Wellness Dentistry by Dr. Dana Rockey DMD

My passion and focus is on health and wellness - helping patients to achieve and maintain health, rather than simply reacting/responding to disease. That focus is combined with an oral-systemic discipline to patient care.

For Dr. Dana Rockey, a general dentist for 32 years, the last five years have been the most significant. In that time, he has discovered a new way of living and has made lifestyle changes to be healthier. He used to be 60 pounds heavier and used to take pharmaceutical medicines for blood pressure and high cholesterol. About five years ago he discovered that nutrition was really the number one thing that determines how healthy a person is going to be. Nutrition largely determines a person’s longevity, energy and quality of life. Before that time Dr. Rockey didn’t really understand the importance and significane of nutrition. Once he figured that out, it completely changed his life, and his dental practice.

As Rockey learned more about nutrition, his key findings included that eating a plant-based diet was important. In his process of research he discovered the JuicePlus+ product line, whole food put into capsules and shake mixes. The capsules and shake mixes include dehydrated fruits, vegetables and berries – real food, concentrated produce, not a supplement.

Rockey notes, “JuicePlus+’s Complete Shake Mix is the ideal plant-based blend of what we call “macro nutrients” – proteins, fats, fibers.”
