Dr. Michelle is an author, speaker, educator, biologic/holistic dentist, and wellness advocate dedicated to helping people live healthier, more vibrant lives.   For over a decade, she practiced traditional dentistry until her own health crisis revealed the hidden dangers of mercury exposure. After being diagnosed with mercury poisoning—caused by years of removing mercury fillings—Michelle began a personal journey to restore her health. That journey transformed not only her career but also her life's purpose.   Through extensive study and experience, she discovered natural, practical ways to heal and thrive—finding solutions in the kitchen, the garden, and everyday living.    Today, as the founder of Living Well with Dr. Michelle, she shares her knowledge to empower individuals and families to create a healthier lifestyle through simple, sustainable changes.   Timestamps (may vary by 2-4 minutes depending on your podcast platform)    02:55 Introduction to Holistic Dentistry 03:55 Michelle's Health Journey and Discovery of Mercury Poisoning 09:52 Transitioning to Holistic Practices in Dentistry 17:44 Understanding Mercury Fillings and Safe Removal 25:49 The Fluoride Debate and Its Implications 27:04 Innovative Solutions: Hydroxyapatite Products for Dental Health 27:46 The Importance of Minerals and Vitamins for Dental Health 33:04 Best Practices for Maintaining Healthy Teeth 38:00 Understanding Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry 48:27 Hidden Dangers of Wisdom Teeth Removal   (Website) https://livingwellwithdrmichelle.com/   (Facebook) www.facebook.com/livingwellwithdrmichelle   (Instagram) www.instagram.com/livingwellwithdrmichelle/   (Youtube) www.youtube.com/c/LivingwellwithDrMichelle   (Tiktok) www.tiktok.com/@livingwellwithdrmichelle

In this powerful in-person conversation, I sit down with Gavin Meenan from Modern Warrior to explore some of the most fundamental challenges we face as humans—self-acceptance, self-doubt, and the courage it takes to truly meet our pain. Gavin opens up about his personal journey with low self-esteem and rejection, sharing the practices and mindset shifts that helped him develop genuine self-acceptance. We go deep on why so many of us struggle to accept ourselves as we are, the difference between self-acceptance and complacency, and how confronting our pain—rather than running from it—is often the path to real freedom. This isn't your typical motivational conversation. It's raw, honest, and practical. Whether you're battling self-doubt, struggling with rejection, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, this episode offers real wisdom and actionable insights.
