Did you know your mouth is a mirror of your overall health?
In today’s episode, holistic dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen joins Dr. Krause to uncover the hidden connections between your oral health and chronic conditions like fatigue, hormone imbalance, and even cancer risk.

A former traditional dentist, Dr. Jorgensen’s own battle with mercury toxicity changed the course of her life and practice. Now she helps patients heal at the cellular level by starting where true health begins: the mouth.

If you’re tired of chasing health trends and still not feeling better, this episode will help you uncover the root causes you might be missing.

• Preventive Dental Care: Nutrition, oral hygiene, and the real daily practices that matter

• Emergency Tooth Tips: What to do when you feel soreness, sensitivity, or chip a tooth

• Homestead Living: How Dr. Jorgensen walks her wellness talk on her own homestead

🗣️ “Mercury toxicity can stem from dental practices—not just fillings.”
🗣️ “Your mouth tells the story of your overall health.”
🗣️ “Root canals may lead to chronic infections and immune system issues.”
🗣️ “Preventative care includes proper nutrition and daily awareness.”

• Mercury exposure can silently impact your health.

What if the reason you’re struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or digestive issues isn’t about willpower — but your Metabolic Type?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, I sit down with Martin Pytela, functional medicine expert and metabolic typing coach, to explore how your unique biology shapes the foods, supplements, and lifestyle choices that actually work for you.

We each inherit strengths and weaknesses in three key systems:
✅ Autonomic Nervous System – Are you sympathetic dominant (anxious, wired, stuck in fight-or-flight) or parasympathetic dominant (burned out, chronically fatigued)?
✅ Oxidation Rate – Is your metabolism burning fuel fast or slow? (Think paper vs. logs on a campfire!)
✅ Endocrine System – Thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and ovarian dominance all shape your body type, hormone balance & weight patterns.

When you understand which system dominates — and which needs support — you can use personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to restore balance, energy, and vitality.

✨ In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• The power of biological individuality in nutrition

• Why pH balance is crucial for overall health

• How endocrine dominance shapes weight, metabolism & hormones

• The role of stress, detoxification, movement & emotional healing in restoring health

• Why personalized nutrition is the fastest path to consistent energy and resilience

Martin’s story is inspiring — after healing himself from mercury toxicity, he’s helped over 12,000 clients uncover the hidden causes of their health struggles. His message is clear: true healing is possible, even for long-standing conditions.
