Description
Today’s interview is about a topic I have researched and loved for years. I think it’s firmly established by this point that I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to health, and no subject makes my heart flutter more than dental health.
Yep, see … geek!
Dr. Steven Lin with the Dental Diet Prescription …
Finding new ways to take care of my teeth and prevent cavities was one of my earliest experiments on the road to healthy living and the results convinced me of the power of a real food diet.
I’m here today with Dr. Steven Lin who is a board-certified preventative dentist. He trained at USYD with a background in biomedical science, and he’s a passionate whole-health advocate, focusing on the link between nutrition and dental health.

reasons why sugar isn’t the real culprit in tooth decay … and what is actually to blame
why you can still get cavities even if you brush and floss
how important fat-soluble vitamins are for oral health
why the oral microbiome matters (and how to protect it)
how each tooth is part of the immune system (and why teething is an immune event)
