In this insightful interview, Jonathan Marx of GoToHealth sits down with Michael Durbin DDS, President Elect of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), to explore the profound connection between orthodontic treatment and mental health. A healthy, confident smile is about more than just aesthetics—it is vital to self-esteem and overall well-being. Dr. Durbin discusses how misaligned teeth can impact not only oral health and dental health but also emotional health. Children and adults with noticeable dental irregularities often experience low self-esteem, increased anxiety, and even depression. Bullying and teasing related to dental irregularities are common, particularly in children and teens, which can lead to reduced confidence. Throughout the interview, they delve into how a smile makeover or smile transformation through teeth straightening can significantly boost mental well-being. Whether considering clear aligners, Invisalign, or traditional braces, addressing alignment issues early supports better oral health and promotes greater confidence at a pivotal time in development. Dr. Durbin also highlights the mission of the American Association of Orthodontists, an organization representing 19,000 highly educated specialists dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. He emphasizes the importance of a professional exam and warns against the dangers of DIY "fashion braces." Join us as we uncover how investing in your smile is an investment in your health and happiness.

Welcome back to the "Go To Health!" show! I'm your host, Jonathan Marx, and today I have the absolute pleasure of interviewing Carolyn Haeler, the inspiring founder and owner of Mightylicious. In this episode, Carolyn opens up about her deeply personal journey with Celiac disease. Diagnosed in 2012 after months of severe and baffling health issues, she was forced to completely overhaul her diet. But as a lifelong cookie lover, she quickly discovered a major problem: the gluten free options on the market were dry, crumbly, and frankly, disappointing. After one particularly bad experience during the holidays, she had an epiphany—everyone deserves a cookie that actually tastes good!  That realization sparked a mission. Carolyn left her demanding career in finance, turned her apartment into a test kitchen, and spent months mastering the complex science of gluten free baking. She explains to us the hidden sources of gluten in our everyday food and the incredible challenges of baking without the "holy trinity" of wheat flour, eggs, and butter. Today, Mightylicious has grown from three flavors in Manhattan to a nationwide brand, offering decadent, hand-crafted cookies, as well as gluten free mixes and flours so you can create your own sweet treats at home. Whether you're looking for easy gluten free recipes, the perfect gluten free cake, or just some healthy baking inspiration, Carolyn's story is a testament to never settling for less than delicious. Listen to the full interview to hear her incredible story and learn more about the science behind these amazing baked goods!
