Welcome, Dr. Tom to Hunger Hunt Feast! Tom is the first dentist in the US to apply DNA-PCR technology to all of his patients in the treatment of oral infections, he is the founder of Oral DNA Labs: sold to Quest Diagnostics and Chief Dental Officer for Quest Diagnostics.

Listen in as Zane and Dr. Tom talk about how the bacteria in your mouth can cause heart disease. This insightful conversation is the perfect episode for anyone who wants to take their overall health to the next level.

QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:

  • Oral bacteria can cause systemic inflammation in the rest of the body
  • Oral bacteria can embed themselves in endothelial lining of the arteries beginning the process of heart disease, atherosclerosis
  • You can have a healthy diet and exercise routine and still develop heart disease from the bacteria
  • These bacteria can also cause cancer.
    Periodontal bacteria associated with metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes.
  • Genetic testing on the bacteria to determine the level of pathogenic bacteria population.
  • There are specific antiseptics used to reduce the bacterial pathogens that most dentists are not using

Hosted by fitness expert Zane Griggs, Hunger Hunt Feast | Strategic Fitness digs into a fundamental rhythm that shapes everything we do. It starts with a craving-for better health, a stronger body, or a more fulfilling life. That’s the Hunger. What follows is the strategic pursuit, the Hunt, where plans are made and work gets done. Finally, there’s the Feast, enjoying the tangible results and the satisfaction that comes from earning them.

You’ll hear conversations that move beyond generic advice, focusing instead on the systems and mindsets that turn a need into focused action, and that action into a reward.
