Dr. Vincent Buscemi sits down with Craig Stasio and Nate Dykema of Simio Physical Therapy to explore a conversation most healthcare providers aren't having, but probably should be.

If you're in your 40s, chronically tense, exhausted, and doing everything "right," this episode is for you. Craig and Nate break down how body patterns, airway restrictions, and dysfunctional breathing drive everything from low back pain and anxiety to poor sleep and gut issues, and why stretching and therapy alone often can't fix it.

This is whole-system thinking: posture, breath, nervous system, and the surprising role your dentist plays in all of it.

What if one of the biggest missing pieces in modern health is something you do every single day… without thinking about it? In this video, we uncover the lost art of chewing — and why the way you eat could be quietly affecting your jawline, teeth, airway, digestion, breathing, and even overall health. Most people never question it, but modern food and modern habits may be changing the human face in ways no one talks about. Source We’ll break down what chewing is really supposed to do, how soft diets may be weakening natural function, and why this small everyday habit might have much bigger consequences than you think. Once you see it, you may never look at eating the same way again. Source 🔥 In this video: The hidden health cost of not chewing properly How chewing may affect jaw development and airway function Why modern diets could be changing our faces The connection between chewing, digestion, and breathing What you can start doing differently today 👉 Watch until the end — this might completely change how you think about food, health, and the human body.

In this episode, Dr. Vincent Buscemi explores the surprising connection between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) — two seemingly separate conditions that may share a common inflammatory root. Backed by scientific studies, Dr. Buscemi explains how elevated cytokines like IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α drive both disorders, and how these inflammatory pathways overlap. We’ll also dive into fascinating research showing how sunlight, specifically UV-B exposure, can reduce the risk of developing RA by modulating immune function. Could safe sunlight exposure also benefit TMD patients? While still speculative, Dr. Buscemi lays out the plausible science that connects natural light, immune regulation, and reduced pain. 🔬 Scientific Sources Cited: Arkema et al. on UV-B and RA (Ann Rheum Dis, 2013) Singh et al. on TMJ cross-talk and systemic inflammation (Dent J, 2023) McInnes et al., Smolen et al., Cairns et al., and more (full references in episode) 🎧 Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:00 – What is RA?
