Episode Notes

Today joining us for a second time, back by popular demand; Dr. David Minkoff. Davis is here today to answer some pressing questions on how there may be more of a definitive root causes to your health problems then you might think.

I know Auto Immune conditions are just a tip of the iceberg of conditions that happen to so many of us and we really have no reason why. After watching a documentary called the Root Cause movie, I wanted to further chat with Dr. Minkoff to share this newfound information to the listeners.

Dr. Minkoff is an interviewed expert in this movie where he sheds light on how Root Canals and other dental procedures are insanely toxic to our health. Dentistry is the only area in our body where we leave something dead and cover it up cosmetically. Throughout some of these procedures like wisdom teeth removal and root canals; we leave behind breeding ground spots for bacteria to grow. Not only to grow, but then can travel through the insane network of tiny blood vessels in and around the teeth around those areas and refer symptoms to many other places in the body.

For an example to this; they quote that around 97% of females who had breast cancer had a root canal performed on that same side. They also give many examples of people who had chronic untreatable conditions who underwent treatments to repair the damages done by their dental procedures and had their symptoms completely subside.

Now, I do want to highlight that I do recognize that not everyone’s problems or symptoms are 100% caused by this. But if you’ve tried everything; then this might be an area to investigate. Dr. Minkoff takes a broad look at the body and will do an abundance of testing to get to your root causes and this is just one of the many findings he’s come across so I am happy to have an episode specifically dedicated to this because I think it’s so fascinating and definitely overlooked.

Also for the dentists and dental hygienists out there who may be listening in! Please don’t think Dr. Minkoff thinks negatively around dentistry by any means and thinks dentists do some incredible work! He believes Dr’s and Dentists should work together in situations like this because at the end of the day the mouth and teeth are apart of our overall body.

It’s an incredible episode for all athletes and their friends and loved ones who want to optimize their health and take control of their lives. Remember, you can’t reach optimal performance before addressing your health first.

So without further ado!

Let’s get into it.
