Hi friends! I’m SO excited to share this week’s episode with biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram, and this one is truly eye-opening. We dive deep into the powerful connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body—and how what’s happening in your mouth could be impacting your hormones, immune system, brain, and more.

Dr. Toni shares her personal journey with Crohn’s disease that completely changed her approach to dentistry and led her into the world of biological and functional dentistry. We talk about hidden dental infections, root canals, sealants, airway health, jaw development, cavitations, and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dental work could be affecting your overall health, or you’re trying to take a more holistic approach to healing… this episode is a MUST-listen.

197: Is Your Dental Work Making You Sick? Biological Dentist Toni Engram Explains Everything

Here’s what we discuss:

• Dr. Toni’s personal healing journey with Crohn’s disease and how it reshaped her approach to dentistry
• The powerful connection between oral health, gut health, and systemic inflammation
• Why nutrition and prevention are the foundation of true oral health
• The real risks and considerations of root canals and informed consent
• Palate expanders, jaw growth, airway health, sleep, and child development
• Implants vs. bridges vs. doing nothing: what’s best for overall health
• Simple daily habits for better oral and full body health (including tongue scraping!)
• And so. much. MORE!

This episode will completely change how you think about dentistry, prevention, and the mouth-body connection. If you care about your hormones, immune system, sleep, energy, or long-term health; you NEED this episode!

Hi friends! Happy Friday and hope my US friends had a beautiful Thanksgiving!

It’s been a pretty great week over here. I took the kids and some friends to the trampoline park after their half day at school so they could jump their hearts out, tackled the holiday cooking (made this pie, this green bean casserole with homemade crunchy onions, and picked up a pumpkin loaf, apple pie, and gf gravy from Dedicated),

took the kids to Target (to “browse,” they said) and the Pilot returned from a long trip. The end of October through November has been crazy: he was gone, I left for RHS, we high-fived and he left, when he returned I went to LA, we high-fived again and he left, and now he’s back! WHEW. It was such a treat that he could be here for Thanksgiving!

(dress is here // boots are here)

We had the usual lunch/dinner at my Uncle’s house with all of my dad’s side of the fam.

Sharing some of my favorite gift ideas for fitness and wellness enthusaists, biohackers, and *scrunchy* friends (or even yourself!) this holiday season.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having an amazing week so far. It’s a quick week that ends with shopping and pie – we’ve got this!!

It’s been a busy one over here. Monday night was Liv’s confirmation, so we celebrated with dinner and crazy milkshakes afterwards. The Pilot was on a trip, but I’m excited that he’ll be here for Thanksgiving. What do you have planned? We’re going to my uncle’s as usual, and then heading to Trevor and Danielle’s for a bit.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness, fitness, and biohacking gifts! This is a perfect gift for your *scrunchy* friends… or even yourself. Let’s be real; the best sales of the year happen this weekend, so it’s the perfect time to stock up on wellness essentials, especially if you have health-related goals as we head into the new year.

It’s also worth mentioning here that a lot of the things on this list are nice/fun to have, but not essential. The most important health tools are free, like sunshine, stress management, connection, movement, and solid nutrition.

Holiday Gift Guide for Wellness, Fitness, and Biohacking

Home and kitchen:

Air Doctor. Clean air makes such a huge difference, especially during this time of the year with allergies and colds floating around.

Nontoxic pots and pans. We love Caraway and OurPlace. Each year on Black Friday, I usually treat myself to a new OurPlace pot or pan. Their air fryer is so cute, too!

Water filter. Read more

Hi friends!
I hope that you’re doing well and enjoying the week so far. We have a short school week with Thanksgiving, so we’re planning some fun things to do this week. The weather has been a dream so I’m going to see if I can convince the crew to head out on a hike.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a recap of my trip to Ft. Lauderdale for the Reimagining Health Summit. It was my second time attending this event – check out last year’s recap here! – and my first time attending as a speaker. I was invited to speak on a panel with three incredible coaches – they’ve all inspired me on my journey as an IHP – and even though I was suuuuper nervous, it went really well.

Some highlights from the trip:

– Ft. Lauderdale! It was my first time in Ft. Lauderdale, which is suprising since it’s a Disney cruise port and we loooove Disney cruises – and I thought it was super cute. It reminded me of Jacksonville, which was one of our favorite beach spots when we lived in Valdosta. I arrived a night early and had time to meet up with a Revenue Rx client for dinner at Pura Vida,
