Biology Before Surgery: How Your Blood Heals You Faster Than Any Pill

01/10/2025

This episode is a game-changer for anyone preparing for surgery—or simply wanting to understand how the body truly heals. Recorded after the Swiss Dental Solutions Congress, Hana and Eva share their biggest takeaways from Dr. Joseph Choukroun, the creator of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin).

More than a technique, PRF is a shift in philosophy: your blood holds the code for healing—you just need to activate it.

From Biohacking to Biological Dentistry

What if your best post-surgery medicine isn't a drug—but your own plasma?
PRF therapy uses your blood's growth factors to accelerate healing of bone, gum, and tissue after surgery.

Hana and Eva share how:

  • Dr. Choukroun discovered PRF while treating chronic pain

  • PRF contains over 150 healing messengers (cytokines, platelets, stem cells)

  • Your blood quality depends on your lifestyle—before you even sit in the chair

"Your blood tells us everything. About your health. Your habits. And how fast you'll heal."

Prepare Your Body—Before the Procedure

Most people wait until they're in pain to think about health. But healing starts before surgery.

Dr. Choukroun's protocol includes:

  • High vitamin D3 levels (90-100 ng/ml) to support tissue repair

  • Vitamin C, Omega-3, and Magnesium for immune function and inflammation

  • Avoiding alcohol, sugar, smoking, seed oils, and gluten at least 10 days pre-op

  • Eating 2g of protein per kg of body weight to aid cell regeneration

Hana and Eva break it down into one core message:
"Your lifestyle is the most important part of any healing protocol."

Antioxidants, Free Radicals, and the Truth About Inflammation

Not all inflammation is bad. Some is needed for healing.
But when your body is in chronic stress, poor nutrition, or low immunity, inflammation becomes dangerous.

This episode explains:

  • The balance between antioxidants and free radicals

  • Why nutrient deficiencies slow healing—especially after dental surgery

  • How to bio-individualize your preparation for optimal recovery

From Dental Surgery to Systemic Healing

At DUO Smile, surgery is never just about the teeth. It's a whole-body process.

Dr. Choukroun's approach teaches us:

  • That the quality of blood = quality of recovery

  • That biology comes before surgery

  • That the future of dentistry is integrative, cellular, and personalized

"We don't fix. We activate the body's own intelligence to repair itself."

Why This Matters for Healing

True healing doesn't begin with tools or surgery. It begins with:

  • How well your blood flows

  • What you put in your body

  • How you support your cells from the inside

This episode is a reminder that regeneration is biological, not mechanical.
And that healing happens fastest when you support the body's natural wisdom.

Ready to Prepare for Healing—Not Just Fixing?

If you're facing surgery—or simply want to optimize your body's healing capacity—this episode invites you to:

  • Boost your vitamin and protein intake

  • Eliminate what suppresses your immune system

  • See blood not just as a diagnostic tool—but as a healing one

  • Shift from reactive medicine to proactive biology

Because the body doesn't need fixing.
It needs the right conditions to remember how to heal.
