Ep 54: The Truth About Tooth Decay, Periodontal Disease & Mercury Fillings—with Holistic Dentist Dr. Eric Cornelius

Let’s get real; if you’re chasing wellness but ignoring your mouth, you might be missing a huge piece of the puzzle. In this episode, I chat with holistic dentist Dr. Eric Cornelius about the body-mouth connection, mercury fillings, and why oral health is foundational to everything else.

We’re diving into way more than just brushing and flossing. Dr. Eric breaks down:

  • [11:15] Dental care: from ancient tools to cutting-edge holistic practices
  • [14:45] How our teeth and jawlines have evolved and changed.
  • [35:55] How everyday bacteria sneak into your bloodstream (and why toast is guilty, too)
  • [40:25] The real damage soda is doing—not just to your teeth, but to global health mindsets
  • [48:25] The truth about mercury fillings and what safe removal looks like 


We also talk about Dr. Cornelius’s time working with a remote tribe in Kenya, and a story he shared that absolutely stunned me—about why one teen girl was upset he fixed her front teeth. 🤯

If you’ve been curious about holistic dentistry, mercury detox, or how to support your body’s health starting at the source (your mouth!), this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
