The medical community knows that in order to treat the modern health problems we face today; we need to eliminate and/or reduce the factors that contribute to inflammation in the body. Unfortunately, most diets around the world are very inflammatory and can cause most of the chronic diseases and chronic pain.
The more inflammation you have, the more you will experience pain. Decrease inflammation and the body will start to heal. If you follow an anti-inflammatory diet your body will decrease inflammation and your quality of life will be exponentially better. Most of the dietary diseases orbit around the inflammatory process. Consequently, this diet is good for the entire family.
Eat food that is as natural and clean as possible. Keep away from processed, packaged and canned foods. Avoid white foods like, white sugar, pasta, flour, milk, bread and white potato (one of the most damaging).
The majority of your diet should be composed of fresh, natural, organic fruits and vegetables. The more color your food has the better it is. Spinach, kale, red chard, romaine and red leaf lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, brussels sprouts, collards, arugula, beet greens, red and green cabbage, parsley, raw carrots, berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries), plums, peaches, apples, oranges (in moderation), red and purple grapes (in moderation), cherries, etc. are all good choices. Paler colored foods are permissible, but not as desirable. Melons, celery, cucumbers, white grapes, bananas and pineapple contain more water and sugar and less anti-inflammatory nutrients but are better than processed snack foods. Sugar is very inflammatory can cause weight gain and actually inhibit your immune system, so it makes you more prone to becoming sick.
A good source of protein is nuts. Walnuts and almonds are preferable, but cashews and pecans are occasionally permitted. When possible, try to eat raw nuts to retain the healthy oils. Limit red meat to one to two meals per week. Eat fish at least twice per week. Tuna is considered fish. It is recommended that people eating two servings of fish per week still need to supplement with omega 3 fish oil. Three to four teaspoons per day.
Drink six to eight glasses (8 oz) of pure (recommended distilled or filtered) water per day. Adding some freshly squeeze lemon juice to water is permissible. Try not to drink fruit juice because of the high sugar content. Avoid carbonated beverages.

I am a Dr Olmos success story. I came to him barely able to eat ... did his program which I first walked away from because of the high cost..but then decided I really needed the help. Paid the high price but I'm now pain free. I went back after about a yr because I lost my night guard and was shocked that it's costing me 1700 dollars to replace it!! 2 pieces of plastic. Very disappointed and honestly should have explored other options to replace it. Otherwise... office and staff are extraordinary, very kind, professional and caring.

Great experience! After a few exams on the same day Dr. Olmos was able to diagnose my husband's condition and he put my husband on a treatment immediately. Also Dr and staff are extremely helpful and friendly

After having been a patient with Dr. Olmos at TMJ I actually still look forward to my annual visits. Dr. Olmos is one of the most well informed doctors on many levels that I have known in my life. Creative as he is, he comes up with affective solutions for problems on a whole range of physical issues. Additionally, he always has a very professional, courteous and helpful staff.

I've been to numerous orthodontists and dentists but I've often felt like the most informed person in the room when it comes to my TMJ disorder. I was optimistic going in to see Dr. Olmos but I didn't expect to anything close to what he illuminated about my condition. After 4 years of dealing with progressive pain and tightness from my TMJ condition that has affected my whole body, I thought I knew everything there was to know about my case. But NOW, after coming here, I actually know the root issue. While I have never had reason to think I have sleep apnea or breathing problems, I am so glad I decided to do a consultation. Dr. Olmos knows his stuff! He is kind and knowledgeable and I feel I can trust that I will be in good hands with him through treatment. I haven't yet begun treatment but I cannot wait. I finally have hope and a non-surgical way to treat my case!

Like the other guy said he won't listen to you he thinks he knows everything. If you're wondering what a $400 consultation consists consist of, it is him telling you that nasil strips will help your nose breathe betterAnd somehow fixed your TMJ jaw joint issue. And guarantee he will try to push to sell you a breathing device and say you were born with sleep apnea

I was diagnosed with TMJ nearly 30 years ago. The TMJ became worse over the years to the point of me having migraine headaches. Several months ago, I was referred to Dr. Olmos for treatment. He performed a thorough examination which included a sleep study. The study indicated that I have a mild case of sleep apnea. Dr. Olmos outfitted me with nasal dilators, and a new night guard. Laser treatments were necessary to decrease the inflammation in my jaw. Grape Seed extract is part of my treatment. Before meeting Dr. Olmos, sleep was interrupted, sleeping 10-12 hours a night and waking up feeling tired. Now I enjoy 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and waking up feeling energized. Additionally, mood, mental clarity and focus have improved and no more migraine headaches. Overall my life has improved immensely. Dr. Olmos is extremely knowledgeable and competent expert in treating TMJ. His staff members are friendly and true professionals. Thank you Dr. Olmos for giving me my life back filled with happiness.

He is amazing! I wish I had found him sooner! Dr. Olmos is not just an expert in his field. He is the BEST! Every time I would go in, there would be doctors and their staff from all over the country watching his every move and listening intently. So little is known about TMJ, yet Dr. Olmos has over 40 years of experience. I suffered excruciating jaw pain for 8 years. I tried everything from braces and orthotic splints to physical therapy and medication. I was so depressed and hopeless. Then I met Dr. Olmos and enrolled in his treatment plan. For the first time in a very very long time, I was out of pain and hopeful for the future. Thank you Dr. Olmos! You truly saved my life!

My jaw was in sad shape. I could barely open it. I started seeing Dr. Olmos on January 14th. They did a test to measure the noise and it was between 350 and 400 for both sides. My last appointment was April 6th. They took another noise test and both sides were under 15. My posture also improved. My next appointment is in 6 months. I have been suffering with TMJ for over 30 years and this was the first time I got any relief. Thank you

Dr. Olmos has changed my life. I never new having TMJ was causing so many other problems for me. Severe headaches, kneck and shoulder pain, pain in jaw and a lot more. I had gone to 5 different doctors and all I received was medication and was told they dont know what was causing the headaches. Since treatment for the TMJ all this is gone! I found out I had a deviated septum and I had that fixed as well and can breathe. I highly recommend Dr. Olmos and his team. They are all nice and a fun team.

This isn't pertaining to the practice itself as I reached out to the facility to assist with a hit & run incident that occurred right outside their facility. Susan was kind enough to review the camera and provide me with feedback in a timely manner. Great customer service and great person to work with. Thank you!

I went to the TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre of San Diego for a TMJ problem. Dr. Olmos was very through with diagnosing my particular issues. He developed a plan and worked with me weekly then by weekly. My problem was not 100% solved (it would have been difficult to do so) but there are a number of minor things for solutions. I had been looking for a TMJ doctor for some time and Dr. Steve Olmos is the man!
