Feb 12, 202400:36:36Tap to summarizeHope and fear in the dental experience. Bringing the EMPATHY back to business. Soft skills are the people skills in dentistry. Communication, empathy, compassion, building trust with patients, making people feel comfortable and their concerns heard. Could connecting to your patients be the hidden key for career burnout? Helping to manage patients dental anxieties, being a gentle person who has compassion and can take their mind off why they are there.

Transcribe →Cranial Distortions: Scoliosis of the Face, Dr Martin Rosen
Sep 25, 202300:53:46Tap to summarizeKey highlights: Cranial Distortions, craniofacial distortion, sphenoid strain, asymmetric face, plagiocephaly flat head syndrome, torticollis, cranial chiropractic adjustments, birth trauma, cranial nerves, Vagus nerve. Dr Martin Rosen, Chiropractor and Pediatric Craniopath will be teaching us about the 12 cranial nerves and their functions and dysfunction. We will discuss how babies develop and the biological role for free movement in babies. In the first year of life they are creating thousands of connections in the nerves and creating pathways based off input as well as growing their brains and integrating primitive reflexes. Have you ever heard of sphenoid strain and was confused as to why that could affect craniofacial growth? The sphenoid bone attaches to all but 2 of the bones in the mouth and cranium, as well as 9 out of 12 cranial nerves are directly affected by the sphenoid bones function. Dr Rosen will also explain tongue function and it's effect on facial growth, development, "If you are functioning at a lower capacity and have to work twice as hard to do the same thing that will effect the baby's ability to eat and sleep, then mom doesn't sleep, dad doesn't sleep, and the siblings doesn't sleep". The problem with "wait and see" for brachiocephaly or flattening of the occipital bone, the cerebellum has to grow 240% in the first year of life and it is located where most babies would have a flat spot in the base of the head. If you are a chiropractor wanting to learn more from Dr Martin Rosen he has the Peak Potential Institute which has in person trainings or online https://peak-potential-institute.mykajabi.com/.

"If I could share a piece of wisdom for you today, stop sleeping on your dreams. They are too important to keep 'thinking about'." The people who have said yes to working with us in Bootcamp or on a One-on-One capacity these last 90 days have seen their lives and businesses change. The ones who have shown up, but haven't really dove in have been doing okay, but still feel stuck. The ones who keep asking about the "secret" or wanting to wait for the right time are still looking for the answers. So my question to you is... When are you going to stop sleeping on your dreams? Or even more importantly... What's stopping you? Money. Time. Resources. Everything is able to figure out. Are you tired of waiting for change and ready to make change happen?

Transcribe →Connection Between the Teeth and Energy Meridians
Aug 28, 202300:56:46Tap to summarizeHave you ever heard holistic dentistis talk about teeth and energy meridians, or teeth and chakras? Did this make you scratch your head in confusion? Here to explain it to us, we welcome back Dr Mary Afzali who has lectured on this for holistic dentists. Eastern Chinese Medicine uses energy meridians in the body when doing acupuncture, and even the teeth have connections to those energy meridians. The canines, called "eye teeth" are ironically connected to the eyes. The premolars are the #1 tooth to be extracted for crowding or malocclusion, and the connecting organs are the lungs and the large intestines. We found this fascinating since in a big picture view people with premolar extractions tend to have smaller airways due to tongue space and also gi issues such as constipation or diarrhea. Dr Mary Afzali is also the recipient of the highest award for Fast Braces practitioner. She is located in Southern California at Lifetime Dental in Lake Forest, San Bernadino, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside. https://doctorafzali.com/contact/ To find her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/doctor.afzali/ The Munch Bunch Wellness and Rejuvenation Retreat.

Transcribe →MMA custom jaw surgery in the same time as it takes for a crown! Guest Dr David Alfi
Aug 14, 202300:40:18Tap to summarizeDr David Alfi, oral surgeon and master of orthognathic double jaw surgery. Dr Alfi is really unique because he uses custom surgical plans so he can do a double jaw surgery in the same time it would take for a crown, 1 to 1.5 hours! Typical jaw surgery is closer to 8 hours! The other thing that makes Dr David Alfi unique is that his patients experience less pain and swelling than typical MMA surgery, pain level at 2-3 compared to severe with most jaw surgeries! People can do virtual consults with him and fly down to Houston for surgery. Some people have such small bone structure or impaired airways it is their best chance to immediately open the airway because you reposition both jaw bones forward. Not only does he focus on the airway but he gets insane cosmetic results. They literally look like different people. Why would someone consider jaw surgery? Underbite, overbite, retrognathia, jaw bone deformities, small airways, patients who wonder if plastic surgery or jaw surgery will give them the best results, severe TMJ pain or possible joint replacement, flat midface (cheeks are not ahead of the forehead when looking at profile), TMJ arthritis, not sure if adult palate expansion or jaw surgery is the best option, nose appears big or has a big bump or "too big for the face", boney facial asymmetry. "Most of the time it's a bad airway and a bad bite. When we address the airway, the TMJ improves." If you want a second opinion on MMA orthognathic jaw surgery or if you should do adult palate expansion or surgery, contact Dr David Alfi's office. https://www.alfioralsurgery.com/oral-surgery-procedures/orthognathic-jaw-surgery-houston-tx/ He is in Houston, Texas at Alfi Oral Surgery.

Transcribe →The Subconscious Body: The Hidden Power of the Subconscious. Guest Alexandra Svalastog
Jul 31, 202301:06:52Tap to summarizeSpecial guest Alexandra Svalastog, Medical Hypnotherapist, Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapist, and Stress consultant. She helps work with the illusive subconscious through hypnosis to rewire the brain to create good emotional health. If you listened to the previous episode "Worms That Poop In Your Mouth" where Nancy talked about her hypnotherapist she saw virtually in Norway, this is that amazing lady! If you have ever been to a Chinese Medicine practitioner, there is a theory that behind every physical ailment is an accompanying emotional issue. The study of psychoneuroimmunology demonstrates how the mind can play a huge role in stimulating the body's natural resources for healing. When we are fighting sickness we are at our most vulnerable. The uncertainty of illness or condition leave us feeling scared or stressed and you focus on the low vibration energy of fear. Changing how you perceive your condition and circumstances can speed healing. The energy you spend on feeling stressed you can now use to soothe, repair and heal your body. Key moments: Positivity affirmator: 3:14 What is hypnosis 5:30 The subconscious is in our body? 14:30 Visualization exercise about the mind body 19:40 The power of imagination 25:00 You ARE good enough 29:30 Shame is not helpful for change 30:08 EFT Tapping 34:37 Acknowledging the feelings 40:09 Loving our shadow self 46:00 Being your own abusive relationship 48:00 Feelings just want to keep you safe 52:30 Worthiness 56:00 Love is the most powerful frequency 1:00:00 How to connect to Alexandra 1:02:39 To contact Alexandra for virtual hypnotherapy her website is https://www.mindpower-change.com/ Megan and Kimi have also used some of her work and can attest it does help improve our inner self talk.
