The holidays can turn even the calmest dentist into a stress ball wrapped in tinsel. Between packed schedules, patient emergencies, and family expectations, it’s easy to lose your peace and your presence. In this episode, Dr. Dovidio, dentist, yoga teacher, and wellness consultant, shares practical ways to regulate your nervous system, protect your energy, and find ease in the holiday hustle.

You’ll learn:

• How to use mindfulness to calm stress in real time
• Simple “micro-shifts” that create more peace and presence in your day
• Why joy and boundaries are the secret to sustainable success — in and out of the operatory

Dr. Dovidio also shares two tools for dentists who want to end the year with clarity and start 2026 with calm confidence:
