  39. From Fatigue to Energy, Dr. Tammy's Cavitation Surgery Experience

  Sep 27, 202629 min

  It started with a photo on a Facebook group. Not even her own patient, just someone's mouth that looked exactly like the mouths Dr. Tammy Holliday saw every single day in her chair. Episode overview: Dr. Katie sits down with her longtime friend and fellow biological dentist, Dr. Tammy Holiday of Holiday Dental Wellness in the Seattle area, for a conversation that moves from Tammy's own health transformation straight into the day she flew to Miami to become Dr. Katie's patient. After 20 years as a vegetarian and years of doctors telling her everything was normal, Tammy found the piece nobody had looked at. Then she went one step further than most dentists ever will, and had her own cavitation surgery done so she could understand, firsthand, exactly what she was asking her patients to consider. What you will learn: Why a single Facebook post about a patient's mouth changed the entire direction of Tammy's career What functional nutrition revealed about her own chronic fatigue after two decades as a vegetarian How Tammy built airway screening, a wellness periodontal program, and biological surgery protocols into her own practice What actually happens during a cavitation surgery, and what came out of a site that had been sitting in her jaw since her wisdom teeth were removed How her bloodwork and inflammation markers changed after the procedure Key themes: Feeling unheard by conventional medicine, and what it takes to finally listen to your own body The gap between "normal" lab results and actually optimal health Walking the talk, becoming the patient before asking patients to trust the process Dr. Katie's perspective: Dr. Katie has known Tammy since the early days of their wellness dentistry training together, and this conversation carries that history. She reflects on what it means to treat a fellow provider, and why Tammy's willingness to travel across the country for her own surgery matters so much for patients who are still on the fence about hidden infections being real. Guest bio: Dr. Tammy Holliday, DDS, is a biological dentist and owner of Holiday Dental Wellness in the Pacific Northwest. Her practice focuses on airway health, functional nutrition, biological surgery, and a wellness periodontal program built around helping patients see and understand what's actually happening in their own mouths.

  38. Dentistry That Treats the Whole Body, Not Just the Smile with Dr. Saba

  Sep 20, 202636 min

  A patient came in wearing Invisalign trays that hadn't been changed in months. Something felt off in her mouth. When Dr. Saba finally got her into the chair, she found a fungal infection growing on the tray itself. One rinse with ozone water and the patient felt relief she'd never felt from anything over the counter. That's the moment Dr. Saba knew there was more to dentistry than what she'd been taught in school. Episode overview: Dr. Katie sits down with Dr. Saba Rizvi, a wellness dentist with over 28 years of experience at My Dentist For Life in Plantation, Florida, to talk about what happens when a dental practice decides to look at the whole body instead of just the teeth. Dr. Saba's shift started during COVID, when her office needed new protocols to reduce viral risk, and it opened a door she never closed. Today her new patient visits include a live microscope look at saliva and plaque, pH and nitric oxide testing, and 3D CBCT airway scans, and her practice uses a laser called the Fotona for biological extractions and a snoring treatment called NightLase. What you will learn: Why Dr. Saba checks a patient's pH and what it has to do with enamel wearing away How ozone therapy is being used for both infection and gum disease What a CBCT scan can show about airway health that a regular X-ray can't Why Dr. Saba doesn't just place implants, she looks at vitamin D, A1C, and nutrition before and after What changed in one patient's face the day after a full mouth reconstruction Key themes: The mouth as a diagnostic window into whole-body health Building a team that gets curious about wellness alongside you Working alongside her daughter, Dr. Lena, and what that partnership has taught her Dr. Katie's perspective: Dr. Katie calls Dr. Saba a "super dentist" for good reason. Full mouth reconstructions, biological extractions, all-on-X implant cases, this is surgery most general dentists refer out, and Dr. Saba is doing it while layering in ozone, laser therapy, and lab work most patients never even know to ask about. It's a real look at what's possible when a dentist decides the mouth and the body were never separate to begin with. Want to understand what a wellness dental visit should actually check for? Join Dr. Katie's free patient webinar to learn what to ask your own dentist. https://go.drkatieto.center/register Links: Dr. Saba's practice: mydentistforlife.com Instagram: @dr.sabarizvi Facebook: My Dentist For Life Guest bio: Dr. Saba Rizvi has practiced dentistry for over 28 years and leads a four-doctor wellness practice in Plantation, Florida, where she and her daughter, Dr. Lena, work alongside a team trained in ozone therapy, biological extractions, and full mouth reconstruction.

  37. Baby Steps to Wellness: A Dentist Mom's Daily Non-Negotiables

  Sep 13, 202637 min

  Most parents already know they should be drinking more water, getting outside, and taking better care of themselves. Knowing that and actually doing it are two very different things, and that gap is exactly where this conversation lives. Dr. Katie sits down with Dr. Liz Garcia, a dentist and mom of three who took over her father's practice, Arbor Falls Dental and Wellness in Jackson, Michigan, five years ago. Dr. Liz has spent the past few years building wellness into both her practice and her home, and she's honest about how messy that process actually was. This isn't a conversation about doing everything right. It's a conversation about doing one thing, then the next thing, and letting that be enough. They talk through the small daily habits Dr. Liz leans on with her own kids: a morning glass of water with Celtic salt and lemon, sunlight in the eyes before the day gets going, no blue light once the sun goes down, and protein first thing in the morning to keep blood sugar steady. She shares why she tests instead of guesses with her own children's health, how she navigated the right timing for her son's tongue tie release instead of rushing it, and why she believes taking care of yourself as a parent isn't selfish, it's the whole model your kids are watching. If you've ever felt like wellness advice is too overwhelming to actually start, this episode is the reminder that baby steps, done consistently, are the whole strategy.

  34. The Mouth-Body Connection, Breathwork Edition with Dr. Drake

  Aug 23, 202625 min

  Dr. Katie recorded this one live at the Beyond Biohacking Conference, and she almost didn't get through her own introduction without gushing. She'd just spent three days in Scottsdale with her guest before this conversation even happened, and it showed. Sports chiropractor Dr. Sean Drake works with elite athletes and high performing executives, the kind of clients who fly across the country for three, four, five days at a time. What he's found after years of doing this work is that the body almost never breaks first. The nervous system does. And once that happens, everything else, sleep, relationships, performance, starts to unravel with it. Why this episode matters Dr. Katie has said for years that working on the teeth alone isn't enough. Dr. Drake says something similar about the body. He's built his entire practice, Modern-E Athlete, around a distinction he makes early in this conversation: a provider treats the symptom in front of them, and a healer treats the whole person. That difference shapes everything else he shares here, including why he sometimes sends new clients home on day one if they aren't ready to do the work. What listeners will learn Why nervous system safety, not physical strength, determines how far someone can go in their body, their career, or their healing The four pillars Dr. Drake uses with every client, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, and why skipping even one keeps healing from holding Why breathwork, something that costs nothing, ends up being the hardest modality for people to stay consistent with How Dr. Drake helped one client go from a Whoop score in the 40s to the 90s, sleeping through the night for the first time in years Key moments and themes Dr. Drake opens up about his own path into this work, including a car accident, an addiction, and a divorce that pushed him into what he calls the worst depression of his life. He's honest that none of what he teaches now came from a textbook. It came from having to find his own way out first. He also talks about why he built breathwork into his own daily practice, twice a day, every day, and why he believes most people avoid it for one simple reason. Feeling your emotions is uncomfortable, and breathwork doesn't let you skip that part. Work with Dr. Drake: moderneathlete.com @ drseandrake Dr. Katie's perspective Dr. Katie connects Dr. Drake's work back to something she talks about constantly with her own patients. Breath doesn't exist in isolation. It moves through the airway, it shapes the nervous system, and it touches the same whole-body systems she looks at every day in her own practice. This conversation reminded her why she started asking these bigger questions in the first place, and why healing anyone, whether it's a tooth or a nervous system, takes more than fixing what's on the surface.

  33. How a Near-Death Experience Taught Dr. Linty to Read What Your Gums Aren't Telling You

  Aug 16, 202637 min

  At 24, Dr. Linty was told she had a 30% chance of surviving. A priest came to give her last rites. She said not today, and meant it. Episode overview: Dr. Linty is tell the story underneath everything she does in practice. What started as a childhood full of unexplained illness turned into a malaria diagnosis that spiraled into acute respiratory distress syndrome at 24 years old. The doctors ran out of options. She didn't die. And that experience became the reason she now asks patients questions most dentists never think to ask. What you will learn: Why Dr. Linty starts every new patient conversation by asking about their birth, their childhood, and old injuries they've long forgotten How her father's 55 years living with diabetes, and her own family's decision to avoid it, changed how she talks to patients about genetics and epigenetics Why a patient can have picture-perfect teeth and still be dealing with an airway issue or gum recession they've never noticed The difference between practicing as a dentist and stepping into the role of a healer, and why that shift changes everything about how you treat people How she decides who's the right patient fit, and why letting the wrong ones go is sometimes the most caring thing she can do Key themes: Survival, faith, and the moment that becomes the turning point of a life Genetics is not destiny, epigenetics gives you more control than you think The mouth holds a record of your history, if someone knows how to read it Dr. Katie's perspective: This episode was recorded live at Beyond Biohacking in Austin, and you can feel that energy in it. Dr. Linty's story is proof that the dentists doing the deepest work usually got there through something personal, not a new piece of technology. It's a reminder that wellness dentistry isn't the next CE course or the next toy in the office. It's a way of seeing people that has to be lived first before it can be taught. Guest bio: Dr. Linty practices at Ohio Holistic Dental Center, where she treats patients through a wellness-focused lens that looks at the whole body, not just the mouth. She's a returning guest of the show and previously joined Dr. Katie to talk about building a wellness-minded dental team.
