Dr. Michelle Jorgensen returns to The Lindsey Elmore Show to share a powerful truth: your cells—not prescriptions—do the real healing. In this episode, she breaks down the four things every cell needs to thrive, introduces a practical self-assessment for discovering which of your organs need support, and explains why ancient healing systems were often more in tune with the body than modern trends. From grounding to seasonal nutrition to ditching dangerous dental procedures like root canals, Dr. Jorgensen offers a holistic, science-backed roadmap to lasting energy and vibrant health. Additionally, she explains how the mouth can reflect—and even contribute to—chronic illness, and what parents can do to protect their children’s oral and overall health.

Key Takeaways
  • Medicine is a tool, not a cure; true healing occurs at the cellular level.

  • Every cell needs four essentials: supplies, support, security, and signals.

  • Symptoms are messages, not problems to mask, but signals to decode

  • Your body operates in seasons, and understanding your current season can inform your food, movement, and healing practices

  • Traditional healing systems often employed a root-cause approach.

  • Grounding and nature are powerful sources of healing electrons.

  • Protein isn’t your go-to energy source—carbs play a critical role in fueling cells.

  • Hidden dental infections, root canals, and metals can sabotage health.

  • A biological dental approach addresses immunity, oxygen, and the body's electrical system.s

  • Parents should prioritize minerals (in and out) over fluoride for kids’ dental healt.h
