  • Ep.76, “All TMJ Patients Are NUTS”… Here’s What That Really Means, Dr. Jamison Spencer

    Ep.76, “All TMJ Patients Are NUTS”… Here’s What That Really Means, Dr. Jamison Spencer
    2026/04/07
    📝 In this episode of ASAP Pathway, hosts Drs. Stacy, Michelle, and Tracey are joined by a highly respected leader in the field of TMJ and dental sleep medicine, Dr. Jamison Spencer. With nearly three decades of experience treating over 25,000 patients, Dr. Spencer brings a powerful and paradigm-shifting perspective to a topic many dentists avoid: temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Why are TMJ patients often labeled as “difficult”? Why do so many clinicians feel unprepared to treat them? And perhaps most importantly—are we sending patients to surgery when we don’t have to? This conversation dives deep into the gaps in dental education, the misunderstood progression of TMJ dysfunction (from clicking to locking). Dr. Spencer challenges long-held beliefs and introduces emerging, non-surgical approaches—like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)—that are changing outcomes for even the most complex cases. The discussion also connects TMJ to airway, growth and development, and early intervention in children—highlighting why dentists play a central role in both prevention and long-term health outcomes. This is more than a clinical conversation—it’s a call to rethink how we diagnose, treat, and truly understand TMJ.About Dr Jamison SpencerLearn Adult Dental Sleep Medicine and TMJ Therapy: The Spencer Study Club⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro + ASAP Pathway welcome 00:29 — Meet Dr. Jameson Spencer 03:07 — Spencer Study Club + TMJ education 04:14 — Why dentists avoid TMJ patients 06:38 — “All TMJ patients are nuts” explained 07:28 — The problem with dental education on TMJ 08:23 — The dangerous gap: do nothing vs surgery 08:56 — PRF: A game changer in TMJ treatment 10:02 — Why surgery often makes TMJ worse 11:12 — Patients flying in to avoid surgery 12:26 — Why PRF works (and why it’s different) 13:19 — Peptides, exosomes, and regenerative medicine 14:51 — Dentistry vs medicine: prevention vs sick care 16:20 — Why most TMJ surgeries can be avoided 17:48 — What patients actually care about: pain + function 19:57 — Can joints actually heal?

  • Ep.75, Still Exhausted? Why "Successful" Sleep Apnea Treatments Still Fail, Dr. Layne Martin and Chris Gillette

    Ep.75, Still Exhausted? Why "Successful" Sleep Apnea Treatments Still Fail, Dr. Layne Martin and Chris Gillette
    2026/03/31
    In this episode of ASAP Pathway: The Podcast, Dr. Stacy dives into a powerful and eye-opening conversation with Chris Gillette and Dr. Layne Martin on a topic that is often overlooked in Dental Sleep Medicine: sleep architecture. While most discussions in airway dentistry focus on opening the airway and reducing apnea events, this episode challenges that narrow perspective. Chris, a registered sleep technologist with over 20 years of experience, and Dr. Layne Martin, a Dentist with Orthodontic Residency experience, share how treating apnea alone does not guarantee restorative, high-quality sleep.They explore what happens between sleep stages, why fragmented sleep can leave patients feeling exhausted even after “successful” treatment, and how both CPAP and traditional oral appliances can unintentionally disrupt the brain’s natural sleep patterns.The conversation expands into pediatric sleep, mouth breathing, growth and development, and why early intervention matters more than ever. Dr. Layne Martin also shares how his own journey—from full mouth rehab dentistry to orthodontics and sleep—completely shifted how he evaluates and treats patients.This episode is a must-listen for dentists, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in understanding why true sleep health is far more complex than just airway management—and how a more comprehensive approach can transform patient outcomes.Chris Gillette: LinkedInDr. Layne Martin: LinkedInairVata WebsiteOpen Air Pillow ($25 off either pillow code: ASAP_Podcast25)$35 off airVata for the Month of April 2026!

Treating apnea alone does not equal good sleep Reducing AHI (apnea events) does not guarantee that a patient is getting restorative sleep. Sleep quality and architecture matter just as much. 2. Sleep architecture is critical to health True restorative sleep requires proper cycling through stages: Stage 1 → Stage 2 → Deep Sleep → REM, multiple times per night. 3. Fragmented sleep is a major hidden issue Micro-arousals caused by discomfort, devices, or airway instability can prevent patients from reaching deep and REM sleep—even if apnea is treated. 4. Foreign objects can disrupt the brain CPAP masks or bulky oral appliances can trigger the brain to perceive a threat, leading to disrupted sleep transitions and poor sleep quality. 5. REM sleep is essential—and often missed Patients frequently miss REM sleep due to fragmentation, leading to fatigue, poor recovery, and long-term health risks. 6. Mouth breathing has no physiological benefit The nose has dozens of functions that support health, while mouth breathing contributes to poor airway function and overall health issues. 7. Jaw position and stability matter in sleep An unstable or falling jaw can worsen airway obstruction and contribute to poor sleep quality and clenching/grinding. 8. Dentistry is always affecting airway Whether intentional or not, every dental treatment (orthodontics, restorations, night guards) impacts airway and breathing.9. Pediatric sleep is critical for development Children require deep sleep for growth and brain development. Disrupted sleep can lead to developmental and health issues. 10. Traditional approaches may be too narrow The current model often focuses only on airway mechanics, ignoring neurological and physiological aspects of sleep.11. Comfort drives compliance If a patient cannot tolerate a device, they will not use it—making even the most effective treatment useless.12. Sleep medicine needs a more comprehensive approach True treatment must consider airway, neurology, behavior,...

  • Ep. 74, From Survival to Fulfillment: A Dentist’s Story of Recovery, Dr. Jaren Argyle

    Ep. 74, From Survival to Fulfillment: A Dentist’s Story of Recovery, Dr. Jaren Argyle
    2026/03/23
    📝 In this episode, Drs. Stacy and Michelle sit down with Dr. Jaren Argyle, founder of The Elevated Dentist, for a deeply personal and important conversation about mental health, fulfillment, and the hidden emotional burden many dentists carry. Dr. Argyle shares how the traits that often make dentists successful—high achievement, perfectionism, and deep care for others—can also create the perfect storm for burnout, depression, and isolation. He opens up about his own life-changing experience with suicidal ideation during a difficult season in his marriage, and how that moment became the catalyst for a profound shift from external validation to internal peace.Together, they explore why so many dentists define success by productivity, revenue, and outside expectations, and how easily that can pull them away from what they actually want in life and practice. The conversation highlights the importance of vulnerability, coaching, supportive community, and what it means to move from “prevention” toward actively promoting wellness, joy, and fulfillment before crisis occurs.This episode is an honest and hopeful reminder that professional success does not guarantee emotional wellbeing—and that it is possible to build a life and practice that truly align with who you are.Suicide Hotline: #988, Open 24/7/365LinkedIn Jaren ArgyleFB Jaren ArgyleIG Jaren ArgyleThe Elevated Dentist Redefining Success MasterclassBooks of Interest Below: ⬇️Wheel of LIfe AssessmentSuccess MindsetsThe Gap and the GainInto the Magic Shop📖 CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Welcome + Introducing Dr. Jaren Argyle01:45 — Why dentistry can be the “perfect storm” for mental health struggles03:28 — The three personality traits common in dentists06:42 — Why dentists blame themselves when things go wrong09:14 — The problem with success being defined externally13:06 — Jaren’s personal story: marriage struggles and reaching a breaking point17:24 — Suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and the moment things shifted20:24 — From external validation to internal loci of control22:38 — “I don’t need my wife, but I want her” — changing the framework26:20 — Climbing the wrong ladder: why dentists chase the wrong goals33:16 — Needs vs wants, oxygen masks, and redefining what matters34:18 — Vulnerability, ego, and why dentists struggle to ask for help42:16 — The Gap and the Gain: how dentists measure success the wrong way47:05 — Why Jaren created The Elevated Dentist55:20 — Utah wellness events, unique ability, and designing a more fulfilling life01:05:02 — Promoting wellness instead of waiting for crisis01:15:19 — Rapid-fire questions and closing reflections🧠 Key LearningsDentistry creates a unique mental health risk profile Dr. Argyle explains that many dentists share three traits: they are high achievers, perfectionists, and deeply caring people. That combination can create a powerful internal pressure that becomes difficult to manage.Dentists often define success externally From school onward, many dentists are conditioned to measure success through grades, performance, productivity, revenue, and approval from others rather than by internal alignment or peace.Clinical success does not guarantee personal fulfillment A growing practice, income, and professional milestones can all be present while a dentist still feels emotionally empty, stuck, or disconnected.Suicidal ideation can appear suddenly Dr. Jaren Argyle’s story highlights that these thoughts may not always come after years of chronic depression—they can emerge quickly when stress, hopelessness, and emotional burden collide.Internal loci of control can be life-changing One of Jaren’s biggest turning points was realizing he could no longer define his worth based on someone else’s happiness or approval.There is a powerful difference between “need” and “want” Shifting relationships and life circumstances from need to want creates freedom, healthier attachment, and less emotional dependency.Dentists need more support before crisis Jaren emphasizes that wellness conversations should happen before someone reaches burnout, depression, or suicidal ideation—not only after a crisis.Vulnerability is essential for healing Dentists often struggle with ego and self-protection, but asking for help, opening up, and becoming more vulnerable is a crucial first step toward change. Many dentists live in “the gap” instead of “the gain” Comparing yourself to an ideal or to others creates discouragement, while comparing yourself to your own growth and progress creates a healthier mindset.Fulfillment grows when you work in your “unique ability” Identifying the work that energizes you, aligns with your strengths, and creates meaning is key to building a sustainable and joyful professional life.Wellness should be actively promoted, not just crisis-managed A major theme of the episode is the idea of promoting wellbeing, joy, connection, and ...
