    Cavitations Explained: Dr. Kelly Blodgett on the Hidden Jawbone Problem - 29

    On this episode of The Whole Health Podcast, co-hosts Megan Barnett, MS, CNS, and Dr. Kelly Blodgett, DMD, NMD, IBDM dive into the hidden world of jawbone cavitations and why they matter far beyond your mouth. Dr. Blodgett explains what cavitations actually are—fatty, degenerative osteonecrosis of the jaw—how they commonly form after tooth and wisdom tooth extractions, and why they’re so often missed in conventional dentistry.

    Topics Discussed:

    -Why traditional tooth extraction techniques (relying on a blood clot alone) often lead to cavitations, and how biologic dentistry uses thorough debridement, grafting, and patient preparation to support true bone healing.

    -The role of bacteria and biofilms in cavitation sites, how oral microbes travel via the bloodstream, and the parallels with periodontal disease, arterial plaque, and Alzheimer’s pathology.

    -How patients can advocate for themselves: understanding their extraction history, recognizing possible systemic clues, and seeking out biologically minded dentists trained in cavitation diagnosis and treatment.

    Financial Health with CPA Jeff Gullickson: Stress, Planning & Peace of Mind - 27

    On this episode of The Whole Health Podcast, co-hosts Megan Barnett, MS, CNS, and Dr. Kelly Blodgett, DMD, NMD, IBDM sit down with their longtime CFO and CPA, Jeff Gullickson, to explore what financial health really means. Together, they unpack how money stress—from debt and taxes to economic downturns—shows up in the body and impacts overall well-being. Jeff shares his journey from entrepreneur to “virtual CFO” and offers practical tools for reducing financial anxiety, clarifying your “why,” and aligning your money habits with the life and health you actually want.

    Topics Discussed:

    • How financial stress—like debt, taxes, and economic downturns—directly affects physical and mental health, and why avoiding money issues often makes anxiety and health outcomes worse.
    • Jeff’s approach as a CPA and “virtual CFO”: helping clients clarify their why, set 3/5/10-year goals, and create practical systems (automation, budgeting, emergency funds, retirement planning) so their finances support their life and health, not the other way around.
    • Ways listeners can improve their own financial health right now, including educating themselves, finding trusted financial professionals, using resources like books and podcasts, and aiming for balanced “whole health” where money is simply a tool aligned with their values and overall well-being.
