how he was to the point of, you know, wanting to depress and wanted to kill himself at one point.

And, you know, it's really a serious thing.

A lot of times associate these neurological disorders with, you know, a lot of things, but the toxicity that's coming in your mouth from even these heavy metals.

Well, our patient pool is not the average patient pool, but our patients are generally very in line with diet and nutrition.

So when they come to us, they've already done a lot of research.

Um, so, but of course bad breath can be coming from a lot of different sources.

You know, a lot of times people think of it as, as a hygiene issue.

Uh, and that could be, um, but you know what, a lot of times it's not necessarily a hygiene issue.

Uh, it actually, it's a sign of imbalance.

It could be an imbalance in your microbiome.

Uh, it could be a gut imbalance.

So for us, it always starts from nutrition.

What are you putting in your body, number one?

Because that's going to balance your gut microbiome.

It's going to balance your oral microbiome if you don't mess it up with typical mouthwashes and toothpaste and ruin that biome.

I mean, for us, when we see our new patient clients and we have a new patient experience like you'll have, we spent majority of the time not even looking at the teeth.

Oh, yeah.

We spend most of the time talking to the patient and discussing things from the cone beam scan, their health, nutrition, gut issues.

So how much time do you spend on looking at the teeth?

I mean, there's a very short amount of time actually looking at the teeth.
