347. The Surprising Connection Between Your Face Muscles, Teeth & Wellness with Dr Rhona Eskander

This week on The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I am joined by the wonderful Dr Rhona Eskander.

Rhona is an award-winning dentist, entrepreneur, author, speaker and wellness advocate. She is passionate about helping people improve not only their oral health but also their overall wellbeing. Through her work, Rhona combines science, education and a holistic approach to health, empowering people to understand the powerful connections between the mouth, body and mind.

In this inspiring and honest conversation, we talk about so much more than teeth.

Rhona shares her family history and her experience of growing up in an immigrant family, along with the lessons this taught her about resilience, ambition and creating opportunities.

We also discuss her fertility journey, the challenges she faced along the way and her experience of becoming a mother, including navigating the emotions and realities of a premature birth with her son. Rhona speaks openly about both the joys and challenges of motherhood and how becoming a parent has shaped her personally and professionally.

As two female entrepreneurs, we also dive into business, discussing the mindset shifts, lessons and practical tips that have helped us build successful businesses whilst maintaining our wellbeing.

Of course, we also explore oral health and the fascinating connection between our teeth, facial muscles and overall wellness. Rhona shares the essential oral care basics that everyone should know, as well as insights into the mind-body connection and how our habits, stress levels and lifestyle can impact our oral health.
