Are you frustrated with conventional health advice that doesn’t work? What if the key to true healing isn’t in a pill, but in understanding how your body naturally operates?
In this episode of The Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen—a holistic dentist, health expert, and author—to dive deep into cellular healing, seasonal health, and the overlooked connection between your mouth and whole-body wellness.
Dr. Michelle shares her personal journey of overcoming mercury toxicity, why modern medicine often misses the mark, and how your body follows a natural rhythm that can help or hinder your health. You’ll learn how to:
- Support your body’s healing at the cellular level
- Align your diet and habits with the seasons for optimal wellness
- Protect your teeth and gums for better overall health
- Avoid common mistakes (like drinking the wrong water!) that sabotage healing
This is more than just health talk—it’s a wake-up call to tune into your body and make real, lasting changes. If you’re tired of quick fixes and ready for real transformation, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
