    In this episode of the HealthspanMD Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE sits down with Dr. Du Mond to explore a critically overlooked driver of cardiovascular disease, brain health decline, and chronic inflammation: the mouth. They dive into the powerful connection between oral pathogens and systemic inflammation, the role of red complex bacteria in heart disease and Alzheimer’s risk, how saliva testing can uncover hidden inflammatory triggers, and why simply brushing and flossing may not be enough.
