Go “Outside the Op” for a Wellness Break with Dr. Kimberly Hubenette

FROM BRAIN SURGEON ASPIRATIONS TO A THRIVING DENTAL PRACTICE, MEET KIMBERLY

In an insightful interview with Dr. Kimberly Hubenette, a seasoned dentist, she shares the story of how she decided to pursue dentistry instead of her initial dream of becoming a brain surgeon. She also discusses her biggest challenges as a practice owner, her unique approach to work-life balance, and her diverse range of interests outside of dentistry. Kimberly exemplifies the pursuit of personal fulfillment and embracing life’s adventures amidst the challenges she’s faced along the way.  

Choosing Dentistry over Medicine:

During her junior year in high school, Kimberly experienced a transformative realization. Inspired by her father, a dedicated dentist practicing for over five decades, she recognized the unique benefits dentistry offered. The ability to enjoy family vacations together and the realization that patients under dental care seldom face life-threatening circumstances motivated her to pursue a career in dentistry wholeheartedly.

Choosing Dentistry over Medicine:

During her junior year in high school, Kimberly experienced a transformative realization. Inspired by her father, a dedicated dentist practicing for over five decades, she recognized the unique benefits dentistry offered. The ability to enjoy family vacations together and the realization that patients under dental care seldom face life-threatening circumstances motivated her to pursue a career in dentistry wholeheartedly.

Balancing Work and Personal Life:

Kimberly takes a unique approach to maintain a well-balanced life and career. Drawing inspiration from her late husband, who lived an active life despite battling a rare genetic disorder, she embraces outdoor activities and seeks anti-aging and health optimization techniques. Her passion for the outdoors, including hiking, fishing, shooting, and camping, allows her to decompress from the demands of her dental career. Additionally, writing novels and spending time with her beloved dog, Dakota, bring her joy and fulfillment.

On Finding “Your Thing” and Following Your Passions:

Kimberly advises other dentist-owners to explore various interests and not limit themselves. She encourages dentists to try new activities, pursue their passions, and embrace life to the fullest. By continuously seeking experiences and challenges, one can discover their true calling and find fulfillment beyond their dental career.

Unveiling Hidden Talents:

Beyond her professional achievements, Kimberly shares some lesser-known aspects of her life. She enjoys trap shooting with clay pigeons and has a passion for bird hunting, aligning with her belief in the circle of life when she consumes what she shoots. Additionally, she surprises many with her background as a ballerina for 12 years, demonstrating her diverse range of talents and interests.

Memorable Experiences and Inspirations:

One of Kimberly’s most memorable achievements is hiking Half Dome, an impressive feat that embodies her adventurous spirit and determination. She draws inspiration from a quote she holds dear: “Character is when you do the right thing even when nobody is watching.” Furthermore, she openly shares her regret of not taking more vacations with her late husband while he was still in good health, underscoring the importance of cherishing meaningful experiences with loved ones.

Admiration for Family Resilience:

Kimberly deeply admires her great grandmother’s resilience and perseverance. Overcoming numerous obstacles in her life, including separation from her husband and enduring torture during Japan’s invasion of China, her great grandmother’s sacrifices for her family exemplify strength and love. Kimberly’s great grandmother’s remarkable journey serves as a constant source of inspiration in her own life.

Dream Dinner Guest:

Kimberly would have loved to have dinner with Elvis Presley!

Biohacking Our Genes Using Celsus One® and Nrf2 Activation

HACKING THE GENETIC CODE TO HELP MY PATIENTS LIVE A PREVENTIVE LIFESTYLE

in my practice, I am a “biohacker” helping my patients become healthy at the cellular level, using biomarkers, saliva tests, blood work, and new-age supplements; hacking the genetic code to help my patients live a preventive lifestyle. I often tell my patients that their mouth is an indication of their internal body tissue health. Incorporating the genetic analysis from the Celsus One™ report helps me establish personalized health recommendations utilizing genetic risk factors related to the oral and systemic inflammatory response.  

Utilizing genetics in conjunction with products that activate NRF1 (Nuclear respiratory factor 1) and Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NFE2)-related factor 2) pathways to create internal cellular molecules can turn back the aging process and become part of a full preventive program. Considering that there are over 200 disease processes that start with inflammation, it’s exciting that Celsus One™ shows 8 biomarkers associated with periodontal, diabetes, cardiovascular and arthritis.

Since the lab results show the patient’s own unique genetic makeup, health providers can educate patients on how the genotypes of certain gene markers affect their long-term systemic health. The three innate gene markers: Beta-defensin 1 (DEFB1), CD14 (CD14), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and five acquired gene markers: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) Interleukin 1 (IL1), Interleukin 6 (IL6) Interleukin 17A (IL17A) Matrix Metallopeptidase 3 (MMP3) have different variations in degree of severity in association with inflammatory disease processes. The variation for personalizing patient care helps me to decide on periodontal therapy adjuncts, frequency of periodontal recare, environmental challenges, and ultimately how to best educate my patients in being proactive. My patient’s feel empowered knowing they can potentially influence the effect of their genetics.

Protandim®, Nrf2 Activator™, has 5 patents with over 25 independent peer reviews found on www.pubmed.gov, and is one of my favorite product lines that I have incorporated into my practice. (Previously written: It works at the cellular level to activate ATP and mitochondria and has been clinically proven to reduce oxidative damage by 40% within 30 days). Correction: Protandim Nrf1 activator increases ATP and Mitochondria function and Nrf2 activation reduces oxidative stress by 40% within 30 days. Oxidative stress (free radical damage) is a root cause of all disease processes. Nrf2 is a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation. The Nrf2 protein remains dormant within each cell of our body, unable to move or perform its task until released by an Nrf2 activator.

The Nrf2 genetic pathway turns on over 400 transcription genes such as GSTP1, which is related to detoxification. Prior to the Protandim® product line, Sulforaphane, found in broccoli sprouts, was the “gold” standard of naturally occurring Nrf2 activators. Studies have shown that Protandim® Nrf2 Activator™ is 135-fold more powerful than Sulforaphane. Protandim® Nrf2 is composed of 5 herbs that each in their own right have an ayurvedic effect, but also have been proven to work better together synergistically rather than each component individually. A second activator, Protandim® NRF1, works as a “One-Two Punch,” increasing ATP, mitochondrial DNA transcription, replication activity, and quality of sleep.

I am successfully helping my patients utilize their personalized Celsus One™ results to biohack their genetics, using proven modern tools such as Nrf1 and Nrf2 activators to improve their environments. Reducing systemic inflammation using the most modern science and supplements helps me stay on the cutting edge and I am definitely a BIOHACKER for life.
