Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) Certified Practitioners set the standard for functional medicine in their industry and today’s guest is no exception! In this episode, Dr. B is joined by Dr. Staci Whitman; an IFM-certified pediatric dentist, founder of NoPo Kids Dentistry, and a repeat visitor on the show. Tuning in, you’ll hear about Dr. Staci’s holistic approach to her practice and why she had a hard time “bootstrapping” the education she needed to become a true leader in functional dentistry, which still isn’t accepted as a specialization by the ADA. Dr. Staci highlights the importance of being proactive and empowering patients and shares her advice for any practitioners looking to take a more natural, whole-body approach to dentistry. Tune in to learn more about what it can look like when medicine and dentistry actually work together, plus get a sneak peek at the exciting functional dentistry course that Dr. B and Dr. Staci are codeveloping!
