What if the secret to your overall health began… in your mouth? In this transformative episode, Dr. Rose Cantu, DDS reveals how your oral health is the mirror of your metabolism — and how every bite you take shapes not just your smile, but your hormones, your gut, and your future. The Elite Smile Method Podcast blends cutting-edge science with timeless spiritual wisdom to help you reclaim your health from the inside out. Segment 2 – The Modern Diet & The Truth About Artificial Ingredients: The modern diet is chemistry disguised as convenience. Artificial sweeteners, seed oils, and processed additives rewire your taste buds, spike insulin, and ignite inflammation. Dr. Rose Cantu, DDS explains how ultra-processed foods hijack your biology — and what you can do to reclaim it. Segment 3 – The Soft Food Revolution: We’ve made food too easy to eat — and our bodies are paying the price. Modern diets of soft, processed foods weaken our jaws, narrow airways, and disrupt hormone balance. Research from Harvard’s School of Dental Medicine and Frontiers in Oral Health shows that chewing tough, fibrous foods strengthens bone, boosts saliva, and improves posture, breathing, and metabolism. Discover why chewing — an ancient, forgotten act — is one of the most powerful tools for oral and systemic health. Segment 4 – The Hidden Hormone Chaos in Our Food: From pesticides to plasticizers like BPA, our diet is laced with endocrine disruptors that mimic hormones and confuse our biology. The Endocrine Society and Environmental Health Perspectives warn that these chemicals alter estrogen, insulin, and thyroid balance — fueling inflammation, infertility, and metabolic disorders. Dr. Rose Cantu, DDS empowers you with practical ways to detox your diet and rebalance naturally. Segment 5 – The Mediterranean Model & Biblical Nutrition Wisdom: Modern science finally meets ancient scripture. Explore how the Mediterranean diet — rich in olive oil, figs, fish, and whole grains — mirrors the foods of the Bible. Backed by The New England Journal of Medicine, this diet lowers inflammation, supports the heart and brain, and feeds the oral and gut microbiome. Learn how faith and food intertwine to create divine health. Segment 6 – The Science & Spirit of Fasting: Fasting isn’t deprivation — it’s restoration. Research in Cell Metabolism and Nature Reviews Endocrinology reveals that fasting improves insulin sensitivity, triggers cellular renewal (autophagy), and enhances mental clarity. Dr. Rose Cantu, DDS connects this biological wisdom to the spiritual discipline of fasting — practiced by Moses, Daniel, and Jesus — as a path to both physical and spiritual renewal. Segment 7 – Detox Begins in the Mouth: If you want to detox your body, start by detoxing your mouth. Learn how to create a clean oral environment free from inflammatory triggers and toxic ingredients, so your body can finally begin to heal from within. Segment 8 – Renewing Your Smile: The Path Forward: Dr. Rose Cantu, DDS shares insights from their Amazon eBook Renewing Your Smile — your guide to recipes, oral-healing foods, and mindful rituals to align your nutrition, your microbiome, and your energy.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
