Diet is the most neglected part of oral health. It is also the cause of why we have crooked teeth and many other oral problems. Kevin Stock, the first dentist to guest on the show, shares relevant information about the co-relation of food and diet to our teeth, with historical evidence, and how it also affects our metabolic health.

He was once an overweight kid so, at an early age, he was already interested in health and fitness. As a student, he joined physique competitions, but he knew he wasn’t healthy. He wanted to figure out the health and fitness code. A decade later, he has finally found both sides of the equation, and it's more than just body composition.

In this episode, he reveals the truth about the human diet according to fossilized teeth, the pros and cons of different dental procedures, and why it’s okay if we don’t do a 100% strict carnivore diet.

Get to know our guest:
Kevin Stock majored in chemistry, but instead of taking the pre-med route, he continued to dental school. His area of focus is obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing.

“It's a poor diet that causes damage to the mouth that is causing the same kind of metabolic damage that impairing the heart as well as the brain. So, I do think that is the root cause here for sure.”
