Bulletproof radio, a state of high performance. Talk to me more about regrowing gum tissue. So let's talk about the main reasons that gums start to recede to begin with. So bacteria we've talked about a little bit. Bacteria is probably one of the biggest reasons. And bacteria is based off of diet. The bad bacteria likes to feed off of acids. A lot of the foods that we drink are acidic by nature. What's interesting is a lot of dental products that are mainstream but also natural are formulated and they're not alkaline. They're also acidic. So that if you're brushing with the wrong stuff or using mouthwashes that contain alcohol, triclosan, those type of things, they can also create an acidic environment where the bad bacteria grows as well. Some of those ingredients, including higher doses of peroxide. I know we talked about that a little bit, but, but those can be caustic or if you don't, it can be harsh on the gum tissue as well. Brushing too hard, we don't think about it, but it's common sense. But we still do it because you feel like you need to scrub to get your, your teeth clean and your gums. But a lot of people just brush way too hard. It's really a soft motion. The softer you brush, the more you actually stimulate detoxification and increasing blood flow. It's like a massage. Sometimes when you massage too hard, you create inflammation, you create more problems. And the softer that you massage, like lymphatic massages, if you've ever had them, are extremely. There's no depth to them, it's very light touch. So if we get out of the habit of brushing too hard, you can affect your gums, that you can actually stop. The reason I always tell people when they say can't, you know, some people tell me you can't reverse the recession. And I always had. It's always a two part. You're absolutely right and you're absolutely wrong. You're 100% right and you're 100% wrong. The reason you're 100% right, that you can't stop recession is if you don't make any changes to what's causing it. If you don't stop, stop the root cause of what's causing your recessed gums, you will never stop the process and they will just continue. But if you make a couple changes and you don't necessarily have to do a lot of additional stuff. I know we talked about the red light, that's probably an additional step. But if you make changes in the products that you're using. By allowing the good microbiome to go stop using the harsher ingredients, you can definitely affect the changes of your gums. You can stop the process. You can stop brushing so hard, and then you can regrow the gum tissue. Gums are made of epithelial cells, and the epithelial cells are like the same type of tissue on your skin. So you can regrow gums. I've actually had customers that had gums that were like 4 and 5 on the scale. Come back and email me and say, my gums are now a 2, 3. So it is possible. You just have to stop, stop what's causing it and make some changes.
