Did you know that Dentistry was voted the unhealthiest career in the world? Multiple times. That's right, we're number one! The grim reality is that we take on all sorts of professional and personal risks on a daily basis.

At the end of our conversation, we also talked about diet as well.

Jaz's Introduction: Did you know that Business Insider ranked DENTISTRY as the MOST DANGEROUS PROFESSION in the whole world for your health, and they did this multiple years in a row. So, why is it? Why is our job so dangerous?



Jaz's Introduction:I think we know the answers. We're in this horrible posture, we've got this infection control risk, we are sat in this four walls with just one other person, usually. That's gonna drive you mad, as well as the extreme stress that we undertake in our profession of clinical dentistry.

How can we IMPROVE our WELL-BEING in this profession? And we also pivot and talk about some other things that I'm quite interested in like towards the end, we talked about diet, right?

So, I will not eat my first meal quite often until, you know, one or 2pm and then I'll have like a five or six hour window where I consume all my food.



So, what does Rohan think about that? What does he think about paleo diet or carnivorous diet or keto? So, I asked him about this kind of stuff. But before then, we talk about how we can recognize that something's not working for our health and what are the actionable steps that we can take to better improve our health. Welcome to the podcast. My name is Jaz Gulati. You are the Protruserati because now you're listening to this and if you're new to the podcast, welcome.



This segment of the podcast is an IC, so an interference costs. So, slightly pivot away from clinical dentistry. If clinical dentistry is more your thing, then most of my episodes are that but I do like to talk about things that I'm interested in. So, whether it's well-being,
