We brush our teeth every day. It's one of those things we do without thinking. But your mouth is doing so much more than just housing your teeth. It has a strong link with protecting your heart, avoiding type 2 diabetes and even potentially preventing dementia. In fact having a regular hygienist appointment can improve your blood sugar levels and significantly reduce inflammation in the body.Flossing, brushing properly and even tongue scraping is far more than keeping your teeth looking spick and span, it's critical to keeping inflammation in balance which could extend to longevity benefits. But what about fluoride in toothpaste, mouth washes, antibacterial gums and prebiotic flossing?Today, I'm joined by Dr Victoria Sampson - a functional dentist and researcher who's changing how we think about oral health. She's helping us understand that the mouth isn't separate from the rest of the body, it's also where chronic disease shows up.Today we'll discuss:

Wie bringt man eine nachhaltige Marke in den stationären Handel und was braucht es für eine echte Kooperation mit dm? Welche Rolle spielt Pricing, wenn ein Produkt ökologisch überzeugen und gleichzeitig wirtschaftlich tragfähig sein soll? Und was kann unterwegs alles schieflaufen – von der Verpackung bis zur Preisschwelle? In dieser Folge spricht Dr. Sebastian Voigt mit Sebastian Wölke, Co-Gründer der Marke NoPlanetB und ehemaliger Einkäufer bei dm. Die beiden diskutieren über Preiselastizitäten in der Drogerie, das Zusammenspiel von Sortiment, Markenführung und Preispolitik und darüber, warum NoPlanetB heute bewusst auf eine Dauertiefpreisstrategie statt auf eine klassische Aktionspreisstrategie setzt. Sebastian erzählt, warum der erste Markteintritt nicht wie geplant verlief, welche Learnings daraus entstanden sind und weshalb NoPlanetB heute auf ein seltenes Kooperationsmodell mit dm setzt: Während der Handelspartner Produktion, Logistik und Compliance übernimmt, liegt die Markenführung beim Gründerduo. Ein Modell mit klarer Rollenverteilung und einer starken gemeinsamen Vision. Kurz gesagt: eine Folge über nachhaltige Markenführung, faire Preise im Regal und über den Mut und das Durchhaltevermögen, das es braucht, um eine Marke wirklich in den Handel zu bringen. Über den Gast  Sebastian Wölke ist Co-Gründer und CEO von NoPlanetB, einer Upcycling-Beauty-Marke, die heute in 13 Ländern bei dm gelistet ist. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau hat er ein ressourcenschonendes Produktportfolio entwickelt – vom festen Shampoo bis zur Duschpflege mit Zitronenschalenextrakt. Die Besonderheit: NoPlanetB verwendet gezielt Nebenprodukte aus der Lebensmittelherstellung, etwa Fruchtschalen oder Kaffeesatz, und macht sie für Pflegeprodukte nutzbar. Vor der Gründung war er unter anderem bei Unilever, der Dr. Wolff Group und dm tätig, zuletzt als Head of Category Buying & Management für Oral Care und Male Grooming. Er bringt über 20 Jahre Erfahrung im Konsumgüter- und Drogeriemarkt mit – auf Industrie- wie Handelsseite – und berät heute Start-ups beim Markteintritt, bei Preisstrategien und beim Aufbau tragfähiger Vertriebspartnerschaften.

In conversation with Dr Ben Atkins, dentist and spokesperson from the Oral Health Foundation, about all things relating to oral health.

This podcast was created using NotebookLM. Good oral health in children is crucial and impacts overall well-being throughout life. This podcast emphasizes that dental health starts before birth and is affected by early childhood care and the transmission of bacteria. Untreated tooth decay, a common childhood disease, can lead to significant physical, emotional, and social problems, even impacting academic performance. Alarmingly, significant disparities in children's oral health exist across socioeconomic groups. Public health initiatives and preventive measures are vital in reducing tooth decay and addressing these inequities. Ultimately, the source advocates for a lifelong commitment to oral health as an integral part of general health.

Dr. Bobbi Peterson, an orthodontist and founder of Big Mouth Toothbrush, shares her journey from opening her own dental practice to becoming the first black female orthodontist to invent an electric toothbrush.

Dr. Bobbi talks about her experiences with product development, marketing strategies, her appearance on Shark Tank, and the challenges and successes of running a dual career as a practicing orthodontist and entrepreneur.

It's been awhile since we've gotten back to our roots on this podcast by reviewing some red light therapy research. By happenstance, both studies are concerning the oral cavity. The first article looks at photobiomodulation's effect on dentin hypersensitivity (one big reason why I wish I had RLT back when I was a kid!). The second study looks at various wavelengths, amongst red and NIR light, to see their impact on penetrating the tooth and, ultimately, having an effect on the dental pulp. Before we talk about the research in today's episode, I do review the newest, updated version of the BioBlue Capsules. While there are no changes relative to the recipe of those supplements, there has been an improvement with how the supplement is produced that drastically alters the color of the capsules and likely improves its delivery to the body.Lastly, I wanted to cover an amazing testimonial that we received about our BioBlue Leuco products and how it completely abolished a customer's IBS symptoms. The interesting part is that they were initially using the supplement in an effort to mitigate and reverse eyesight issues. In the end, they were pleasantly surprised and pleased with the life-changing results they received ​when their chronic IBS disappeared. While there isn't much research on MB or leucoMB on gut health, it does makes sense that this person saw positive results, as we do have plenty of mitochondrion living in our gut. Mitochondria did evolve from bacteria after all! ​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

We have a great show planned for our listeners today, we will share a Revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral care health. We shared about fluoride in the water supply, ways to support oral care, and ended with respiratory tips for the cold months ahead.Our guest today is our good friend, Nathan Jones.  It has been over 2 decades now (2000) since he founded Xlear, Inc., the xylitol-product based company whose revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral health has improved the quality of life for people around the globe.Most allergens enter the body through the nose, although the mouth and eyes are also common entry points. Keeping these gateways to the body clean is of utmost importance during allergy season if you want to reduce symptoms and not rely on antihistamines. There are other products out there, such as Xlear Nasal Spray with xylitol, which can help keep the nasal passage clean and clear of seasonal allergies, all without the negative side effects that antihistamines can cause. The addition of xylitol allows Xlear to be hypertonic, without causing the uncomfortable burning sensation that accompanies traditional saline nasal sprays. This hypertonicity means that more moisture is being pulled into the nose to help wash out contaminants and ensure the nose and sinuses are hydratedIf you're on the lookout for an antihistamine-free remedy to your allergies this season, give Xlear a try.Xlear Nasal Products are available at Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Rite Aid, Target, Kroger, Publix, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide. They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.Spry Dental Products are available at Wegmans, Vitamin Shoppe, Sprouts Farmers Markets, Natural Grocers, and most all Natural market retailers.  They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.Learn more about Xylitol 101Check out Xlear's NEW online store

The Center for Disease Control has determined that tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood disease in America with children ages 2-5 being the most prevalent.  Today I'm introducing the subject of preventing as many incidents of tooth decay as possible. This topic arises for two reasons: First, for years I have seen and heard about so many traumatic events caused by dental cavities and the difficulty of treating autism spectrum patients; and second because I know that oral health is an important component of overall general health. In over 18 years of working with autism, hundreds of parents have told me about their children's dental issues, and many resulted in multiple extractions at a very young age. I've partnered with a highly skilled pediatric dentist, Dr. Steve Branam, for this podcast to help expand outreach regarding the importance of increasing education about oral health. Dr. Branam is a champion of reducing tooth decay in families through the use of Xylitol toothpaste. He has been in practice for 50 years, conducted over 500,000 patient treatment sessions, and interviewed the parents of thousands of new patients.  He also performs surgery on many special needs children and is intimately familiar with the problems of controlling and treating tooth decay in children on the autism spectrum and their families. His backlog of surgical patients is growing, and the growing demand for intensive treatment of autism spectrum children is a national phenomenon...

“There is an old saying that if you ignore your teeth, they'll go away. I think that's a true, true statement. People may think they can get away without daily hygiene. I think that's kind of important, that you should at least get your teeth taken care of at least once or twice a day by brushing and flossing. I mean this has been proven. Our dental people have really taken the lead on preventive care with oral hygiene in that respect,” Raymond Scarpa, DNP, APN-C, AOCN® clinical program manager of head and neck oncology and supervisory advanced practice nurse in the department of otolaryngology at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey at University Hospital in Newark,told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the importance of oral health for patients with cancer.

Highlights From This Episode “Radiation, with or without a combination of chemotherapy, can lead to xerostomia, which is like a dry mouth. When this occurs, there's reduced or even absent salivary flow. When this happens, it can lead to mucositis, which is a very painful swelling of the mucous membranes in the oral cavity. This increases the risk of infection and compromises speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Certain chemotherapeutic agents can also accelerate and increase the severity of these side effects.” TS 3:54 “I think pretreatment of the oral cavity prior to starting any of these treatments is a key to managing some of the side effects that can occur. This includes a referral to the dentist for any kind of extractions and removal of any nonviable dentation, along with providing some what they call fluoride treatments. The nurses can also influence the patient by helping them with their nutrition. It's important for them to continue to try to swallow despite some of the side effects that can cause the discomfort in swallowing.” TS 6:53 “I always encourage [patients] to try to use soft-bristle toothbrushes, [water flossers] if necessary, soft foods, nonspicy foods, foods with moderate temperatures. … Try to make sure that they have enough lubrication to get the nutrition they need by including some gravies or sauces or water to help them swallow when their saliva is altered due to these side effects from the treatments.” TS 10:18 “I've been working in the head and neck cancer field for quite some time, and over the years, I've come to realize that this is probably one of the most devastating types of malignancies that someone has. … Head and neck cancer and oral cancers—they affect your basic survival needs. They affect your ability to communicate. They affect your ability to take in nutrition. They can affect your ability to breathe and certainly affect when someone looks at you. It's right there. It's staring them in the face. You can see the side effects of their treatments.” TS 22:41

We're re-running our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! In Part 2 of our conversation with Joelle Flynn and Sonia Hounsell, the Co-Founders and best friends share valuable advice for women launching product-based businesses. Sonia and Joelle did not plan on breaking into the oral care industry, but now they're seasoned experts. After Joelle came up with the brilliant idea for a reusable 2-in-1 toothbrush and toothpaste combination, she partnered with her friend Sonia Hounsell. With experience in product development and marketing, Sonia was prepared for the long haul of bringing a product to market and growing a brand.  Joelle Flynn and Sonia Hounsell officially launched FunkkOFF!® in 2021, eleven years after the idea's original inception. Designed with women in mind, FunkkOFF!® TeethRefreshers® are the only 2-in-1 toothbrush-toothpaste beauty essential that is reusable 30x to keep your smile fresh & white. TeethRefreshers® come in multiple colors and easily fit into a purse, backpack or jacket pocket for an on-the-go refresh. Their products contain no fluoride, BPA's, sulfates, or dyes. After Sonia and Joelle recently appeared in an episode of Shark Tank, they received a major financial investment and were able to grow their inventory and marketing exponentially. FunkkOFF!® has been featured in Travel + Leisure, the LA Times, NBC, Real Simple and ABC. The art of business partnerships People often ask Joelle Flynn and Sonia Hounsell what it's like being in business with your friend. Their answer is encouraging: It's great, as long as you stick to your strengths.  In the early days of their business, Sonia and Joelle had to do everything together. All decisions were made with each of them weighing in, and they collaborated on every project. It was a whirlwind time, and each of them were raising young children as they made it happen.  Once the business got off the ground and began to gain momentum - and after they appeared on an episode of Shark Tank - Sonia and Joelle began to clarify their independent roles more explicitly. With an increased workload and ever-growing online brand, it was time to divide tasks according to their respective strengths.  Ever-supportive of one another, Sonia and Joelle decide who does what by looking at one another's natural capabilities. The Co-Founders give us a valuable lesson in supporting one another and respecting the innate abilities of different members of a team. Especially at the executive level, it's essential to stick to what you're good at. Women supporting women The episode of Shark Tank did a great job highlighting their business. However, it left out something really important: How supportive the sharks are for women entrepreneurs on the show. Just a few decades ago, women in business did not have access to the same opportunities as men had. Now, investors and serial entrepreneurs are stepping in to bridge the gap and help give women a leg up. Sonia and Joelle raved about how kind the sharks were as they pitched and explained their business. Sonia says - what didn't air on tv was their genuine support.  After the sharks initially said no to Sonia and Joelle's offering, they were stopped on their way out the door - and offered a financial boost in the form of $250,000 from Robert Herjavec. As he put it, his wife Kym would love their product.  Take advantage of resources Whether you're launching a product or service-based business, Sonia and Joelle have a piece of insight for you that you won't want to miss: Take advantage of every free resource you can.  During the process of designing and launching FunkkOFF!®, they took their time to seek out free or inexpensive services to support their goals, starting with their product design. Upon contacting professional product designers to help them create a prototype for the TeethRefreshers®, Sonia and Joelle discovered that product design consultations are usually free. The consult came with numerous pieces of advice that ultimately helped them succeed.  Not only did they receive a free consultation with product designers - the Co-Founders were overwhelmed with how many resources were available to help women launch a business. They discovered grants, investors and professional consults with skilled entrepreneurs available to women looking to become Founders and build their brands.  Ask yourself - what resources are available to help support you? Who could you approach for encouragement and support as you bring your ideas to life? Enjoy this useful and encouraging episode of The Business of You, featuring Joelle Flynn and Sonia Hounsell. Soundbytes Sonia 20:13 - 20:52 “20 or 30 years ago, a female entrepreneur was at a disadvantage. Today we're really lucky. Joelle and I both have daughters - I really am hopeful that in 10 to 20 years, when our daughters are potentially entrepreneurs - that it's gonna be exponentially better. That's part of the reason we do this - for our kids, to be role models and break barriers that have been breaking since we were young but still have a ways to go.” Sonia 16:05 - 16:18 “Innovation is almost like the step in the door, but if you want to stay in the room, you have to have all the other stuff wrapped around it or it won't have the opportunity you want it to.” Quotes Joelle “What wasn't aired [on Shark Tank] was how totally supportive they were of women entrepreneurs. They were so kind. I wish that was shown more!” Joelle “As with any founders of an organization, there is an evolution that happens. In the beginning, it was easy for both of us to do everything. We were together on everything. Then as we have grown, you just don't have time. We have to divide and conquer. Division of labor is a really powerful tool.” Joelle “We have to be a unified force.  We talk a lot about priorities and we meet weekly to make sure we're on the same page.” Joelle “The numbers change and the vision grows, but the plan stays the same and we work equally as hard.” Sonia “Whatever time or money you think it's gonna take to get a product to market, multiply that by two…or ten. Things don't go the way you planned.” Sonia “The innovation of a product is the most important thing - to create the highest potential. But if you don't have the packaging and branding and communication plan, it's not going to matter. You have to connect with the consumer and make sure they understand the product.” Sonia “We've made our own lane, at an intersection between beauty and oral care that did not exist before.” Sonia “Someone can create a similar device, but no one is going to take away our brand or what we stand for. We're 100% women-owned and that is very powerful. We're all about being as natural and sustainable as we can. We give back. All of that wrapped up together helps create some protection for us.” Sonia “You really do want to ask people what they think. More than friends and family, because they will tell you more of what you want to hear. Pressure test the idea. Talk to people who will tell you what they think. Do an extensive search on what's out there and what features and benefits they provide. You want to differentiate.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for Funkkoff at https://funkkoff.com/  Follow Funkkoff Leadership on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/funkkoff  Follow Funkkoff on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/funkkoff/  Find Funkkoff on Twitter at https://twitter.com/FunkkOFF_

We're re-running our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! In this episode, we're sharing a Shark Tank success story! These two Founders combined their strengths to turn the seeds of a great idea into a best-selling product. Childhood best friends turned powerhouse entrepreneurs Joelle Flynn and Sonia Hounsell are changing the oral care landscape with their revolutionary on-the-go oral care brand, FunkkOFF!®. Designed with women in mind, FunkkOFF!® TeethRefreshers® are the only 2-in-1 toothbrush-toothpaste beauty essential that's reusable 30x to keep your smile fresh & white. TeethRefreshers® come in multiple colors and easily fit into a purse, backpack or jacket pocket for an on-the-go refresh. Containing no fluoride, BPA's, sulfates, or dyes, you can use the easy gel formula without concern over harsh chemicals.  Sonia and Joelle recently appeared in an episode of Shark Tank, and sharks bit - recognizing the incredible value of their product offering. FunkkOFF!® has been featured in Travel + Leisure, the LA Times, NBC, Real Simple and ABC. At FunkkOFF!®, Sonia and Joelle believe in giving back. They are proud supporters of the Smiles for Everyone Foundation, providing free dental care to those in need, both at home in the U.S. and around the world. They also helped establish an Orange County chapter of Girls on the Run, encouraging girls to pursue their dreams.  Currently, Sonia and Joelle are rapidly scaling up operations at FunkkOFF!® with their flagship product and working behind the scenes on new product offerings to release in the future. An idea starts with a problem solved Joelle Flynn loves red wine. But she does not love what red wine does to her white teeth! During a day of busy wine tasting, she packed a toothbrush and toothpaste in her purse to go from tasting to tasting. After a quick brush, she was applying her lipstick when she had the ultimate aha moment - realizing that there is no product for brushing your teeth on the go that is environmentally sustainable and reusable, all-natural and easy to use.  Working around the bulky and wasteful limitations of the current products on the market, Joelle stuck a toothbrush head on a chapstick tube and started taking it to product designers. With her first prototype created, Joelle partnered with her friend Sonia and they began methodically filing and receiving patents.  Now, Joelle and Sonia are glad they did everything by the book. Filing patents took years and tons of time and energy, but set them up to compete with other dental and personal care brands in the world market.  Combining strengths, combining forces Joelle conceived the idea for FunkkOFF!® TeethRefreshers®, and she knew who to call - her childhood friend Sonia Hounsell.  WIth 30+ years in business, Sonia knew how to launch and market a product successfully. With Joelle's ideas and Sonia's eye for business, they believed they could become successful entrepreneurs. Despite their excitement, they played the long game, never losing sight of their overall goals.  As business partners, Sonia and Joelle work to complement each others' strengths and combine their visions to grow their company. They are a shining example of knowing one another's capabilities and highlighting their best talents in business. A Shark Tank success story When Sonia and Joelle were invited to apply for Shark Tank, they didn't know what to expect.  Walking in with radiant smiles and glasses of red wine, they proudly proclaimed: “We all have funk…and we all need it off.” But the sharks did not bite right away!  Sonia and Joelle's biggest obstacle had been money - to finance enough inventory to gain notoriety and market their product in the right places. But they never let the struggle get them down. The entrepreneurs and friends endured an hour-long questioning session on Shark Tank about everything from their gross income to their investment to their product design. It was brutal and lengthy, but ultimately a shark bit at the last second. Investor Robert Herjavec decided to invest $250,000 to help them increase their inventory and successfully market their business. Now, they have sold out multiple times and are working to scale their company. Enjoy this Shark Tank success story on The Business of You! Soundbytes Joelle  15:21  - 15:37 “We're very proud. We've done everything methodically and thoughtfully. We know it's not rocket science, but it's our flagship product - the big guys did not figure out how to make something all-in-one and reusable like we did!” Quotes Sonia “At the end of the day, it is a lifestyle business to help people look and feel good no matter where they are.” Joelle “I was loving my red wine - and my red wine loved my white teeth! It would turn them a funky shade of purple. I started to carry around a toothbrush and toothpaste in my little purse from winery to winery, brushing the purple funk off my teeth and heading to the next tasting. I was in the bathroom putting my lipstick on and I was like, why is there nothing quick, compact, and reusable to make it easy to use on the go?” Joelle “I actually stuck a round spinning toothbrush head on a chapstick container and took it to product designers. Over about 8 years I filed 8 patents - to make it reusable and all-in-one.” Sonia “I loved the name FunkkOff because it's very memorable and ownable. There's a lot we can do with it as far as building out the current product in addition to launching future products. We are currently working on more products to release down the road! People love to say it, and when they say it, they smile.” Joelle  “We actually walked in [to Shark Tank] with two glasses of red wine! You walk in and you want to be confident. There are a gazillion cameras, and they are really far away. Halfway through we just started answering questions. It was nerve-wracking and exhilarating. But it worked.” Joelle “The sharks were really nice. They were intimidating but they're real people - who wanted to learn about and understand our business.” Sonia “With the airing of the Shark Tank episode, our business has taken on a new level of growth. We're working through that. It's opened up opportunities in the United States, Internationally and in different markets and distribution channels. We need to focus on scaling up that business first, then we'll start adding new products to grow further.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for Funkkoff at https://funkkoff.com/  Follow Funkkoff Leadership on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/funkkoff  Follow Funkkoff on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/funkkoff/  Find Funkkoff on Twitter at https://twitter.com/FunkkOFF_

The Clown in Alls Well That Ends Well talks about picking his teeth, and Coriolanus gives an admonishment about hygiene when he says “Bid them wash their faces And keep their teeth clean.” John Holland in Henry VI Part 2 talks about having teeth pulled, and in the Winter's Tale the clown talks about being able to identify a nobleman by how he picks his teeth. Of the more than 50 references to teeth in Shakespeare's plays, most of them are using idiomatic expressions for strength or determination, like to set your teeth against a problem, for example, but a few of the toothy references we can find from the bard demonstrate that when it comes to oral hygiene, Renaissance society had established methods for cleaning your teeth, and even for prescribing oral surgery. Here today to talk to us about 16th century toothbrushes, mouthwash, oral surgery, and exactly why it was considered noble to pick food out of your teeth is our guest and author of “‘Carry Not a Picke-Tooth In Your Mouth': An Exploration of Oral Health in Early-Modern Writings” Dr. Laura Kennedy.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
