Welcome to "Healthy Mind, Healthy Life," the podcast that explores the vital connection between our mental and physical well-being. I'm your host Avik, and today, we have a very special guest who is not only a seasoned dental professional but also a passionate advocate for holistic health care.

Our guest today is Dr. Teresa Yang, DDS, a dentist with over three decades of experience practicing dentistry in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. Dr. Yang is not your typical dentist; she has not only built two successful practices from the ground up in today's insurance-driven world but has also dedicated her career to teaching clinical dentistry and patient management at the prestigious UCLA School of Dentistry. Her extensive knowledge and dedication to her field have led her to write extensively on dental topics and serve as the editor of WestViews, a publication of the Western Los Angeles Dental Society.

Dr. Yang's philosophy is a refreshing one, emphasizing that "a person is more than a mouth and a set of teeth." She firmly believes in putting the patient's interests first and has authored a new book, "Nothing But the Tooth: An Insider's Guide to Dental Health," set to be released on August 23, 2023.

In today's episode, titled "The Big Story," we'll delve into the intriguing connection between oral health and overall well-being. Dr. Yang will shed light on how your mouth serves as an entry point to your body, making your dentist a crucial player in the management of your health. With warnings often manifesting in the mouth as early indicators of underlying diseases, dentists are frequently the first to diagnose issues and guide patients toward better health.

But here's the real question: Do you know enough about the various dental practices and procedures that can keep your mouth, and by extension, your overall health, in tip-top shape? Dr. Yang will help us navigate this topic.

In our segment, "The So-What," we'll explore common dental dilemmas and empower you with the knowledge to ask relevant questions about your treatment. Have you ever wondered if a "smile makeover" could enhance your success and happiness? Are you visiting the dentist as often as you should, and do you really know how often that is? Do you leave the dentist's office with a list of upcoming procedures, unsure of their necessity and cost? Dr. Yang will provide valuable insights to address these concerns and more.

So, stay tuned for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Teresa Yang as we embark on a journey to better understand the link between oral health and our overall well-being. Whether you're a dental enthusiast or just someone looking to make informed choices about your health, this episode is for you. Let's get started on the path to a "Healthy Mind, Healthy Life.”

Today, we are honored to have Thom Walters, a seasoned meditation instructor, and the soothing voice behind the widely popular podcasts Zen Commuter and Calmer in 5.

With over 40 years of personal meditation experience, Thom brings a profound understanding of how meditation can provide relief to those battling anxiety and depression. As a former counselor for emotionally challenged adolescents, Thom witnessed firsthand the deep pain that many individuals carry. His own meditation practice became a sanctuary, allowing him to be an observer rather than absorbing the pain around him.

Throughout his diverse career, Thom's empathy led him to recognize the universal pain experienced by people from all walks of life. However, it wasn't until a pivotal moment in heavy traffic, a moment that challenged even his typically calm demeanor, that he decided to start the Zen Commuter podcast. Initially focusing on the positive aspects of living, Thom later honed in on the transformative power of meditation, a realization that emerged during one of his own meditative sessions.

About ten years ago, Thom made the courageous decision to leave the corporate world and dedicate his life to teaching meditation. His mission: to help those suffering from anxiety and depression break free from the relentless cycle of troubling thoughts and feelings of isolation. Thom has touched the lives of hundreds of students, including incarcerated men serving extended sentences, guiding them towards a path of mindfulness and healing.

In today's episode, Thom will share his insights on how meditation, a practice he believes is available to everyone, can cultivate calmness, wisdom, and happiness. Join us as we delve into Thom's transformative journey and discover the profound impact meditation can have on our mental well-being. Welcome, Thom! 🧘‍♂️💚🌟
