Episode 127 THE MOUTH-BODY CONNECTION: How Your Oral Health Affects Everything | Dr. Toni Engram

You can spot a mouth breather from across the room — but what if that simple habit is reshaping your child’s face, disrupting their sleep, and setting the stage for autoimmune disease? In this episode, Dr. Toni Ingram — biological dentist and founder of Flourish Dental Boutique in Dallas — joins us to uncover the powerful link between your mouth and your overall health. We dive into: • The truth about mouth breathing, nitric oxide, and cardiovascular protection • How the oral microbiome drives inflammation and chronic illness • Why dental plaque is a living biofilm — and what that means for disease risk • Natural ways to strengthen teeth and rebalance your microbiome (no fluoride required) • The oral clues behind poor sleep, ADHD-like symptoms, and immune dysfunction Dr. Ingram reveals why your mouth is the gateway to your body — and how small daily practices like tongue scraping, xylitol sprays, and nasal breathing can transform your energy, sleep, and long-term health.

WIALD : A focus on Polyphenols

Polyphenols fall under the category of phytonutrients. Which are plant nutrients that confer health benefits. Polyphenols specifically are food for our microbiota and are involved in housecleaning of potential pathogenic pathobionts. We should really strive for about 1000mg-1500mg of polyphenols in our diet daily as the evidence is stacking up for their health benefits for colon health, brain health, cardiovascular health, and overall inflammation support. In this episode of WIALD (what I am lea...

Biofilm in human health . Dr. Deanna Berman

Biofilm are communities of bacteria that form in many places in the body including the lumen of the gut where bacteria transition from a free forming and moving organism into joining a community of bacteria living in a unit called biofilm. Biofilms are most acknowledged in dentistry as the purpose of flossing is largely to disrupt biofilm. Also, they are of grave concern in medicine as biofilms often form to the detriment of the host on implants, tubes, and catheters. The significance of biofi...

Minding Your Microbiota with Andrea Hardy, RD

The human genome project led to the understanding that the genetics in our body are only about 1% human! What else makes up the genetics our microbiota?  The other genetics in our body are from bacteria, viruses, fungi, phages, archaea and the likes that live in our body; predominately in our gut.  Some of these relationships are commensal while others are pathogenic and the relationship between us and our cohabitants are part of the study of the microbiota. In today's episode we speak to Andrea Hardy, RD a GI dietitian about the intricacies of our gut microbiome and how it relates to health and disease. We will discuss nutrients that enhance our microbiome, polyphenols, fiber, and the concept of the Aging Microbiome. Show notes are over at https://www.soundintegrative.com/andreahardyrd

The Gut-Skin Axis with Lucy Mailing, PhD (MD candidate)

One of my favorite sayings in life is " As above , so below" . This can certainly apply to the skin disorders. As we learn more about skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne we are seeing that that deeper in the body at the gut/immune interface there is likely a driver of inflammation. I speak about this on my most recent episode of my podcast with Lucy Mailing PhD. Lucy Mailing is an MD/PhD student at the University of Illinois. She recently completed her PhD in Nutritional S...
