This newsletter is brought to you by our sponsor, BIOptimizers, makers of my preferred magnesium supplement.
BiOptimizers is confident you’ll be satisfied with Magnesium Breakthrough and offers a 365-day money-back guarantee. If it’s not right for you, you don’t even have to return the bottle—risk-free.
Being in my sixties has shifted how I approach health. I focus less on quick fixes and more on building durable foundations that support longevity and healthspan. As a dentist, I know oral health and overall health are deeply connected, so my daily routine includes supplements that support both. These are the ones I take consistently and recommend to family, friends, and patients.
💊 Magnesium
Magnesium is one supplement I consistently recommend. It’s involved in over 300 biochemical processes—stress regulation, muscle relaxation, and sleep among them. Many people are deficient, and without enough magnesium the body struggles to use Vitamin D effectively, which affects bone and oral health. My sleep and recovery data improve noticeably when I take Magnesium Breakthrough.
BiOptimizers stands behind Magnesium Breakthrough with a 365-day money-back guarantee; if you don’t love it, you don’t even need to return the bottle.

🦷 Bristle Oral Probiotic
The oral microbiome plays a major role in gum health, breath, and links to systemic conditions. I use Bristle’s oral probiotic twice daily as a mint. It contains clinically studied strains to fight bad breath and gum inflammation and includes xylitol, which helps reduce cavity risk.
🩸 Nitric Oxide
Good blood flow is essential for healing and tissue maintenance. After about age 40, the body’s ability to produce nitric oxide declines. Nitric oxide supports circulation, wound healing, and even the oral microbiome. It’s a key supplement for aging adults. I also include arugula in a nightly salad to help boost nitric oxide naturally.
☀️ Vitamin D3 + K2
D3 and K2 work together to ensure calcium is absorbed and directed to bones and teeth rather than soft tissues or arteries. I use a liquid, liposomal formula derived from natto for improved absorption.
🐟 Cod Liver Oil
Remineralization requires Vitamins A and D. I take a high-quality, wild-caught cod liver oil that doesn’t cause fishy burps—an effective way to support strong teeth.
🧬 Liposomal Glutathione
Gum disease has immune and inflammatory components, and glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function and reduces inflammation, aiding gum health.
💧 Mineral Drops
Modern soils are depleted of minerals, and diets can fall short. I use mineral drops daily as a simple, family-friendly way to replenish trace minerals.
🌿 Propolis Throat Spray
Propolis supports the oral microbiome by suppressing S. mutans, a cavity-causing bacterium. I use a few sprays toward the back of my throat daily for oral health, breath improvement, and immune support.
🕒 Melatonin
Melatonin does more than regulate sleep; levels decline with age, so supplementation can be valuable. I take melatonin daily because it helps stimulate bone-building cells, inhibits bone breakdown, and supports tissue regeneration—important after gum therapy or oral surgery.
🧬 Spermidine
Spermidine is particularly helpful during treatment and healing from gum disease. It supports collagen rebuilding and gum recovery and is a useful addition when healing is a priority.
🍊 Liposomal Vitamin C
Most guidelines prevent scurvy but don’t provide optimal amounts for gum health. Higher Vitamin C supports blood vessel integrity in the gums, reducing inflammation and tissue breakdown. My wife and I swish with liposomal Vitamin C each morning on an empty stomach and rinse afterward because it’s acidic.
❤️ Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
CoQ10 is an antioxidant that helps modulate inflammation in the gums. Periodontal bacteria stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that trigger immune responses which can degrade collagen and periodontal tissues. CoQ10 helps reduce ROS and inflammation, protect collagen, and support cardiovascular health. I take 120 mg daily for oral and systemic benefits.
