What kind of impact does our oral health have on our overall health? A lot, as it turns out!

Today's guest is Trina Felber, Founder and President of Primal Life Organics, and she's 'mouthing off' on what we need to do to improve our oral health. She’s an expert on oral health, so it’s all good that she does.

We talk about how dental health is connected to testosterone levels, hormones, and conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

We explore the importance of the oral microbiome and how natural dental products can support oral and gut health by keeping the mouth alkaline and remineralizing our teeth.

Tina also discusses the potential health risks of fluoride and the benefits of light therapy for teeth whitening and gum health.

Discover why we need an alkaline mouth, why mouthwash is a bad idea, and protecting our nitric oxide production is a very, very GOOD idea for men in this episode that's gonna make you reevaluate your teeth brushing routine - for the better.

Come and join us and let's learn what we can about our oral microbiome so we can flash a truly healthy smile!

"If what's in your mouth isn't healthy then what you're swallowing isn't healthy either. And that's seeding your gut bacteria. Most people can't heal their gut fully until they heal their mouth." ~ Trina Ferber
