Eat Well to Heal Well: What Novak Djokovic, Gluten & Supplements Teach Us About Regeneration

We often think of elite athletes and dental patients as worlds apart. But in this episode of Healing Through Dentistry, Hanna and Eva connect the dots between Novak Djokovic's gluten-free transformation and the deep healing needed after dental surgery.

Turns out, what you eat—and what you stop eating—can change everything.

🧠 From gluten sensitivity to heavy metal detox, this conversation reveals how inflammation, gut health, and nutrient depletion can block healing at the deepest levels. It's also a powerful reminder: healing your mouth is really about healing your whole system.

🥐 Novak Djokovic & The Gluten Effect

When world-class tennis player Novak Djokovic discovered that gluten was the hidden cause of his cramps, emotional swings, and breathing issues—his entire game changed.

Eva and Hanna unpack this story with admiration and insight, linking it to what they see daily in practice: people unknowingly inflamed from foods they think are "healthy."

"He realized the very thing that fed him as a child—bread—was the thing keeping him from reaching his peak."

That shift mirrors what DuoSmile now recommends for patients preparing for dental surgery: skip gluten, sugar, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, and bad oils for at least a month before and after treatment.

🥦 Why Detox Needs to Start Before Surgery

If your liver is overwhelmed, your body can't process:

• Leftover anesthesia
  

• Heavy metals from fillings
  

• Environmental toxins
  

• Inflammatory foods
  

That's why clients are guided through a pre-surgical liver detox, including:

• No fats (not even avocado or olive oil)
  

• Clean, plant-based eating
  

• Gentle herbal support and hydration
  

The result? Faster recovery, more clarity, better sleep—and often, emotional shifts that go beyond the physical.

🥩 Why Most People Don't Eat Enough Protein

It's not just about what to avoid—it's about what to add back in.

Hanna and Eva now recommend 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, especially during healing. That means if you weigh 65kg, you need 130g of protein per day. This fuels:

• Collagen and bone regeneration
  

• Hormone production
  

• Immune resilience
  

• Tissue rebuilding post-surgery
  

Clients often notice other "side effects" too—like clearer skin, stronger hair, and fewer cravings.
