On episode 713 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan sits down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen—a health-based dentist, traditional naturopath, and whole-body health advocate—to dive into her transformative story and the cutting-edge insights from her book, "Living Well with Dr. Michelle: A Comprehensive Handbook for Optimal Health and Unlimited Energy." After mercury exposure from years of dental practice made her seriously ill, Dr. Michelle charted a new course integrating Western and Eastern medical philosophies. In this episode, she shares how she went from following conventional approaches to pioneering her own "Total Care Dental and Wellness Way," merging modern science with time-tested wellness strategies. Together, Coach Allan and Dr. Michelle unpack approachable ways to move from "disease care" to "well care," uncover why your body's energetic signals matter, and break down complex topics—like the elements and seasons of wellness—into simple, everyday strategies. You'll also learn what really counts as "processed" food, how to tune in to your body's unique symptoms, and actionable steps for sustaining energy and optimal health as you age.
