In this episode:

Dr. Jason Horwitz and I talk about the mouth–body connection, and why issues like TMJ pain and bite alignment are often overlooked drivers of chronic discomfort. We discussed how stress, posture, nervous system load, and the way your bite comes together can quietly affect pain, sleep, inflammation, and overall well-being.

Dr. Jason Horwitz, DDS, is a nationally recognized dentist and technology leader known for his expertise in cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry. He has trained dentists across the country in CAD/CAM systems, 3D imaging, and computer-guided implant procedures, and has served as President of the Florida Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, is a Fellow of the International Congress of Implantology and is an accreditation candidate with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

This episode covers:

A new study from Yale showing that parental stress may be a major, often overlooked driver of childhood obesity that's impacting parenting behaviors, children’s eating habits, and weight outcomes more than nutrition advice alone.

In the veggies of the matter, we take a deep dive into what stress actually is (any demand requiring the body to adapt) and how cumulative “stress bucket” overload from emotional, physical, and environmental sources can lead to symptoms like hormone imbalances, digestive issues, fatigue, and blood sugar dysregulation. I also outline a few practical ways to manage stress by both reducing inputs and increasing resilience through sleep, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle shifts.

I sat down with psychologist Meg Tuohey to talk about something I see constantly in my practice: high-achieving women who are doing everything “right” (eating well, exercising, reading the books, setting the goals) and still feel disconnected or unsettled.

Meg Tuohey is a licensed psychologist, sought-after speaker, and host of the Wisdom Stripes podcast. Upon its one-year anniversary in October 2025, Wisdom Stripes reached over 1.8 million lifetime downloads and ranked Top 15 in Education in the United States. Her work centers on helping women reconnect with themselves, understand their inner world, and lead with clarity and wisdom—especially during moments of trauma, transition, or identity fracture.

Grounded in evidence-based psychology and shaped by decades of clinical experience, Meg is known for meeting women where they are and helping them move beyond survival into grounded leadership within themselves, their families, and their communities.
