Dr Thom 4 Better Health
"Good health isn't a mystery. It's measurable!"
Dr. Thom's Story
Dr. Thom & Jan Lokensgard
I have always held a special fascination in the sciences and I have also had a love for music.
As I grew older, I had the opportunity to satisfy both of those loves. While attending college I worked as a pathology autopsy assistant where I experienced quite a few autopsies and head posts with some very brilliant pathologists. After being accepted into the Endocrinology program I opted to enter the field of Dentistry.
Believing there was a connection between nutrition and wellness I began questioning the inherent logic of prescribing pharmaceuticals for every symptom that came along. As I continued treating my patients and expanding my education, it became increasingly clear there was a proven connection between nutrition and optimal health. When a 2001 Harvard Medical Study connected silent inflammation to periodontitis and heart disease, the link for me was complete.
Along this journey, I met Jan whom I was smart enough to marry. She was like a little hippie mom who was into organic gardening, health foods, nutraceuticals, and natural births. She knew that Fluoride was a poison and would not allow it used on her children. With her support and encouragement, we became a team.
This leads me to my gift in music. I began picking on the guitar and singing in a band in my teens and at coffee houses during college. Once I was established as a dentist, it was my passion to write songs and record them. When circumstances lead me to a record producer in Los Angeles, I did my first album, Day by Day. It reached number one on three radio stations in the Midwest.
Low and behold, that record producer moved to Nashville, which was instrumental in Jan and I moving to Franklin, Tennessee in 2008. We again set out to do another album, "Captive of My Heart". Both of these albums are found on Spotify under mine and my son's names,
Thomas Jordan and Day by Day.
When we moved to Franklin, Tennessee I eventually opened a Biological and Holistic dental clinic, As they say, "All roads lead to Nashville," and I certainly found that they do. I had patients coming to my clinic from all corners of the United States. The opportunities were numerous and the Lord brought the right people into my life that opened doors I had never imaged.
My dream of living near the ocean finally came true when we made the move to St Augustine. Together Jan and I have six children and eleven grandchildren. The hardest part about our moving to a nice, warmer climate like Florida, is that it is far away from our loved ones who are spread out around different areas of the country. Next to our relationship with the Lord, our family is our first love. We don't know anyone who doesn't adore being a grandparent.
Our three youngest granchildren. Two beautiful granddaughters, Evelyn and Vivien, and a handsome grandson, Oscar.
Dr. Thom's Later Training & Experience
After I sold my first dentistry practice in Minnesota, I spent three years pursuing my Naturopathic Medical Degree (NMD), from Clayton College of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama, graduating with highest honors. In 2003, with training in Botox and dermal fillers, I entered the field of cosmetic facial aesthetics and started my Oral-Med Aesthetics Business. I then joined the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), and pursued board certification and fellowship status as a Diplomate (ABAAHP) in 2009, which really tied it all together for me. Since that time my passion has only grown.
My Life-Rejuvenation Program and its content is the fruit of that passion. With over 30 years of clinical experience and with memberships in numerous organizations, I continue my quest on a daily basis for the answer to my third question about life.
Life Rejuvenation Systems™ is the comprehensive, practical compilation of the sum total of my professional clinical and educational experiences, seminars, lectures, notes, and in-depth studies. The results that come from the applied modules and protocols of Oral Rejuvenation and Age Rejuvenation assists in the process of taking personal responsibility for your health needs, as well as revealing The Creators magnificent self-healing potential built in to each cell of the human body".
After my retirement, I completed my book, Matters of the Mouth.
My next project is to complete my two comprehensive programs, Biological Dentistry Enhancement Program which consisit of the Oral-Rejuvenation Moldules, and the Age Rejuvenation Life Enhancement Program, and his Age Management Guided-Wellness Protocols and Life Enhancement Therapies.
