On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Kristin Yont, a Calgary-based dentist with a remarkable journey from clinical practice to becoming a leader in mind-body medicine. Kristin shares how her personal experience with emotional stress and burnout led her to explore yoga, mindfulness, and ultimately the SMART program—an eight-week stress management and resiliency training course developed by Harvard’s Benson Henry Institute. Kristin opens up about how stress manifests physically, how to break the cycle of negative self-talk, and the importance of building emotional awareness and community within dentistry. From resilience to compassion fatigue, this conversation dives deep into the science and strategy behind sustainable well-being for dental professionals.
