What Am I Modeling with Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD
Here's the uncomfortable truth: You're modeling something through your behavior every single day, whether you realize it or not. The question that will change everything: What am I modeling?
I'm Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD, a naturopathic physician with an unusual background - I started working as a professional fashion model when I was 9 months old. Between modeling and medicine, I learned to look perfect while completely losing myself in the process.
When my mom died after a 9-month cancer battle, I realized my boys had been watching me their entire lives, learning that pushing through no matter what was the only way to live. That's when I found my way back to myself through hip hop dance and discovered the power of authentic living.
This show is for anyone tired of looking successful on the outside while barely holding it together on the inside.You'll hear my messy transformation stories, raw conversations with people who've stopped performing and started actually living, medical insights on stress and why your body keeps the score, real talk about surviving high-pressure work environments, and permission-giving moments that make you feel less alone.
This is your permission slip to stop modeling burnout and start curating joy.
New episodes every Tuesday.

Welcome back to What Am I Modeling! Today I'm joined by Dr. Toni Engram, biological dentist and integrative health coach, who is completely changing how we think about our teeth — and our overall health.
In this eye-opening conversation, we explore:
✨ Why fluoride may be doing less than you think — and what actually protects your teeth
✨ How your oral microbiome controls your cavity resistance and whole-body immunity
✨ The real truth about root canals, mercury fillings, and when extraction is the better choice
✨ How stress hormones are quietly destroying your gums and teeth
✨ Why your mouthwash could be hurting your heart health
✨ The connection between your mouth, gut health, hormones, and autoimmunity
✨ How to advocate for yourself and make truly informed dental decisions
Dr. Toni Engram made a courageous leap from traditional dentistry to biological, whole-body dental care after her own health transformation. She now helps patients understand that the mouth isn't separate from the body — it's the gateway to it. Her approach blends Western science with Eastern medicine perspectives to create truly personalized, prevention-first care.
Whether you're struggling with unexplained health issues, questioning routine dental procedures, or simply ready to take control of your whole-body wellness, this conversation will change how you think about every dental appointment you'll ever have.
