Dr. Elizabeth Boham, director of the Ultra Wellness Center, joins us to unravel the transformative power of functional medicine. Ever wondered what it takes to truly address the root causes of illness rather than just masking symptoms? Dr. Boham shares her compelling journey from conventional medicine to functional medicine, spurred by her personal struggle with breast cancer at the young age of 30. This episode promises to offer unique insights into how addressing the root causes of disease can lead to real, lasting wellness.

Functional medicine emphasizes a whole health approach, and we discuss the vital role of collaboration between various specialists. From the unexpected link between oral health and systemic diseases like dementia, to the critical importance of individualized dietary plans, Dr. Boham sheds light on the interconnectedness of our bodily systems. Through her own experiences and professional expertise, she helps dispel common misconceptions about what it means to eat healthily—highlighting the significance of dietary diversity and the impact of food sensitivities on overall health.

We also dive into comprehensive patient care, focusing on the importance of a detailed medical history and the often-overlooked role of oral health in systemic inflammation. Dr. Boham offers practical advice on managing stress, ensuring good sleep, and building a supportive network, all of which are foundational for a balanced health plan. This episode is packed with actionable insights, including the role of dentistry in reducing inflammation, the impact of environmental toxins, and practical tips to incorporate detox-friendly habits into your busy life. Tune in for a holistic approach to health that can transform your wellness journey.

I’ve been going to Dr Carver’s office for the past two years, and can’t say enough good things about them. The entire staff is kind, gentle and caring. Their appreciation for alternative approaches and detoxing is so refreshing. Highly recommended.

J.F.

I have had several bad dentists in the past. On a visit to my daughter, a cap on my front tooth broke off. Dr Carver repaired it very well, still holding. We moved into the area and I made an appointment with Dr Carver, she has made me forget about the bad ones. I’m very satisfied with the work she has done, she fixed several poorly done work performed by my previous Dentist.

P.M.

When I described to Rachaele my 6 weeks of severely congested ears that had led me to near-deafness, I didn’t expect her, a dentist, to have an answer for me. But she did. After two ozone treatments, the left ear is back online and the right ear is beginning to clear. It’s returning me to pleasurable engagement with life when nothing else had helped me. I am so grateful.

I have on my side a 9″ surgical scar from kidney Cancer 4 years ago that always bothered me to the point I had to buy a abdomen strap since the surgerie. So when Dr. Carver introduced to me Ozone Therapy I was sceptical at first but after the first treatment and thought that maybe it was psycho somatic but when I received my second session I was less pre-occupied with the pain. As for the third session I was able to moe my lawn for the first time in nearly five years Without the Adomen Strap! So now after the forth session im not feeling much of the pain I’ve had to deal with All These Years! Seeing that Her primary profession is Dentistry its incredible that all the Drs I’ve been to None of them offered help and I was told that it’s what I’ll have to Deal with and I should be happy that I didn’t die of cancer.
You can’t loose, at least Give it a Try!
