Dental health is mostly neglected by people because they either find it scary, unaffordable, or they’re just too busy for it. Oftentimes, people also tend to ignore it when they do not feel any pain or they just don’t see any problems with their teeth.

Nevertheless, dental health is also an integral part of our overall health, and neglecting it could lead to more serious diseases.

In this episode, we will learn if dental health could really be associated with chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s. Don’t miss this episode as we are also joined by Dr. Rosy from Rosy Dental and the lead dentist at TongueOut.

Put some peace of mind behind that smile as we talk about dental health on Episode 32!

In a world where we’re constantly flooded with much more than we can handle, may we not forget to seek something to lean on for strength and hope.

Healthcare providers – particularly nurses, can best establish a relationship with their patients by fostering a relationship with them to promote healing and wellness.

Mind-body-spirit means that wellness does not only come from physical health but mental and spiritual health, as well. And to be healthy, we should always take a look at these three aspects of our nature.

In this episode, let’s listen to the different stories of healing through spiritual and mental support with Eithne Keegan - a Faith Community Nurse serving as an RN Advocate for the Hoag Faith Community Nursing Program.

Memorable Quotes:

• Sometimes, one prayer with a patient is probably the most important thing that they have gotten out of the office visit. — Dr. Dung Trinh
• Maybe healing has a different definition to God. It may mean that you’re done with your suffering and then come back to him. — Dr. Dung Trinh
• Know that you are loved. — Eithne Keegan
• Remember that even the homeless persons are children of God and He loves them as much as He loves you. — Eithne Keegan
• Hug somebody today. — Eithne Keegan

Despite the millions of Ukrainian refugees heading to nearby countries, there are still some who choose to stay on the ground and continue to fight. The Russian attacks are horrific atrocities and have caused immense suffering, fear, and heartbreak. These people are the ones experiencing traumas and fears from getting tortured and arrested for no reason.

But why would they stay in their country rather than become a refugee? When would this war end? How can Americans help the Ukrainians? What are they doing on the ground?

Let’s hear out the people who are there and living through the nightmare. Today is a rare opportunity to hear four brave women telling stories of what they’re seeing and experiencing in Ukraine. Don’t miss this special episode of Health Talks with Dr. Trinh!

• My child shouldn't live in an apartment of people that I have never seen nor sleep in the bed of people that I have never seen. — Valery Shyrokova
• Nothing will ever be more important than human values. — Tatiana Grinuova

Important Points:

God designed people to be biologically wired to have fear to make us aware of impending danger and take action against it. Fear is an internal mitigation tool against risk. But if not controlled, we easily get manipulated by fear, which holds us back from taking the next step to success.

As we live in a feeling-based world, no one can ever invalidate how we feel. But feelings can lie frequently and not all feelings are accurate towards reality.

When we stay being chronically fearful, our body is activating the inflammatory factors that affect our physical health. As a consequence, it accelerates aging and contributes to illnesses. In short, harmonious health and life promote better health.

In this week’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Timothy Jennnings to share the integration and biblical principles to a healthier brain function. Dr. Jennings is the President and Founder of Come and Reason Ministries and has published books such as Could It Be This Simple? and The God-Shaped Brain.

Memorable Quotes:

• It's significantly destructive to us when we react to fear because fear contributes to illness and accelerates aging. — Dr. Timothy Jennings
• We must present truth and facts that empower people to be able to make intelligent decisions — Dr. Timothy Jennings
• Fear may hold us back from taking the next step to getting a better career or knowing a healthy relationship. — Dr. Dung Trinh
• Let's look at faith, use reason and science, and then compare that to the real world. — Paul Roberts

Other Resources: 

• https://comeandreason.com/

Important Points:

• The laws of health are the laws upon which health and life operate and function, and as you harmonize with them you promote better health.
• Fear, from any cause that is chronic in nature, activates the immune system which kicks up inflammatory factors and undermines physical health.
• When you are socially isolated, you have a higher mortality rate. You can't fight illnesses, as well. You have more cancer rates, depression, or dementia. 
• Much of the fear is driven by misinformation, falsehoods, and propaganda. It's not being driven by actual science or evidence. 
• What you believe means how you feel; how you feel means what you do, and what you do leads to certain results.

About the Guests:

Timothy R. Jennings, MD is a board-certified Christian psychiatrist, master psychopharmacologist, international speaker, a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and a fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association. His books include Could It Be This Simple? and The God-Shaped Brain.

On February 24th,  Russia began invading Ukraine,  forcing millions of Ukrainian citizens to evacuate for their safety from the chaotic bombings and killings.

Poland, a country next to Ukraine, is no stranger to the bitterness of history, having been in the crosshairs of the Second World War. Because of this, they widely opened their doors to the Ukrainian refugees. Millions of refugees turned to  Poland and other nearby countries to find temporary homes, causing the governments to seek more financial assistance and support.

This week’s episode is an eye-opener for everyone. We are joined by Ola Dinh, a Communication Director at Bully! Entertainment, to share news and stories on the ground as they work to help Ukrainian refugees, how they are now living their lives, and how we can help them.
