Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Leave a Review

What if the key to optimal health lies not just in treating symptoms but in understanding the root causes of diseases? Join us as we uncover this intriguing perspective with Dr. Maria, a board-certified surgeon turned functional medicine expert. Dr. Maria shares her transformative journey from performing GI surgeries to embracing preventive care, illustrating how the integration of traditional surgery and functional medicine can lead to a more holistic approach to healthcare. Through her dual focus on skin cancer prevention and functional medicine, she brings to light the critical role of preventive measures, from sunscreen use to holistic dentistry, in safeguarding our health.

Our conversation with Dr. Maria takes a deep dive into the intricate relationship between skin health and overall wellness. Learn how conditions like leaky gut and immune imbalances might manifest through visible skin issues and how dietary choices, including the consumption of ultra-processed foods, can have a profound impact on your skin and general health. We explore how comprehensive gut testing and personalized dietary changes can lead to significant improvements in chronic health conditions, highlighting the importance of commitment to lifestyle changes in achieving and maintaining health balance.

Functional medicine testing takes center stage as Dr. Maria and I discuss the personalization of patient care through targeted testing and treatment optimization. We examine the challenges of managing gut bacteria imbalance and candida, emphasizing the role of lifestyle changes over antibiotics. The episode also sheds light on genetics in personalized medicine, with insights into how genetic predispositions can influence health outcomes. From the implications of gallbladder removal to strategies for reversing gum disease, this episode is packed with actionable insights for those seeking to take control of their health through a more personalized and preventive approach.

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!
