What if the key to preventing heart disease, dementia, and cancer was hiding in your mouth? In this eye-opening episode, we're joined by dental hygienist and consultant Tosha Kozloski RDH, who's revolutionizing periodontal care through advanced diagnostic techniques that reveal what traditional exams miss.

"All infections start subclinically," Tosha explains, sharing how microscopy has transformed her approach to gum disease. While conventional dentistry often relies on visible symptoms like bleeding or inflammation, Tasha shows how harmful bacteria can thrive beneath the surface in seemingly healthy mouths. The microscope becomes a powerful educational tool as patients witness spirochetes and amoebas actively swimming in samples from their own mouths – bacteria that shouldn't be present in health.

We explore the three-tier approach that's helping patients regrow bone without surgery: professional interventions with ozone and laser therapy, enhanced home care protocols, and addressing immune system factors. Tasha explains why water flossing with antimicrobial solutions penetrates protective bacterial biofilms that brushing alone cannot reach, using vivid analogies that compare traditional cleanings to a "car wash" when some patients need the "full detail."

The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about periodontitis, antibiotics, and the oral-systemic connection. From patients whose eye infections resolved after periodontal treatment to the presence of oral bacteria in brain tissue and heart attack clots, the evidence is clear: your mouth is connected to everything.

Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone concerned about your overall wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights into preventing disease at its source. Listen now to discover why paying attention to your oral health might be the most important preventative measure you're overlooking.

Imagine discovering that a century of nutritional advice has been leading us astray, and that the true root of chronic disease might be hiding in plain sight. That's exactly what happened when I sat down with Morley Robbins, creator of the Root Cause Protocol and author of "Cure Your Fatigue."

Robbins's journey from hospital administrator to health researcher began with a personal health crisis, frozen shoulder, that conventional medicine couldn't solve. This led him to question everything he thought he knew about human physiology. What he uncovered was shocking: copper, not iron, is our body's "innate healer," yet medical training has systematically ignored its critical importance while promoting excessive iron supplementation.

The conversation takes us deep into the intricate dance between minerals in our body, specifically how copper regulates both iron and oxygen metabolism. When copper becomes deficient, iron accumulates in tissues, creating oxidative stress (essentially rust) that damages mitochondria and depletes our energy production. This mineral dysregulation manifests as fatigue, inflammation, dental decay, and vulnerability to infections.

Perhaps most eye-opening is Robbins's explanation of how our food supply has been systematically depleted of copper since World War I, when NPK fertilizers began blocking copper uptake in plants. The situation has worsened dramatically with the introduction of glyphosate (Roundup), which Robbins explains chelates copper from soil at rates a billion times faster than calcium, a staggering difference that has decimated the nutritional content of our food.

Robbins challenges conventional wisdom on several fronts, including vitamin D supplementation (which he argues can drive iron deeper into tissues) and standard interpretations of blood work. When examining my own lab results, he pointed out how low ferritin levels might indicate parasitic infection rather than true iron deficiency, and how the copper-iron relationship tells a much deeper story than conventional markers.

If you've been struggling with unexplained fatigue, inflammation, or health issues that don't respond to conventional approaches, this conversation could be transformative. Discover why the "battery" of your body might be running low, and how restoring proper mineral balance could be the key to reclaiming your health and energy.
