## Resource

Dr. Volker Menzel is a dentist with over 30 years of clinical experience, specializing in implantology and periodontology. His work goes beyond conventional dentistry, focusing on the connection between oral health, nutrition, and metabolic well-being. After overcoming his own health challenges — including prediabetes and neurological symptoms — through a ketogenic and later carnivore lifestyle, Dr. Menzel developed a strong interest in root-cause medicine. He emphasizes the role of chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in both dental and systemic diseases, advocating for a more holistic, prevention-focused approach to care. Known as 'The Carnivore Dentist,' he now shares insights on how nutrition and lifestyle can positively impact both oral health and overall well-being."
