On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a former traditional dentist who became a pioneer in health-based dentistry after mercury exposure nearly ended her career. They explore how dental issues like root canals, mercury fillings, and fluoride treatments may contribute to chronic illness—even decades later. Dr. Jorgensen explains the role of the oral microbiome, how hidden infections can trigger immune dysfunction, and why dental health impacts everything from hormones to cardiovascular risk. You’ll learn how to identify hidden threats in your mouth using cone beam CT scans, how to avoid unnecessary root canals, and why hydroxyapatite is a smart alternative to fluoride.
