if you just adjust that, boom, you could be at the right levels, including working with your testosterone. And there's so many people that I know that are looking for, they're like, hey, should I do that? They're very curious.

And they think that testosterone is going to all of a sudden kind of turn them into the Hulk. But that's not really what happens. It can be something that can be really great for your health because, you can just basically live your life a little stronger, just like you were maybe in your 20s and 30s. And this is the last thing to keep in mind, guys. When you get your blood work done at a hospital, they're just looking at like these minimum levels.

At Merrick Health, they try to bring you up to ideal levels for everything you're working with. Whereas if you go into a hospital and you have 300 nanograms per deciliter of test, you're good, bro. Even though you're probably feeling like shit. At Merrick Health, they're going to try to figure out

what's like things you can do in terms of your life. lifestyle. And if you're a candidate, potentially TRT. So these are things to pay attention to to get you to your best self. And what I love about it is a little bit of the back and forth that you get with the patient care coordinator. They're dissecting your blood work. It's not like if you just get this email back and it's just like, hey, try these five things. Somebody's actually on the phone with you going over every step and what you should do. Sometimes it's supplementation. Sometimes it's TRT and sometimes it's simply just some lifestyle habit changes.

All right guys, if you want to get your blood work checked and also get professional help from people who are going to be able to get you towards your best levels, that's AmeriHealth.com and use code power project for 10% off any panel of your choice. Boy, he has an immense joy. Yeah, so that's called the massager muscle. And it's naturally there from eating harder foods,

not from smoothies. You need to really chew stuff. If you don't do this, and I think that's why this, I think it's a subconscious thing. just look more aesthetic if we have a perfectly grown face. I always say it's health and aesthetics and nature has it right.

So having a jaw that is weak and to the back, like a small, from the side. Like recessed, yeah. Yeah, it's recessed is the word. This is too much forward. Recessed looks a little bit weird. So I can understand that you need to have

this more prominent. And you can do this by chewing hard stuff until these muscle gets sore. It's like training. Like three times 12 reps for hypertrophy. and do this every day. You could probably also do it just by eating harder foods and make it a lifestyle to chew

and chew like your grandma said, like 30 times and not just wolf it down, guilty of that. Sorry, bud. Some people talk about nerd neck. You know, a nerd neck is kind of just like this forward kind of head posture. But you can also end up with a nerdy neck from lifting. You know, you lift a lot. Like, you know, for me, I spent many years

training the bench press and building up that area but then you end up with tight scalene muscles and tight muscles through your neck and through your chest and then it kind of just pulls the body forward and when the body's pulled forward then your your chin or your head will start to posture forward a little bit and so we just end up and he's like it's a super unfortunate positions no one really wants to end up there but you're at your computer a lot, you're not eating the right foods, or you are trying to take care of your body, but maybe you're taking care of your body in a way that is making it like more unbalanced. And you were telling me earlier about the tongue tie thing. It was really kind of blowing my

mind because I've kind of heard of that before, but I didn't, as you asked me to put my tongue to the roof of my mouth and then open my mouth, I haven't tried anything like that in like a long time. Like that's something that you do maybe when you're a little kid and you, you know, make that noise with your tongue or something. And I didn't realize how hard that was like it felt hard. It felt difficult for me and it felt like I had no strength, no strength in my in my tongue. Exactly. And I had, I can just tell you my last month examination of myself. I had the same problem. So forward posture, obviously I'm a surgeon, like always leaning a little bit forward, but training into it. And I was never even thinking about the tongue tie issue. I was thinking,

okay, I'm just like tensed up from all the stress. And we're talking about that, uh, that, line underneath the tongue, right? If you guys lift up your tongue to these wrinkles that are right behind your incisors like this, you see a little tiny line. But for Mark, I could see, because I had the same issue, if he lifts up his tongue, instantly this tie pulls the whole flaw

of his mouth with it, meaning there's literally no stretch and flexibility, which 100% lead to snoring at night and open mouth because you probably need to compensate for the airway because the tongue has too much force and also at the same time same issue here because of this tension

and that if you look at the facial trains of your tongue the tongue goes till you toes the whole fascia and if that all gets tense you get these tight scalini you kind of like getting more crunched over like you said what is the name forward head positioning

and nerd neck nerd neck I had the same and I always felt like so much tension in my neck and I just leading up to the surgery that I had myself only three weeks ago I did three weeks of access exercises. And already I felt just doing these exercises, I felt like I'm getting more tall. I don't

have as much wrinkles anymore because I think from the nerdyness, I also had to look up and speak with my forehead to just see something. So wrinkles got reduced. Swelling in my face got reduced and I just felt so good and aligned. And my training and posture just were insane. So I had my best lift before on the day of the surgery like for bench pressing. Finally I was able to doumbels like 10 pounds more than I usually do and never did for 10 years of more of lifting and I was like is this even possible so I did the surgery on that day

and while she did this cut out it's basically with the laser it's a super minor thing I felt that my tension here in the back of the neck is like C7 TH1 it just relieved I was like is this even possible I feel like I can finally breathe

so airway health is extremely important it could be a tongue tie. I'm not saying every one of you guys has a tongue tie. Again, we have to diagnosis. But when it comes to CPAPs and all these machines and sleep apnea, I think is a big thing. Lifestyle, I would agree with Mark, is number one. So you have to figure out what is swelling up your, let's say, oral mucosa tissue, what is swelling up your nasal tissue. It could be just dairy intolerance, could be all the sugar to process foods, whatever. Figured as out, it could be previous dental repair because the mercury can probably swell all this. The bucks from the root canals. So we have to figure that out. If the lifestyle is in check, if you have all the previous

dental repair fixed, and you're still having issues, and usually ideally you look at the same time, have a dentist who knows about the tongue tie, you do this at the same time. I think you can fix many things that are an adaption to a poor lifestyle in the first place. But reverse engineer it, basically. And I do that all the time with experimenting on my body and then create protocols to help many. It's all so connected. And you're mentioning your strength and your posture and stuff like that. I saw a video recently of somebody, you know, just testing somebody's strength with their just head

and their eyes forward. And they're like, all right, turn your neck like this and they, you know, tested their strength and they just got weaker. And they showed like multiple demonstrations. They showed it like multiple people. And I know sometimes those demonstrations can like look a little silly or whatever.

But it does, it is an indication that your neck, your posture, your tongue, your eyes, your mouth everything is so connected and once one thing goes like out of alignment then you're kind of you might you might just have a slight head tilt that your neck bugs you for a little bit but then your whole body almost like a car

if your tire starts to kind of get worn out the rest of you might start to get worn out in a particular way too yeah that's all the posturology and we use that a lot for our guests so because we usually design so when someone comes in we repair everything that has been repaired in the past all in one, like the whole mouth in one go.

First phase is like the health optimization week and then six months later, if everything is healed, we place the right teeth with the right function and static on top. Does that take a few days maybe? The first phase. The first phase is usually you're with us for seven to ten days.

Oh, okay, because I was like, man, like you hammer at all at once. I'm like the person to be. So basically you sent, because it's all, most people fly in for over a decade. It's kind of like a destination. And so therefore we do that remotely. You send it just a panorama

x-ray and I can see there's metals, there's root canals, pull wisdom teeth, we designed the preliminary treatment plant, put you in the right nutrition path, and then once you're there, it's a couple of days, so one day maybe safe metal removal, but also at the same time, get some IVs, get some hyperbaric

and all the things we use from health of the immunization. Second day, maybe is the surgery we're taking out the root canal treater teeth, place ceramic implants, usually infected root canal treat the teeth chronically, take care of these cavitations, which is the wisdom-tuce topic we should go into, and then also at the same time use everything you can imagine hypoxia training, hyperbaric oxygen, red light, all the full menu to help you with this

approach. So it doesn't end up being like a normal brutal dental intervention, but more like a very seamless thing where we do all this without major pain, without major swelling, and then put you kind of like an architect for your health on the right nutritional design, the food design and bone healing for the next four to six month. We also scan your body composition and everything. And once you come back and everything is healed, it's kind of like first the foundation of your house and then we come back, then we only put the stuff that you see on top, which is the teeth, the crowns, prosthetics is what it called. That's the second phase. And the idea is if that is done, at the same time we change your whole posturology because the bite, like when these teeth are

there and you're biting together, this is the thermostat for your whole neck, you push your eye side, like these eyes are designed to be at the horizon, parallel. And as soon as you just lose one millimeter of bite height on one side, it could be that your neck is compensating for it. And then, like you just said, the whole body gets shifted to this. So the bite is one of the, I wouldn't say health killers, but one of the missing links to overall health. And it could be, it is 100% correct from previous dental repair.

You will have a bite height loss, which also leads to less blood flow to the brain, less acetylcholine in there, and less toxicity coming out of the brain, so less lymphatic activation. So it's a whole realm. So you could actually tie anything and everything to the mouthpiece. That's what I'm saying.

If you try everything that we just talked about and do everything and you're still not feeling the best or superhuman, you might missing your mouth. And this is where optimal health starts, in my opinion. You were mentioning a little bit more about the wisdom teeth. Yeah. So wisdom teeth, the question of I'm asking wisdom teeth is first, because it's done because of a, yeah, like we said,

epigenetic issue. So we would do a three-dimensional. X-ray and see if the bone really grew back after taking out these wisdom teeth because the way I had my wisdom teeth pulled and I understand you're the same. I was like 15, 16 years old. My mom just told me, you're going to have a dental appointment tomorrow. And then I just got a local anesthesia and it felt super brutal and rough. And one second later, I had swollen cheeks and I couldn't speak for a week, was on painkillers and antibiotics. I also remember that it got reinfected, pus came out because I didn't have any lifestyle to it. I was probably smoking

at the same time. So everything done wrong. Because I'm the experimenting guy. I obviously found out about something called cavitations later. And by doing my own three-dimensional x-ray. So a three-dimensional x-ray is called a cone beam scan. And it allows you to look inside the bone. And what we see in these areas where we had teeth remove, could be any tooth, but wisdom teeth are usually pulled, that there is no bone density. It's basically a hollow area. That's why it's called cave cavitations in it's not just layman's term it's going to be the future it's going to be called in dental school too this is something you don't learn in university so cavitations are not yet dental material dental university curriculum but we're working on it we're doing

lots of clinical research and it's going to be there soon it's not woo-woo it's it's what i think it is it's rough trauma doing the surgery at the wrong timing insurance pays for being fast so doing four wisdom teeth in one go, ideally in 45 minutes to get a plus out of it, but not being prepared is the main thing. So the host, as a teenager, you're not in anabolic phase, and your body is not prioritizing a surgery, a rough surgery. It's prioritizing your growth. So what we do different, these cavitations are unhealed bone areas. So cavitations are chronic silent inflammation in the jawbone from previous wisdom tooth removal, for example, 20, 30 years ago. And we have to make this acute again. So we have to

tell our brain and our body, hey, we have to reactivate this, clean this, and then bring in new blood to build that area. So if I do this, it's kind of like a minor surgery, we open this area up and then clean everything, but I don't want to do this in a non-prepared way, because this is what led to the cavitation. The first place was a patient that wasn't prepared with the proper nutrition, the bone healing, and that's why we prepare our guests at least four to six weeks in advance. We ask for the current vitamin D3 blood work to see if they're optimized and give.

give them a right structure. So once they come in, I am confident if I do this minor surgery and clean it all out and activate it and use the ozone and PRF, that then it will heal because they will also stick to the diet and nutrition for the next six months. That's how slow bone healing is. And then I had an impact with the surgery

because I'm not a surgeon just by liking surgeries. I'm very empathetic and very sensitive, so I could never hurt someone not knowing that it helps. So I need to have the helping version first. But it helps. I had the issue myself. I had my wisdom teeth pulled. And when I was early 30s,

I was already an oral surgeon, ceramic implant specialist, but I was super tense and super stressed. I thought it's just high cortisol, but I also had very bad skin. Skin eczema, especially on my forehead and here. Not acne or something, more like red and itchiness eczema.

And everyone, as you know, if you have something in your skin, everyone will point to this. What is with your skin? You're supposed to be a healthy, It's your nutrition. You're eating too much protein. It's all bad. I'm like, no, it's something else. I didn't know what it was. And there was one day in the clinic where we had someone shadowing a naturopathic doctor. And he was like testing me with kinesiology. And he's like, you're very stressed

today. You're super crammed up. But there is something that's triggering you. I'm like, what? I'm healthy guy. What is it? So he said, let's do the cone beam scan right now. So I knew about cavitations, and I did the surgery where I didn't think that I had it. So we realized on the on the cone beam skin, wow, massive cavitation. Like, as big as like a full thumb, like on the lower jaw. Body compensating with tons of cortisol, stress hormones, leading to the inflammation in my gut and then the skin issues. So I was, like, fired up to get this surgery done as fast as possible.

So we did that completely unprepared, one side. Nothing changed in my skin. The only thing that changed, like during surgery was like, my nervousness was gone on the next state, state. So my hands were not as shaky anymore and felt more calm. And during surgery, I realized, oh, my crying. back issue here like stomach height also gone so it felt great but skin wasn't good so I couldn't wait till the second part was done like six weeks ago we did the other side and then two weeks

after surgery skin model no more eczema everything's gone so obviously learning this on my body as guinea pick number one I had to put it into the protocols teach about it even though this is 10 years ago and it it's still not medical guidelines what's the procedure like how to do that Like, yeah, like, what are they doing exactly? You mean how to do a cavitation surgery? So in essence, what we do is we open up the gum because it's below gumline, right? Teeth is gone.

So behind your last tooth, we open it. And I have designed a surgery. I would call it a scarless surgery. We open it up like a zipper, so don't produce any scar. Very minimal and maceous to see the bone. And then usually the body was able to build a bone around it, like the cortical part. So we have to open it up a little bit,

like a little tiny window. We use pizzo surgery for this. And then inside, we flip the lid And inside is usually fatty degenerative osteonecrotic jaw bone, FDOJ or NICO as well, it's also referred to. That's the chronic information. You have to literally scoop that out and clean that, make it acute again for your body. Tell your body, this is a chronic issue, clean it out, and then activate it. So that's why it's so important to be on a strong anabolic protocol to be able to build tissue.

Then once it's mechanically cleaned, which is not too bad. It sounds way worse than it is. That's perfect picture here. So you see this bony there. This is a picture from a pathology. And the guy who sponsored his head, he killed himself with chronic migraine. And they only found afterwards that this was causing it. Because you have this dead dog area.

That's a cavitation inside a jaw. And you see this nerve down there that's called the trigemines nerve. And all the bacteria viruses, fungi parasites live in there as well as the cytokines, travel through the brainstem. That's what caused his neuralgia. And, but oftentimes, I would actually say in 90% of all cases, you don't feel this. I had tension. I had eczema, but I wasn't connecting this to my jawbone, not at all. Not even a single bit.

I had chronic shoulder problems. All was gone after the surgery. So cleaning this out is obviously number one, very minimum invasive. Then we disinfect because it's a cave full of parasites. Even mold is living in there, especially for American, I guess. Then disinfect with ozone. We flood the area with ozone. So from medical grade oxygen, we put ozone in.

there during surgery and before we draw blood spin it and create something called PRF membranes that contain growth factors and everything to heal and put those in there maybe if it's too big we even put some artificial bone in there never from animal and then put the patient or guest on a strong protocol that he's already for the next four to six months to be supplied by the right nutrients why because in the first place it didn't heal so the surgery won't do the trick surgery will clean and activate, but then your body needs to be able to build bone. And this is the main thing that is part of the bi-dendistry global standard that dentists learn about systemic bone hitting, systemic nutrition,

which obviously in the future hopefully helps to not needing a dentist to repair anything at all. But right now we need to repair what has been repaired. And this is something that is not yet dental school, but my friend, Professor Sharam Ganati, University of Frankfurt, he is dedicated now to get more and more peer-reviewed papers, and he has now finally has one really highly peer-reviewed paper to show after any sort of choose extraction, he used premolors, these ones,

capitations will form. He's not there yet connected it with the whole systemic thing that I'm bringing, like the nutrition. But I think this is where we do a lot of research now in the future doing my protocols, combining it with the surgery

and seeing, is it really healing? Because it's all about healing. If we do a surgery and it's coming back and this was the time when I learned it, 80% was recurrency. I don't do a surgery to do it again and again and again. Makes no sense. I want to make sure I help the guests with this

then it heals then I see you again restore everything you learned a lot in between about overall health optimization come back as a new person and I never see you again as a dental patient but you can come for health optimization but not for dentistry maybe a cleaning once in a while sounds to me like a lot of

you know what you're talking about here you know would really help with someone's digestion oh man so the usual suspects for these inflammation your jawbone is irritable bowel syndrome thyroid issues migraines

I could actually say all chronic health issues that no one yet found a solution to so digestion is huge for me too like the chronic back pain I had was my stomach is directly connected to this which was stomach and small intestines

so this is a little bit more in the Wu category for the medical listeners not for me we use a lot of Chinese medicine and meridians you're familiar with meridians yeah so meridians are just

every single tooth has a direct connection to a specific meridian and an organ. It's called a tooth organ chart. I have it on my webpage too, or you can find it. So the wisdom tooth specifically are connected to your small intestine and heart meridian. Small intestine, sebo, ill-tail bowel syndrome, all connected, also connected to shoulder issues and chronic neck problems and underperformance. So it is literally one of the silent health killers.

No one talks about because it's something you don't learn in university. And if I now send you to any dentist that has a cone beam scan who isn't trained to look for those, they won't diagnose those. So that's, again, why the biodendistry global standard is so much needed and why I can only recommend people that are real certified biodentists because then I know they follow these protocols. And there's certain levels to it to get this. But we have the whole blueprint ready now.

And yeah, I think it's important that people suffering out there from chronic health issues will at least know about this information or if they're not suffering from chronic health issues and they're just looking for the extra extra edge. All right, Mark, you're getting leaner and leaner, but you always enjoy the food you're eating. So how are you doing it? I got a secret, man. It's called Good Life Protein. Okay, tell me about that.

I've been doing some Good Life Protein. You know, we've been talking on this show for a really long time of certified Pete Montese beef, and you can get that under the umbrella of Good Life Proteins, which also has chicken breast, chicken thighs, sausage, shrimp, scallops, all kinds of different fish, salmon, a lot of Apia. The website has nearly any kind of meat that you can think of lamb. There's another one that comes in mind. And so I've been utilizing and kind of using some different strategy, kind of depending on the way that I'm eating. So if I'm doing a keto diet, I'll eat more fat and that's where I might get the sausage and I might get their 80-20 grass-fed grass finish ground beef. I

might get bacon. And there's other days where I kind of do a little bit more bodybuilder style where the fat is, you know, might be like 40 grams or something like that. And then I'll have have some of the leaner cuts of the certified Piedmontese beef. This is one of the reasons why, like, neither of us find it hard to stay in shape because we're always enjoying the food we're eating. And protein, you talk about protein leverage it all the time. It's satiating and helps you feel full. I look forward to every meal. And I can surf and turf, you know, I could cook up some, you know, chicken thighs or something like that and have some shrimp with it or I could have some steak. I would say, you know, the steak, it keeps going back

and forth for me on my favorite, so it's hard for me to lock one down, but I really love the bovette steaks. Yeah. And then I also love the rib-eyes as well. You can't go wrong with the rib-eyes. So guys, if you guys, if you guys want to get your hands on some really good meat you can have to Good Life Proteins.com and use code power for 20% off any purchases made on the website, or you can use code Power Project to get an extra 5% off if you subscribe and save to any meats that are a recurring purchase. This is the best meat in the world. Bodybuilders, performance, entrepreneurs, high, high performance athletes, something they might miss, right?

You might even have some optimization for yourself here. Oh, for sure. When you're, you know, teaching and sharing information with young people that want to get into your field, are you, you know, also communicating to them about how they, you know, kind of practice what they preach so that they, they, you know, you know, maybe they work out or have some exercise regimen and be healthy as well? Best question ever. Yes. So I called those the real biotendis,

short form is real B, which stands for Be Real. And this weekend in Venice, I invited my, let's say, leaders, the best ones in the game from all over the world to come to Venice to retreat mastermind where we exactly do this. I'm kicking their asses.

Like they all bring in their new in-body scan. And if they're above 12% body fat, they're out of the group. Just kidding. I'm not that bad. But literally, we scan all our guests in body. We know exactly the body composition because it's all correlated. Chronic stress, chronic inflammation, higher fat tissue.

And also what you can measure, you can manage, right? How can you tell this to your guests and patients if you don't do it yourself? So I'm very strict with the real biotendist that they do it themselves, that they learn it. Because if you learn and apply it like you do, you live and breathe, and it's so easy to get transferred as information to your guests, and they will do the same. That's why it's working for us so good in Germany because we all. all live it like the whole team i'm not myself right i'm me and three more than this there's dr bina you just saw my dad is still there tania and the whole team all my staff they changed their lifestyle

over time they had amazing results for the health optimization we have a complete health optimization side on side and yeah i think it's only working if you live breathe and teach and practice what you preach and as i'm the leader kind of in this game i have to bring my a game too And for me, luckily, it's my lifestyle, so it's easy. But I'm always, yeah, on the edge. And this weekend will be immersive with my real biotendis. We're going to train at Gold's Gym in the morning. Then we eat good food so that they really, I want to copy the mindset on them.

So there's no excuses. And looking forward to this. Yeah, that's really cool. You're going to train at Gold's Gym in Venice, California there? Yes, the mecca. That's great. Have you been there before? I've been there, yeah, a lot of times.

I've been in LA, the last almost 15 years, I started functional medicine there in 2012. That's when I fell in love kind of like with Venice and Gold's Gym. Just good memories. And like I said before, I'm all into the Museum of Life and creating experiences and memories for that. And I just like that vibe. In the morning, if you go train there, like the sunrise in SoCal and then training outside

even. And then I think it's an amazing vibe. Oh yeah, Gold's Gym for those people that don't know, the one, the mecca down in Venice, California. They have quite a bit of outdoor equipment now too. It's not even like specialized equipment or anything. It's just equipment that they put outside. But the weather in Southern California is unmatched.

I mean, you cannot find, you know, I know some people like, you know, different parts of the country, but, you know, most of the time when you're in different parts of the country here in the U.S., if you're like on the East Coast, you deal with like a lot of humidity. Yeah. And it can stay like in Florida.

It could stay very hot for like, you know, until 9, 10, 11 p.m. at night. In, in Southern California, it'll be like 70 degrees. Yeah. You know, at night. And it'll be nice and cool. And when you show up to the gym, a lot of times, you know, you show up with like a hoodie on because it's a little, a little chilly. But once you get moving, once you get working out, especially if you're working out

outside and the sunlight starts to, the sun starts to come out. It's just an amazing feeling. It's a good feeling of like euphoria. and then the people there like you see celebrities and stuff like that is pretty neat you're like oh my god wasn't expecting like walk in like the last time i was there Arnold was there and i and i met Arnold a couple times um he's just like back there and he's just like he's just like making fun of his friends and his friends are making fun of him it's just it's just kind of an amazing environment and then there's these former you know high level pro bodybuilders and you know a volleyball

professional will walk by you a professional hockey player you know be walking the other way you're Like, this is, like, where am I? This is crazy. And there's like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people in there. Like, I don't know how many people are in there at a time. It could be maybe even almost like a thousand, but there's a lot of people in there. Yeah, yeah. It's a great vibe.

And I'm, because of all these people, I go there very early. Let's say, 6.30-ish, seven latest. And then it's okay then. It's not too packed. But I know exactly what you mean. It's so amazing. I'm never ran into Arnold yet. But I'm sure this trip I will because I have another three weeks there.

And I'm going to be probably there every single morning. I'll tell you when he's there off air. Oh, we cool. So you've been lifting for a long time and you've been kind of doing bodybuilding type stuff. Have you ever competed in like bodybuilding or power lifting or anything like that?

No, no, no. I did never compete in it. Maybe it just got started as a hobby. For skateboarding, I started it to jump higher. Like just went to the gym. And also, to be fair, I wanted to look like a little turtle, like shredded and abs and cool round shoulders.

I mean, that was in my 20. And like, I think I started 20 when I go to the gym. And then because I had my own health issues during university, I realized training helped a lot. And all the lifestyle and nutrition helped me a lot to get like my balance and focus back. And I was just obsessed with, back then I was just obsessed with building muscle. So I think when I was 24, like at roundabout at the end of my studying,

I built up to 100 kilos, which is 225, which is I'm 180, like 511. which felt immense, huge. Then I had to diet it all down again. And at the end, like, now I'm right, I'm right 85 kilos. It's probably 190 pounds, but very good shape, lean. And I'm more like a precise surgeon now when it comes to the body health. I'm also father of four kids. So I want to be flexible, precise, fast.

And I didn't go to a huge bodybuilding route. But more athletic and aesthetic. Again, my clinic is called DNA health and aesthetics. They think health first, aesthetics follows always. And then you will also be lean for a lifetime if you just follow the right nutrition, right real food nutrition. And then at the same time, you have strong teeth. You have a good breath. And you look good.

You feel younger. I mean, I try to. There's also practicing what I preach. Like for my whole team in the clinic, I have 25 people on staff. We do our in-body scan all of us. Like once a week, one every two weeks. And now I think they have a new update with the in-body, the medical one. It shows you your age.

And I won. Which I found, I'm eight years younger than I'm in real life. Oh, that's awesome. So my body is 34 and I'm 42. And I think if it's fun, yeah, it's just fun to have those measurements. And if it's on paper, it also counts. Like that's something I teach to my kids. If it's not a video, I didn't see it.

It's not true. Right. Yeah, you got to have to have proof. Yeah, you have to have some sort of proof. So you just started skateboarding like when you were young? Very young. I started skateboarding when I was 12 and I'm a very obsessed person when I find my passion and the passion was just becoming skateboard pro and i think in hindsight i was i just wanted to

find people that have the same energy to just smash smash the world and get the best out of it so i was very good at skateboarding very young and the only thing i realized was getting kickbacks and i was skating by myself because i didn't realize back then that all the people were just maybe a little bit jealous of me being so far so i had to do it all myself so the whole life i was looking for people they share the same success mindset that not a lone wolf but be a wolf pack and that's what I'm creating with the whole luckily I think I turned this passion

into the passion for health and I'm able to teach many people out there how to optimize their health but also many experts, dentists and create some sort of like a global wolfpack for health optimization that's how we met with Jay or Chris so yeah same passion

when I thought I was 12 12 12 a 14 year old kid, you know, maybe you had that feeling too, that feeling that you need to do this right now and it's just so good and costs zero energy. It was skateboarding. Now it's professional health expert, creating a new profession from the technician to the overall health expert. Yeah, because I never wanted to be a dentist, for example. So my dad is a dentist. And I think within the first 20 years of my life, I visited his shop two times. I didn't even know what he was doing. I was just not seeing him. Right. So he was not there for me. Therefore, I thought, it's a shitty job because I only want to do sports

right I thought he's just working I didn't realize it's his passion too so it was by accident that I got put into dental dental clinics as a civil servant I was a paramedic at civil servant and they put me in dental school for whatever reason I was just pulling teas as a civil servant I'm like

oh wow I like it so applied overnight to university started studying it without knowing anything what I had to do I just realized I'm good with my hands that helped me because you need the practical skills but from day one I was questioning what I'm studying there on a more comprehensive level because it felt outdated

and didn't make any sense with my studies about nutrition, supplementation. Back then already I was, you learned biochemistry in university. And a normal colleague of mine would have said, they hated it.

It was those, you oftentimes lost the semester because you didn't pass. So they would usually just click and never think about it again, right? And I loved it because it was connected to the Flex magazines, the bodybuilding issues,

the magazines that are reading, I learned about creatine, I learned about glutamine and all these things, and learned how they work. So for me, biochemistry, even though I hated in school chemistry, it was so simple. It just made sense. And obviously, I didn't know during university that I'm going to use it later, but now 15 years later, I know, oh, wow, it was all preparing me to teach something new. And already in 2010, I knew I'm going to have a center for some thought of health optimization, running IV protocols already 15 years ago, and implement all these protocols. And now 15 years later, 2025. I would say the blueprint clinic is there. And I think we're there to scale this

movement now and build clinics that work on the same protocols. Why? Because I think I have the responsibility to future guests to make this available. And the only way I control it is kind of like to have the protocols running. Because I realize in the last decade of teaching, usually what happens if they learn a little bit, they spin it off, create new islands and then teach something not the right way. you know what I mean? And the only person's suffering is then someone who is sent to a biologic dentist and has a very bad experience with a singing bowl right next to it, but not what we want to do. Because literally, I'm 100% sure now with all the research that we did and that is now coming

that we can change our profession. And the biggest backlash is always my colleagues. But I think we're on that merge right now. We'll probably take another 10 years. I'm already there for 20 years. So another 10, I thought it's still already early adopter stage. We just saw it. I'm still in pioneers.

world when it comes to dentistry. So 99.9% of all dentists listening to this will probably say, what a bullshit. But it's no BS. It's just the next level. It's the future of our profession. You got four kids. You got your own supplement brand.

You got your own toothpaste. And you're working out and stuff like that. How do you balance some of this time management-wise? Cool. Maybe I'm very structured. So it's constant iteration. constant iteration and the mindset is obviously I need to create all this I want to bring change and impact it's not about me personally I just need to do something but at the same time I want to be

a good dad I want to grow into this realm I want to be there for my kids so the first let's say the 30s I might miss a lot but now in my 40s and I learned a lot about how to move and manage and just find precise structure so every morning is my morning routine that's my time for me It's the gym. For me, gym is meditation. I know most people maybe here, they will understand. For me, this is literally I get balanced. I get all my creative ideas into a flow.

I feel very good and then have power for the day. And I feel like I've done something amazing and I can take the day on, right? I feel accomplished. I feel super accomplished. I had the same time when I did surgeries and then I went to the gym afterwards, after bringing my kids to bed.

It wasn't a good idea. So this is structured. Then my nutrition is on point and I have a good lifestyle. I try various different things, try to use sugar diet. and I think nutrition in an 80 plus percent I'm more like a 95% person also helps you to stay focused and sharp

and don't get distracted too much and if you see it as an experiment and also now I have to say I have a huge team so it's not me anymore alone trying to do it all alone which I did in the 30s and I accomplished a lot it was only about accomplishing I wanted to be basically from a sports mindset

I want to be world champion so I became world champion in ceramic and plantology and one of the best worldwide, which was necessary for the dental colleagues to listen to me, but now it's not about this. I think I've accomplished that ego part, and it's literally about creating a movement, helping as many people,

maybe being the vessel, getting the idea, educating, and it's a constant iteration for me to go from doing only surgeries to now educating dentists at the same time, going out in the world, teaching it, going on social media, writing books, and creating a whole movement out of it. But I tell you, I think my family is the main driver,

Like, without my wife, I could do nothing. Like, Stephanie is insane. She manages the four kids right now while I'm here in Venice. And they're 10, three boys, 10, eight. You can imagine five. And a little girl, too. And they're just insane energy for morning to evening. They probably have that for me and my wife.

So I'm very happy that this is all solid. It gives me a strong foundation and background. And at the same time, I think it gives me a strong purpose to do these things and to have this impact and also push through all the backlash that I had. and all the shitstorms and just go for it. Just be stubborn and do your thing and have fun. I just want to have fun, actually. Fun meeting great people talking about it and then it flows.

It flows. And obviously finding the right team, like all the companies I'm doing this company together with my brother for over a decade in Europe, subsnutrition. And the American one is coming in October. Two shooters already there. Yeah, one of my team is in China. One is in Wales.

We just lately had a meeting. Holland, China, my brother lives in South Africa, Wales. So it's a global team and it's a global big movement. It's not me alone. And yeah, it's going to be just bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and more fun. Thank you so much for coming on the show today. Where can people find you? Thanks for having me, first of all.

They can find me on Instagram. It's Dr. Dom 1, D-O-M-E. I know you spelled a different in America, D-O-M-E-1, maybe in the show notes. There it is, Dr. Dom 1. And Dr. Domeo Official. There you find my clinic, DNA Health. and aesthetics, you find various supplement companies, and the Institute for Biological Dentistry. So if there was any open-minded dentist listening in, there is a certification going for you.

It's application only. It means I still pick and choose every single real biodentist in the scoping process, but it starts every month. It's online first. Yeah, I think Dr. Dommeo Fisher and Instagram. Cool. Yeah. Shout out to Jay Campbell for linking us up.

Strength is never a weakness. This week, there's never strength. Catch you guys later. Bye.
