  • Rethink Rinsing: Holistic Dentist Advocates for Post-Brushing Pause
    Dr. Jorgensen suggests that not rinsing after brushing allows remineralizing agents like hydroxyapatite to strengthen enamel. She warns against skipping the rinse with traditional toothpastes containing fluoride, which can cause health issues if ingested. For optimal oral health, she recommends brushing 2-3 times daily with safe-to-ingest products and leaving toothpaste on overnight if ingredients are known.
  • Gum Disease: A Silent Threat to Heart and Overall Health
    Dr. Jorgensen reveals that mouth bacteria from gum disease can embed in arterial plaques, triggering inflammation linked to heart attacks, strokes, and more. At-risk groups include teens, pregnant women, and older adults. Warning signs like bleeding gums should not be ignored. Prevention through daily oral care and microbiome-balancing rinses is key to protecting overall health.
  • Surprising Habits That May Be Ruining Your Teeth
    Dr. Jorgensen highlights habits like consuming acidic "health" drinks, mouth breathing, and overzealous flossing as threats to dental health. She warns against alcohol-based mouthwash, excessive oil pulling, and improper brushing timing. Even nail biting and frequent whitening can harm teeth. Her holistic approach combines traditional dental care with functional health for comprehensive oral wellness.

    This easy to use guide breaks down what “health” really means for every cell in your body.
    In today’s sea of often conflicting advice on how to make healthy choices, it can be challenging to weed out the valuable tips from all the rest. The good news? Living Well with Dr. Michelle provides a regenerative, energy-boosting approach to wellness that will empower you to have the energy and health you need to live the life you want.
    Biologic/holistic dentist, and health and wellness provider Michelle Jorgensen (Healthy Mouth, Healthy You; Real Food for Real Families) has seen patient after patient come to her overwhelmed by a deluge of options, misinformation, and conflicting opinions. Far too many of us have no idea how our bodies really work—and she’s here to change that.
    In Living Well with Dr. Michelle, she simplifies the quest for better health based on the best practices from time-tested natural wisdom and evidence-based modern science:
    Promote total body wellness starting with the tiny, living building blocks that make up your body
    Tap into nature’s five elements—fire, earth, plants, water, and air—for better health in everyday life
    Harness the power of electrons to deliver the energy your body needs to repair and recharge
    Jumpstart your journey to better health by knowing what questions to ask and taking an active role in living well

    Packed with self-assessment tools, recipes, and other resources to help you enact these principles in your own life, Living Well with Dr. Michelle will ensure that you can not only stay healthy, but learn to live well.

  • “We are bombarded with a confusing mix of messages about wellness, health, medicine, and healing. When we think about wellness from a cellular standpoint, we see that healing and wellness are already inside of us, that we embody these principles simply through the fact that our body, if properly supported, works with single-minded effort to return to a state of wellness. When you give your cells what they need to stay well in the first place, you don't need healing at all. If a part of your body becomes unwell, either due to disease or lifestyle stressors, there’s often a path back to health that’s again rooted in our bodies and the world around us.”
