Anytime I have the opportunity to learn from a biological dentist, I'm all in. But couple that base of knowledge with someone that has also been biohacking (and utilizing red light therapy) longer than I've been alive? Now we've got ourself a compelling conversation! Enter Dr. Gene Sambataro, whom has seemingly always been way ahead of the curve, as it relates to both the world of dentistry and biohacking. He was questioning and excluding mercury fillings from his practice decades before his contemporaries and was biohacking far before it was a term. What is he doing today that is ahead of its time?In our conversation today, Dr. Sambataro details his path from centralized dentistry en route to the holistic counterpart and why the choice was so apparent to him in a time where is wasn't to virtually any of his contemporaries. As you can imagine, since he was biohacking decades before everyone else, he has accrued many hacks for health that are now also implemented into his biological dentist practice. Along with his professional practice, Dr. Sam is also opening a new wellness center that is focused on performance and longevity. He shares the fun tools and modalities that will be offered at the center.From Dr. Sam's bio on his dental practice website: "There are many physicians that report nearly 80% of all illnesses are related to infections, toxicities, and imbalances in the mouth. I choose to focus on biological dentistry because I believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in the practice of dentistry. A transformation that will shift the focus of dental practices away from the emergency treatment of symptoms towards compassionate, comprehensive and preventative biological care that truly embraces the philosophy of Hippocrates: 'First do no harm.' In this type of health-oriented dental practice, Dentists will become patients Primary Care Physicians." If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Sambataro particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health!
