Dr. Donald Tanenbaum, a specialist in orofacial pain and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain, joins Dr. Dean Mitchell to explain what TMJ actually means (it's a body part, not a diagnosis) and why he treats jaw diso...

Johann Ilgenfritz was a fashion photographer with no background in healthcare when he was first diagnosed with melanoma in 2011.

Ilgenfritz, now the founder of UK Health Radio, joins Dr. Dean Mitchell to share how he approached that second d...

Simple daily breathwork can meaningfully calm your stress response, Dr. Dean Mitchell explains in this week's tip. A few minutes of slow, deep abdominal breathing tops the list, since most of us breathe shallowly under stress in ways that quietly affect the heart, lungs, and oxygen levels. One striking example: just five minutes a day of basic breathing exercises, easily learned from free videos online, can have a profound effect o...

Being ready for a medical emergency doesn't require expecting a disaster, Dr. Dean Mitchell explains in this week's tip.

Dr. Dean Mitchell's Health Tip of the Week: outsmart ticks before they make you sick. From his conversation with Dr. Saravanan Thangamani, the top prevention move is a simple habit — a full-body self-check every time you come in from outside. Another easy win: spraying clothing with permethrin, which kills ticks on contact. And if you find one, don't just toss it — bag it and send it to a lab (like Dr. Thangamani at SUN...

Simple habits do more to protect you from viruses than any supplement, Dr. Dean Mitchell explains in this week's tip.

One striking example: during the COVID pandemic, 75% of passengers on a bus in China caught the virus, but the 25% who didn't were seated by an o...

Before assuming a new walking problem means Parkinson's disease, Dr. Dean Mitchell shares a key insight from his conversation with neurologist Dr. Alexander Stilbans: not every shuffling gait points to the obvious diagnosis. Many treatable conditions, including degenerative hip disease, spinal stenosis, and certain medications, can cause changes in how you walk, especially after age 60. One patient's case makes this clear: a 72-yea...

Before assuming a new pain means something is physically wrong, Dr. Dean Mitchell shares a powerful framework from the work of Dr. John Sarno and mind-body medicine: ask yourself what's happening emotionally before asking what's wrong with your body. Dr. Sarno's concept of Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) suggests that unresolved stress, inner conflict, and unacknowledged worry can amplify or even create physical symptoms. Take 60 s...
