The Functional Medicine Center


Dr. Steve Hyjek is a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic, of the Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice Program through the Institute for Functional Medicine, as well as of the Kalish Method for Functional Medicine. He has also completed numerous programs and certifications in Nutrition, Corrective Exercise, Applied Kinesiology, Whiplash Trauma, and various Chiropractic techniques. Dr. Steve works at the Functional Medicine Center in Irvine, CA! One of his specialties, which Kudlik Dental greatly appreciates, is mercury detoxification.

In his article regarding mercury detoxification, Dr. Hyjek describes the effects that mercury has on the body, especially on the brain and hormonal system. These effects include anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, and the inability to lose weight. Therefore, proper detoxification of mercury is crucial to your health! 

Before detoxing mercury from the body, one must undergo an amalgam removal. It is vital to choose a highly trained and trusted Dentist to perform this procedure--like our Dentists here at Kudlik Dental!--, as improper removal is highly dangerous.

After all of the mercury is removed, it's time to detox! Without detoxification, the mercury will remain stored in the body and the brain. Dr. Hyjek narrows it down to three effective steps for mercury detoxification: "Step 1 is upregulating the body's detoxification ability by providing amino acids, enzymes, glutathione, and methyl groups. Step 2 is to use a true heavy metal binder using proper dosing procedures, like we [Functional Medicine Center] use in our office, to detoxify the body from mercury. Step 3 is to use the heavy metal binder to detoxify the brain. This final step is where the true magic happens."

After detoxification, many find that various, seemingly inexplicable illnesses disappear!

Bottle Rot

Sometimes bedtime can be a really struggle, and a bottle might seem like an easy solution. Unfortunately, putting a baby to bed with a bottle of milk or juice does more harm than good, because the easier bedtime comes at the expense of the baby’s oral health. Keeping those baby teeth healthy is crucial so that the adult teeth will have a better chance of coming in straight. In previous blogs we've highlighted the importance of limiting carbohydrate intake to meals to prevent adult teeth decay.  This idea is just as important for children as it is for adults!  Good oral health starts at a  young age, and it’s important we do everything possible to prevent tooth decay from the moment those baby teeth emerge.  What Is Bottle Rot? Prolonged exposure to the sugars in milk or juice  erodes the enamel on a baby or toddler’s teeth , particularly the central incisors. If you’ve ever heard of the phrase “baby bottle tooth decay” or the more sinister-...

Genetics vs Environment Article by Dr. Cindy

“I Have Soft Teeth Like My Mom” Are your teeth susceptible to tooth decay due to your genetic makeup or to your environmental influences? Let’s take a quick look at both sides: Genetics It is well known that you are made up of DNA from both of your parents, and as a result you inherit certain traits from each of them! Perhaps you have your mom’s eyes and your dad’s chin…and perhaps one of your parent’s genes dominates what your teeth are shaped like from the outside, and the other how they are constructed from the inside. But how does that really affect you? Let’s take a look at the anatomy of a tooth. Your teeth are made up of layers:  Enamel is the hard, outer shell; Dentin is the yellow, middle layer; the Pulp chamber is the pink and red inner core of your teeth where the nerve and blood supply reside. The mineral-rich enamel is the first and outer line of defense against decay, protecting your teeth from the surrounding acids. Teeth resist deca...

Natural Ways To Help Prevent Cavities!

B eyond good oral hygiene (brushing 2 minutes both in am & pm + flossing BEFORE the bedtime tooth-brushing), these 5 things can keep you decay free! * Xylitol is a natural sweetener that tastes similar to sugar.  6-10g/day can help prevent decay by fooling decay causing bacteria into thinking it is fruit sugar, and essentially starving the bacteria.  These bacteria also become less virulent with continued use over time.   *Water (and other carbohydrate-free beverages) should be your beverage of choice between meals. Enjoy your juices, milks, and even the occasional soda pop with your meal, when your teeth are already dirty.  If you are unable to brush your teeth after a meal, you should minimally rinse your mouth with water.  * Limit your frequency of eating to 3 meals a day plus 2-3 protein snacks like nuts and cheeses; these are anti- decay foods (nuts may be raw or roasted, but not honey - or sugar coasted). * Brush with baking soda ...
