    You will Not Believe how your Mouth Helps or Hurts your Gut Microbiome with Dr. Jonathan Levine

    Your mouth is the gateway to your gut, so what's happening in your gums may be showing up everywhere else. We talk a lot about leaky gut, but what about leaky gums? James and Dahlia sit down with Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, DMD, a maxillofacial prosthodontist and oral longevity expert, to explore how the oral microbiome seeds the gut and why chronic gum inflammation is linked to so many inflammatory conditions. Dr. Levine explains how his team brings dentistry and medicine together, why airway and breathing matter so much for sleep, and the daily habits that make up a strong "oral hygiene game." Along the way, he rates our own routine. In this episode: - (09:46) The mouth is the body's second-largest microbiome, and it "seeds the gut" - (12:44) Leaky gums: how chronic oral inflammation is connected to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and leaky gut - (17:04) Mouth mapping and point-of-care biomarkers, and why the dentist's chair can catch problems early - (20:38) "Airway-disordered sleep": mouth breathing, jaw development in kids, and how palate expansion can help you breathe better - (35:00) Building your oral hygiene game: electric brushing, water flossing, tongue scraping, and an alcohol-free, pH-raising mouthwash, plus how diet affects mouth pH About the guest: Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, DMD, is a maxillofacial prosthodontist and oral longevity expert with over 35 years of experience connecting oral and overall health. He's the founder of Smile House and JBL New York City, holds 29 patents (including the GLO Science teeth-whitening system), and has shared his expertise on The Today Show, CNN, and in The New York Times. Through his GLO Good Foundation, he brings oral care and education to underserved communities worldwide.

    Parents Taking Action in their Neighborhood against Pesticide Giants!

    What's being sprayed on the parks, greenbelts, and hillsides where your kids and pets play? When rare cancer cases in Ladera Ranch put this Orange County community in the national news, neighbors started asking hard questions about the pesticides used across their HOA-maintained landscapes. James sits down with John Gresko, founder of Protect Ladera, and Kim Konte, founder of Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, to talk about how parents are organizing, why even strong organic policies can quietly get undermined, and what it takes to move whole communities toward safer, soil-first land care. Along the way, James connects the dots to gut health: the soil around us helps shape the microbiome inside us. In this episode: - (00:41) How John and Kim got involved, from Irvine's 2016 organic parks policy to Ladera Ranch's wake-up call this summer - (13:42) James's story of seeing glyphosate hosed onto Ladera hillsides, and how a neighborhood Facebook group sparked the first push for change - (22:19) Pesticide "rewards" programs, and why policies need independent oversight to stick - (32:29) Healthy soil, healthy gut: why we're a mirror of our ecology - (41:50) Independent environmental testing, the push for county, state, and federal action, and how you can get involved About the guests: John Gresko is the founder, president, and CEO of Protect Ladera, a resident-led nonprofit advocating for a healthier Ladera Ranch. He's an architect specializing in sustainable, healthy building design, spent five years on the Ladera Ranch Civic Council, and is a dad of five.
