Show Notes
Dr Dominik Nischwitz is a biological dentist who transformed from "tooth mechanic" to health optimisation expert after solving his own health issues through oral health, and this conversation reveals why the mouth is upstream of everything, how mouthwash destroys your microbiome, and why teeth should never need drilling if you understand root causes.
The mouth is the hotel lobby to your body—if it looks terrible, you don't go in. This episode covers why hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralises teeth naturally, unlike fluoride which disrupts your thyroid, and why chewing hard foods builds square masculine jawlines better than excessive gum.
