Naturopathic Oral Health The Root Of The Matter

Can your mouth reveal the secrets to your deepest health imbalances? In this powerful episode of The Root of the Matter, Dr. Rachaele Carver sits down with Dr. Aviva Wertkin, a seasoned naturopathic doctor who reversed her own “incurable” conditions over 13 years ago—using the principles of functional medicine and deep root-cause healing. Dr. Aviva shares her heartfelt journey from patient to practitioner, and how she now helps others uncover and heal the underlying causes of disease with compassion and clarity.

Together, they explore how the mouth is a diagnostic window in naturopathic care, with telltale signs found in the tongue, breath, cheeks, and more. This episode is packed with insights on topics such as stress and immune function, vital vitamins and minerals, female hormonal balance, B-vitamin deficiencies, and the connection between mouth ulcers and systemic health. You’ll also learn about oral pH, amalgam fillings, heavy metal detox, and the importance of drainage pathways in true, lasting detoxification.

Dr. Aviva also explains how she uses Applied Kinesiology to pinpoint imbalances and tailor treatment. Whether you’re looking for natural approaches to chronic health challenges or simply want to feel more empowered in your wellness journey, this episode is a treasure trove of practical and profound information.
