Did you know that your dental health is intricately linked to your overall well-being? While most of us understand the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, there's a whole realm of dental health that often goes unnoticed. Hidden infections, toxins, and poor oral hygiene practices can lead to chronic health issues that affect not only your mouth but your entire body. This is where the power of holistic and biological dentistry comes into play.

Understanding Holistic and Biological Dentistry:

Holistic and biological dentistry approaches oral health from a comprehensive perspective, considering the interconnections between the teeth, gums, airway, and the rest of the body. These approaches recognize that the health of our mouth affects the health of our entire system. They emphasize treating the root causes of dental issues rather than just addressing the symptoms.

The Role of Dental Infections and Toxins:

In today's fast-paced and stressful world, it is becoming increasingly important to find ways to manage our physical and emotional well-being. One approach that has gained recognition and popularity is mind-body medicine. Mind-body medicine recognizes the intricate connection between our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health, and aims to harness this connection to promote healing and overall well-being.

At Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine, we understand the significance of mind-body medicine in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We offer a range of tools and techniques to help individuals manage their physical and emotional health effectively. Through our one-on-one sessions with Geny Moreno, our skilled mind-body medicine practitioner, and our group visit sessions, we strive to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to enhance their well-being.

So, what exactly is mind-body medicine? It is an approach that integrates the power of the mind and the body to...

1. Nutrition Guidance from Registered Dietitian, Ruben Lespron: Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in managing fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Our registered dietitian, Ruben Lespron, works closely with patients to develop personalized nutrition plans that support optimal health. With a deep understanding of the relationship between food and inflammation, Ruben helps patients identify and avoid inflammatory triggers while incorporating nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods into their diet.

Yesterday, in our Kitchen Behavior Training session, we had such a great conversation around brain health and realistic lifestyle tools proven to impact brain and mental health. Lifestyle Chef, Franklin discussed useful cooking and meal planning tips to help us increase foods and (especially healthy fats) that love us back! He also shared tips used to reduce inflammatory fats that may be hidden in common foods we consume.

Ruben Lespron, Registered Dietitian, opened the floor for the group to share their idea of balance when it comes to healthy foods versus foods that may be deemed as “bad,” such as sugar. With our mind-body medicine practitioner, Geny Moreno, we dove deep into unpacking our relationship with food and belief systems we have constructed in our minds that impact our intake of quality foods!


We also discussed the powerful impacts of having positive community involvement and meaningful relationship connections. Geny discussed how quality friendships and...

At TCLM, we understand how difficult it can be to battle the symptoms of complex, chronic conditions. Often, patients state that they have felt lost in the system, unheard, or passed around to various specialists with no real answers. Many who feel this way are those suffering from symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Unfortunately, those with this condition are often left to their own devices when managing these symptoms and are generally misunderstood or untreated by the medical community.. That is why we have partnered with specialists who have unique insights into the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia development and ways to begin treating the root cause(s) of fibromyalgia.

Professionals on our team have met with various knowledgeable health professionals who are dedicated to unpacking the intricacies behind the development of complex conditions, and those who struggle with fibromyalgia. Such specialists within our ecosystem consist of chiropractors, sleep...

We are thrilled to announce that our clinic is launching a new series of group visit sessions, starting next week, led by our very own Dr. Cheng Ruan. These sessions are designed to provide support and education for patients dealing with autoimmune conditions, POTS/dysautonomia, fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndromes, diabetes, metabolic health (weight loss groups), and those wishing to focus on brain health!

These group visits are a wonderful opportunity to connect with others who are going through similar experiences, as well as to receive valuable information and insight from our expert clinicians. We know that managing chronic conditions can be challenging, and we want to provide a safe and supportive space for you to learn and grow together.

Dr. Ruan is passionate about empowering patients to take control of their health and improve their quality of life. His knowledge and expertise in these areas will provide you with the tools and resources you need to manage your...

Most of us know that our mental health is drastically impacted by physiological as well as psychological triggers. While we may do our best to manage stress, develop resiliency, and incorporate spiritual and mental healing practices, there may be other organic factors at play, contributing to our mental and emotional state. The sad truth is, people may spend months or years attempting to get to the root of these issues and often have no clue where to begin in their search. They may not even know what options and diagnostic tools are available.

Brainview uses a combination of EEG, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) to create a detailed map of brain activity. This allows us to pinpoint specific areas in the brain that may be causing cognitive issues and tailor treatment plans accordingly. Not only have we been able to detect sleep related issues, but inflammation from traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, sinus issues, and even...

What is the difference between biological and holistic dentistry versus conventional dentistry? This is an important question that many of our patients ask when referred to a dental/upper airway specialist. More research has shown that there is indeed a drastic connection between our oral health, mouth structure, jaw and skull structure, and the development of chronic illnesses.

Periodontal disease has been connected to heart disease, cardiovascular issues, metabolic issues, increased, inflammatory responses, poor immune function, hormone imbalances, and blocked lymphatic drainage, pathways. There have been even research studies, showing a connection between infected teeth and development of inflammatory diseases. We do not wish to add a sense of fear to our patients, but we do always want to ensure that we are providing our patients with education related to disease, prevention and treatment options.
