In this special episode of the Healing Through Dentistry podcast, Hana and Eva record from Sedona, Arizona, after attending conferences in Boston and San Antonio. Surrounded by nature, they share a deeply personal reflection inspired by their stay at Briar Patch Inn and a powerful encounter with its 98-year-old owner.

Through her life story—and the story of her husband, a dentist who became a nutritionist after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis—they explore the true foundations of longevity, healing, and preventative medicine.

This episode goes beyond dentistry and into what truly supports long-term health: nutrition, movement, connection, purpose, and the ability to disconnect and return to self.

“We’re learning from a 98-year-old woman that longevity is not one thing—it’s a way of living.”
