Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

74 - Is Your Root Canal Ruining Your Health with Dr Michelle Jorgensen.
Q: Could you take us through the why and what a root canal is doing and the dangers in the actual procedure of a root canal?
Root canals are technically a way to save a tooth by removing the nerve and sterilizing the interior, but tiny tubules inside the tooth can still harbor dead tissue and bacteria, which can continually challenge the immune system and potentially affect overall health.
79 - Yogi Cameron: Ayurveda Asks "Is This The Life You Want?
Q: How do you assess a patient in Ayurveda, and what has changed in your approach over the years?
I focus on the whole person—doshas, gunas, nadis, chakras, and their behavior—while adapting to a more time-constrained world where people often resist or struggle with self-care.
79 - Yogi Cameron: Ayurveda Asks "Is This The Life You Want?
Q: What piqued your interest in Ayurveda, and what led you to pursue it beyond mere interest?
There is a universal pull toward this world; after a decade in fashion, I felt a shift toward inner peace and purpose, which led me to train in yoga and Ayurveda and ultimately become a practitioner.
70 - The Art of Noticing: Japan's 72 Micro-Seasons with Emily Smith.
Q: Can you describe a little what they do with the vegetables that they find and how they treat them?
Emily shares that the Japanese pick these vegetables with a strong sense of seasonal appreciation, often preserving them through salting, pickling, or cooking them in traditional ways.
70 - The Art of Noticing: Japan's 72 Micro-Seasons with Emily Smith.
Q: Can you explain to us how your micro season project came to life?
The project started when Emily realized the rich seasonal culture in Japan during her travels, where she connected deeply with nature and foraging traditions.
