Hi everyone! Welcome to our show notes for Episode #3 of The Enlightened Pharmacist.
What is holistic dentistry?
Are you stressed? Do you have low-grade inflammation that manifests as low energy and not being able to fulfil your life’s purpose?
Stress lowers immune function and drives chronic inflammation, a common denominator to all chronic disease and the pitfalls of ageing.
To have good health, we first must understand stress by identifying ALL stressors in our lives and work towards minimising them as best as possible.
Today’s guest, Dr Ron Ehrlich will help us unpack this from his 40 years on the job as a holistic dentist
