Dr. Geoffrey | Gum Lifts and All Things Pink and Periodontal
05/23/23 • 32 min
This week I had the chance to reflect a bit more than usual on my relationship with my younger brother Geoffrey, who is sandwiched in between me and my youngest brother Brandon. Btw, if you’ve been to Bensonhurst Dental New York, you know that there’s basically a Rubinshtein in every room — and probably running around the halls as we often consult with each other on our patients. We’re a tight knit family that also happens to work together.
My father, Dr. Alex as well as my mother Dr. Marina — and younger brother Dr. Geoffrey and I are often in the office late into the night helping our patients. You wouldn’t know it by looking at us all grown up now but Geoff and I used to get into some heated tussles at home when we were younger. Nothing too bad, just normal sibling rivalry stuff like throwing dumbbell weights at each other in a battle of sorts that left giant holes in our walls. Mom was furious!
But as we got older I knew I wanted to follow in my parents footsteps and go to dental school at NYU. Being the first-born son with a small amount of high-achiever energy, I did undergrad in 3 years (instead of 4) to get right into being a dentist. Dr. Geoffrey also exhibited a lot of talent and promise and expressed his interested in becoming a plastic surgeon. But the dental practice and thriving business created by my father and mother established a special opportunity for all of us and we convinced Dr. Geoff to pursue a periodontal speciality to round out our family team.
Wow, what a great decision! Dr. Geoffrey has become one of the foremost periodontal specialists in New York and the country with his skills and experience. We are lucky to have him — but I’m feeling extra lucky as his sibling to call him my brother.

There Definitely is Something about Mary Shenouda | Nutrition Edition
This week’s podcast is all about nutrition, featuring private chef and nutrition expert Mary Shenouda. There is definitely something about Mary! It’s true that she prepares custom meals for some of the West Coast’s biggest names in sports. From Major League Soccer stars to players on the NBA Champion Warriors team, she’s at the top of her game. She’s also an entrepreneur and business owner creating her own custom product called Phat Fudge, a little idea that sprouted from her home kitchen in Venice Beach, California.
Mary used to have significant autoimmune issues and debilitating migraines. It got so bad some days at her high-paced tech sales job in Silicon Valley that she would have to take breaks under her desk with a blackout sleep mask and ice packs on her neck just to get through a regular work day.
She visited countless doctors with so-called professionals who either dismissed her symptoms as “mental issues” or misdiagnosed her with other problems that were unsubstantiated by lab results. Frustrated with years of pain and suffering, Mary concluded that her last option was to take responsibility for researching and solving her own health issues and leaned heavily in to nutrition.
She developed a 7-day system called the Gut Reset that gave her body and collaborating doctors new information about how to heal by eliminating and adding certain foods to her diet. Flash forward years later and now she’s thriving and helping others to live healthier lives with food and lifestyle changes.
Many of Mary’s clients need to perform their job at the highest levels. The good news is that there is not a one-size-fits all diet for everyone. This is an “inside job” where customizing to your personal biology matters. Like sleep, exercise (and regular oral hygiene care), nutrition is one of the most important building blocks to good health.
I hope you enjoy this delicious episode of The Crown Prince of Brooklyn as much as I did. Wishing you much continued happiness and good health!
