Dr. Arian Izadi

My story began in the dental chair—not as a patient, but as a dentist determined to help my patients find lasting solutions to their problems. One of the most common issues I encountered—especially after COVID-19—was teeth grinding. Patients were often shocked when their fillings failed or when bits of their teeth began to chip away. What shocked them even more was the cost and complexity of addressing the deep cracks within their teeth.

This led me to explore Biomimetic Dentistry, a method that focuses on preserving and strengthening teeth by addressing the root causes of cracks (from heavy grinding) rather than just treating symptoms. It was a revelation that reshaped how I approached patient care. I became deeply invested in prevention, wanting to equip my patients with education and tools to avoid these issues altogether.

But as I explored solutions, I realised the standard quick fix—a night guard—wasn’t enough. The root cause of teeth grinding wasn’t just in their mouths; it was hidden within the complex systems of their bodies—specifically, The Nervous System.

To help my patients, I began creating videos to explain these processes in a way that made complicated, boring scientific concepts easy and fun to digest. However during this time, I started noticing parallels between the restless energy of my patients’ nervous systems and my own— constant racing thoughts, issues with executive function, bursts of creativity, and a mind that never seemed to switch off. One visit to the Dr… Boom… ADHD.

Just like my patients, my nervous system was also in a state of over activation. I searched for answers, but no once could explain why and how this is happening to me, and how to fix it. I kept searching, was determined to understand it on a deeper level and uncover solutions that didn’t involve medication.

My academic and clinical background already spanned dentistry and pharmacy, giving me a unique perspective on the human body. Adding to this, I’d studied mental health and wellbeing through a CPCAB diploma to inform myself and immersed myself in Polyvagal Theory and Psychoneuroimmunology.

These fields became the building blocks for my program, teaching people how to retrain their Nervous Systems, after all, our body should to what our mind wants, not the other way round.
