Estrogen Dominance with Dr. Daisey Anglow

Low-Tox Oral Hygiene with Dr. Staci Whitman

As many of you know, we are dedicated to helping people detox from as many hormone-disrupting chemicals as possible. Good oral hygiene is essential for a healthy body. However, the conventional oral care industry is very plastic-heavy. There’s polyurethane in toothbrushes, flavored floss can contain phthalates, and there’s even BPA in dental sealants. Transitioning to a greener oral care routine can seem impossible, but thanks to biodentistry, it’s not. That’s why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Staci Whitman. Dr. Staci is a Board-Certified Functional Pediatric Dentist. She is the founder of NoPo Kids Dentistry in North Portland, OR where she takes a whole-body, holistic, and functional approach to her patients. We are so excited to ask about her approach to dentistry.
