Avoid brushing immediately after eating or drinking; wait 20–30 minutes to allow remineralization and reduce enamel abrasion. After vomiting, rinse the mouth, potentially with a little baking soda, rather than brushing right away.

If getting a new filling, try not to have mercury/amalgam placed; prefer composite, ideally a ceramic-based biomimetic material, and ceramic materials when possible.

If concerned about existing amalgam fillings, first get a blood test to assess mercury levels before deciding on removal.

Mentioned as part of supporting detox pathways in the context of plastics exposure.

She is an advocate of sealants on molars/grooves because they reduce cavity risk, especially in kids at higher risk.

If severe dental anxiety is present, consider an anxiolytic to help feel calmer at the dentist.

After brushing, spit but do not vigorously rinse; let toothpaste remain on teeth and in saliva for some duration of action.

Optimize fat-soluble vitamin status for oral health.

Improve overall diet quality as a core way to support metabolic and mitochondrial health; emphasized as foundational and more important than supplements.

Manage substance use by reducing, minimizing, eliminating, and not overusing harmful substances as part of lifestyle medicine.

Avoid high-dose stimulants because they are described as harmful to human health and can overstimulate mitochondria and increase reactive oxygen species.

Be mindful not to overstimulate metabolism or mitochondrial function with substances, as overstimulation can deplete mitochondria and increase reactive oxygen species.

If doing a ketogenic diet or fasting regimen, avoid starvation or deprivation of essential nutrition; ensure adequate calories and nutrients, and use a medically sound approach to optimize health and avoid harm.

Do not use low-fat diets as a health strategy; the guest says low-fat diets need to go away because they performed no better than the standard American diet in the cited context.

Valter Longo's fasting-mimicking diet is described as primarily plant-based and about 600 calories per day.

Use five-day fasting-mimicking cycles several times per year; described as seeming to be fine and improving a wide range of health biomarkers.

Before vaccination, make sure the person is healthy to reduce vulnerability; framed especially around children.

If a child abruptly falls off a neurotypical developmental trajectory after infection, vaccination, or another event, do a full workup rather than just assigning a label; this should include looking for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies and evaluating for central B12 deficiency.

Prospective parents should use evidence-based tools to assess their own metabolic and mitochondrial health and, if available, assess prospective children's health risk.

Prospective parents should use evidence-based strategies to improve metabolic health before conception to improve outcomes for children.

Avoid spending long stretches on social media; use it judiciously rather than spending hours online.

Use a healthy snack you like as a self-compassionate treat instead of less helpful coping behaviors.

After a breakup, stop monitoring the other person's life on social media in order to move forward.
