Let go of toxic patterns that negatively impact your life. We start this week's new journey by identifying the heavy mental load you carry every day, from repetitive worries to planning fatigue. Discover how toxins enter your mouth and pervade your physical health with renowned integrative dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi. This session guides you to observe your constant thoughts and non-essential mental clutter without judgment. Learn to gently put down the mental noise so you can create immediate internal space.
