Hey, everybody. Welcome to this week's episode of Red Pillar Healthcast. My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholz here with

Lauren Johnson FMP. And we're going to continue with the most asked questions. Let's start with question number one.

Well, let me go through what all of them are going to be because that's what we did last time. I think that's a pretty good way to start the podcast. So receding gums, twitches and ticks, hyperhydrosis,

low vitamin D, seasonal allergies, and vasectomies. So let's start with receding gums. Lauren,

what do you think of when you hear of receding gums? Well, I think of a few things.

So first, I would wonder if the person has metal fillings, mercury fillings, if the person

has a history of root canals.

Because what is the body responding to?

I would wonder that.

I would wonder, I think there's also a depletion of antioxidants that typically occurs because that is what I have seen.

I had this issue myself after being on birth control for many years and having three root canals over the course of five or so years, and which I've since all had taken

out. I, and now I don't have, I don't, I mean, I haven't been to the dentist recently, but like,

I have seen a massive change myself in my gum and my gums. And so I think that you really need to look at their history

and say, okay, what all of you, what all have you gone through dental wise? Look at their diet.

Why is the body using up so many antioxidants? If they're antioxidant depleted, why is the body

using up so many of them?

And so that would be something to consider.

And also increasing antioxidants, I think is great too.

But like, why is the body using them up?

And so looking at all that.

And then, of course, got dysbiosis in general, which I know we've talked about at length.

Charlie, what do you say about?
