Sleep, Sex, and Senility

What if the key to your heart health, your brain, your hormones, and your sleep was hiding in your mouth? That's the question at the heart of this podcast and the answer might surprise you. Sleep, Sex & Senility brings together two unlikely allies: Dr. Ellie Campbell, a double board-certified family physician with over 30 years of experience and a decade of zero heart attacks or strokes in patients who follow her program, and Dr. Kathleen Carson, a dentist and educator whose entire career has been devoted to the intersection of oral health, airway, and whole-body wellness. Together, they're on a mission to expose what conventional medicine has been missing: the profound connection between the health of your mouth and the health of everything else. We're talking heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's, sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, cognitive decline, and yes, even your sex life. This isn't a dentistry podcast. It's not a medical podcast. It's the conversation that happens when an DO and a DDS pull up a chair, drop the jargon, and start connecting dots that most clinicians never connect. Each episode dives into a topic that's reshaping how forward-thinking doctors and dentists think about health from sleep apnea and airway development, to the microbiome in your mouth, to the inflammation silently driving disease throughout your body. You'll walk away with practical insights, a few things that'll make you rethink your last checkup, and maybe a question or two for your doctor that they've never been asked before. If you've ever felt like something was being missed by your doctors, your dentists, or the healthcare system at large, you're probably right. And this podcast is a good place to start finding out what it is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
