Podcasts about oral health

What if eating nutritious food isn't enough because what really matters is what your body can actually digest, absorb, and utilize?In Episode 150 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Dr. Ryan Jones, a Doctor of Oriental and Complementary Medicine with decades of experience spanning traditional healing systems, nutritional medicine, supplement formulation, and manufacturing.The conversation begins with monolaurin—the monoglyceride of lauric acid at the heart of Lauricidin®—and expands into a much bigger discussion about gut health, the microbiome, food sensitivities, probiotics, fermented foods, immune health, supplement quality, and why improving health usually requires much more than simply adding another pill or supplement.Dr. Jones explains why Lauricidin comes in tiny pellets, why he recommends starting with small amounts and gradually increasing intake, and how he believes monolaurin fits into a broader approach to digestive and immune health.Michael and Ryan also dig into coconut oil and lauric acid, leaky gut, Candida, probiotics, homemade sauerkraut and kefir, food sensitivities, topical products, and what Ryan has learned from working inside the supplement and cosmetic manufacturing industries.In This EpisodeWhat monolaurin and glycerol monolaurate areLauric acid, coconut oil, and MCT oilsWhy Lauricidin is made as small pelletsWhy Dr. Jones recommends starting low and increasing slowlyDigestion, absorption, and the idea that "it's not what you eat—it's what you absorb"The gut microbiome and dysbiosisWhy there may be no single "magic bullet" for chronic health problemsFood sensitivities and Dr. Jones' experience with NAETWhat may contribute to increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"Probiotics, fermented foods, kefir, and homemade sauerkrautColloidal silver and topical antimicrobial approachesOral health, toothpaste, lotions, deodorant, and other Lauricidin productsLow-potency supplements and what Dr. Jones calls the "pixie dust effect"What decades of supplement formulation have taught him about the industryHow Dr. Jones personally incorporates Lauricidin into his lifestyleEpisode Timestamps00:00 — You Can't Drug the Body Back to Health00:48 — Meet Dr. Ryan Jones03:39 — What Is Lauricidin and Monolaurin?06:36 — Monolaurin, Lauric Acid & Breast Milk08:43 — Coconut Oil vs. Concentrated Monolaurin10:48 — Why Lauricidin Uses Pellets13:18 — Eastern Medicine Meets Modern Formulation15:22 — Caprylic, Capric & Lauric Acid Explained19:50 — It's Not What You Eat—It's What You Absorb21:48 — Monolaurin and the Gut Microbiome24:08 — What Research Would Dr. Jones Fund?27:35 — Why One Intervention May Not Be Enough31:14 — Colloidal Silver & Topical Approaches32:27 — Wounds, Scarring & Secondary Infection35:44 — Herpes, Shingles & Viral Load Discussion38:28 — Monolaurin, COVID & Immune Health40:26 — Food Sensitivities and NAET42:06 — Why There Is No Health "Magic Bullet"44:20 — Which Microorganisms Are Most Susceptible?48:23 — What Causes "Leaky Gut"?50:46 — Dr. Jones' Gut Health Approach54:19 — Probiotics, Kefir & Homemade Sauerkraut58:15 — Oral Health, Toothpaste & Lauricidin Products1:02:57 — Natural Deodorant & the Skin Microbiome1:05:00 — What the Supplement Industry Gets Wrong1:06:33 — Low Potency & the "Pixie Dust" Problem1:09:47 — How Dr. Jones Uses Lauricidin Personally1:11:23 — Final ThoughtsDr. Ryan Jones & LauricidinDr. Ryan Jones: https://www.lauricidin.com/collections/dr-ryanLauricidin®: https://www.lauricidin.com/Dr. Jones' Gut Health Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-protocol-for-gut-health-using-monolaurin-by-dr-ryan-jonesDr. Jones' Leaky Gut Support Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-leaky-gut-support-using-lauricidin-by-dr-ryan-jonesLauricidin Pro — Health Professional Resources: https://www.lauricidin.pro/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauricidin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lauricidin/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lauricidinX: https://x.com/lauricidinFull Episode ResourcesShow notes, video, resources, and additional information: https://drhaley.com/monolaurin-gut-health/About The Dr. Haley ShowThe Dr. Haley Show explores health, nutrition, natural medicine, longevity, the microbiome, lifestyle, and unconventional ideas about human health.Hosted by Dr. Michael Haley. https://drhaley.com/Haley Nutrition: https://haleynutrition.com/Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

I tape my mouth shut every night before I go to bed. And before you wonder if I've lost my mind, I want to tell you what happens when I don't. I wake up multiple times, my mouth and throat are dry, I have drool on my pillow, I wake up with a headache, and I'm up going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Same person, same bed, same sleep routine—just different breathing.   In this episode, I'm talking about why I mouth tape, what actually happens when you sleep with your mouth open, and why nasal breathing matters so much for sleep, your airway, your nervous system, and your oral health. I'll also walk you through how I recommend getting started, what to look for, and when mouth taping is not appropriate. Because mouth taping isn't about following a trend. It's about paying attention to what your body is telling you.   If this episode was helpful, take a minute to rate, follow, share, and review the podcast. And remember: take what resonates with you, leave what doesn't, and trust your instincts. Your body is talking to you all the time—we just need to learn how to listen.   Check out The Mind Mouth Body SHIFT Method -- https://shereewertz.com/academy   Book a consultation today:   I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. From polishing hearing-aid earpieces to becoming the first female clinical dental technician to qualify in the UK, Caroline Kirkpatrick has taken a pretty incredible—and definitely unconventional—path through dental technology. Caroline joins Barb and Elvis to talk about how a broken denture repair sign outside a dental laboratory sparked her interest in the industry, her early years learning crown and bridge, orthodontics, and working in a dental hospital, and how her curiosity pushed her to learn every side of the profession. Eventually, that curiosity led Caroline to become one of the first four technicians accepted into the UK's pioneering clinical dental technology program in 2010. But Caroline's story doesn't stop at the bench. She built her own laboratory, taught dental technology, treated patients clinically, raised a family, and continued pushing herself into digital dentistry. She shares how she experimented with early digital workflows, 3D printing, digital dentures, and eventually exocad—and why she believes the best digital workflow isn't necessarily the fanciest one, but the one that actually works in the real world. Caroline also talks about working with her sister and daughter in the family lab, the importance of exposing young technicians to different laboratories and workflows, and why sharing the mistakes you've made can sometimes be one of the best ways to help someone else learn. From Scotland to the world of digital dentures, this is a great conversation about curiosity, adaptability, education, and never being afraid to learn something new. You know what's expensive in a dental lab? Most people would say the mill, but the real cost is downtime. When production stops, everything backs up—cases get delayed, technicians get frustrated, and customers start asking questions. That's why reliable equipment matters. Roland DGA's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions are built for dependable production, helping labs stay on schedule and keep work moving day after day. Less downtime means fewer surprises and more time doing what your lab does best. And when your equipment is reliable, your customers notice the difference. Reliability isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of a successful lab. Visit rolanddental.com to learn more about Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions.Special Guest: Caroline Kirkpatrick.

What if the root of your chronic health issues has been hiding in your mouth all along? In this episode of Let’s Talk Wellness Now, Dr. Deb uncovers the powerful and often overlooked connection between your oral microbiome and your whole-body health. For too long, the mouth and body have been treated as separate systems. The truth is they are deeply connected, and the bacteria living in your mouth may be quietly influencing your risk for some of the most serious chronic conditions we face. Dr. Deb breaks down the science linking oral bacteria to Alzheimer’s, heart disease, stroke, and autoimmune conditions like lupus, and explains why what is happening in your mouth matters far more than most people (and even many doctors) realize. More importantly, she shares what you can actually do about it, from testing to targeted treatment to restoring balance in your oral microbiome. If you have been chasing answers for symptoms that never seem to resolve, this conversation may reveal a missing piece you have never been told to look at. In this episode, you will learn: Why your mouth and body should never be treated as separate systems How oral bacteria are linked to Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and stroke Why you cannot fix what you have not measured, and where oral DNA testing comes in Which pathogenic bacteria matter most and why Practical, real-world steps to restore your oral microbiome and protect your long-term health Key frameworks discussed:The Mouth-Body Connection, Microbiome Balance, and Targeted Microbial Therapy.

Host Matt Crespin brings you voices from Milan, where dental hygienists from 47 countries gathered for the International Symposium on Dental Hygiene. Outgoing IFDH President Jill Rethman describes what it was like to sit on a World Health Organization panel as the only dental hygienist in the room, alongside dentists and health ministers from around the world, and what she learned about how many countries have never heard of our profession. That first appearance led to an invitation for IFDH to join the WHO's new Global Coalition on Oral Health. U.S. delegates Kelli Swanson Jaecks and Tammy L. Filipiak share what happens in the two years between symposiums, from committee calls scheduled across a dozen time zones to a new IFDH fellowship program and the decision to open the federation to dental therapists and oral health therapists. They also celebrate ADHA's first ever IFDH Impact Award, First Place in the Large Association category, for the Hygienist Inspired Ambassador Program. Plus, meet newly elected IFDH Secretary Loes Velthoven-Verlinden of the Netherlands and Vice President Cole Gilbert of South Africa, who explain what scope of practice looks like in their countries.Guests: Jill Rethman, RDH, BA, FADHA; Kelli Swanson Jaecks, MA, RDH, FADHA; Tammy L.

Most of us think of oral health as brushing, flossing, and avoiding cavities—but what if your mouth is actually one of the earliest windows into your overall health? In this eye-opening episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we're joined once again by holistic dentist Dr. Katie Lee, author of Saved by the Mouth, to explore the remarkable connection between oral health, fertility, hormone balance, inflammation, and even sleep. Dr. Lee explains why bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, canker sores, dry mouth, and even the shape of your tongue may be signaling much more than a dental problem. We discuss how the oral microbiome influences the entire body, including reproductive health, and why treating the mouth may be a missing piece for women struggling with infertility, endometriosis, chronic inflammation, or unexplained health concerns. We also dive into one of the most overlooked health issues affecting women: sleep-disordered breathing and sleep apnea. Dr. Lee shares why petite women are frequently overlooked, how airway health changes during perimenopause, and why symptoms like TMJ pain, anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, fatigue, and dry mouth may all point to an underlying airway issue rather than "just getting older." In this episode, you'll learn: • Why healthy gums should never bleed • What your breath, tongue, and mouth reveal about your overall health • How oral bacteria may contribute to infertility, miscarriage, endometriosis, and chronic inflammation • The surprising connection between the oral microbiome and reproductive health • Why saliva testing can identify hidden pathogens that routine dental exams often miss • The best floss, toothbrushes, water flossers, and oral care tips for optimal health • How perimenopause affects the mouth, and why estrogen plays a key role in oral health • The relationship between sleep apnea, cortisol, blood sugar, weight gain, heart health, and hormone balance • Signs you may have an airway problem, even if you don't snore • Why root-cause medicine should include evaluating the mouth This conversation will completely change the way you think about oral health. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating perimenopause, or simply looking to optimize your health, you'll discover why caring for your mouth may be one of the most powerful investments you can make for your entire body. Because your mouth isn't separate from your health, it may be the place your body has been trying to get your attention all along. Hormone Genius wants YOU to partner with us!

Have you ever felt like something wasn't quite right with your health, your fertility journey, your pregnancy, or your baby's development—even though you were told everything was "normal"? In this episode, I explore the important questions that often go unasked in prenatal care and early childhood health. From oral health and breathing to nervous system regulation and feeding challenges, we're looking at the connections that deserve more attention.   I'll share both the research and my own personal journey through infertility and pregnancy loss, along with the questions I wish someone had asked me sooner. If you've ever felt unheard by the healthcare system or wondered if there was more to your story, this episode will encourage you to trust your instincts, ask better questions, and discover how seemingly small details can have a lasting impact on both you and your child.   If this episode helped you think differently about your health, pregnancy, or your child's development, I'd be so grateful if you would follow the podcast, leave a rating and review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. Your support helps more families find these conversations and start asking the questions that truly matter.

Recognizing this, Deepti Brambl, Founder of Kaylaan, developed an innovative alternative: toothpaste tablets. The eco-friendly product eliminates the need for plastic packaging while providing a healthier, more sustainable oral care solution.“Toothpaste tablets are not a new concept,” Deepti explained in today's episode, “but for me, it was important to come up with a solution that is not just plastic-friendly but also chemical-free. All of our products are natural, which ties back to how I was raised.”Kaylaan has also expanded into mouthwash tablets and patented bamboo electric toothbrushes, solidifying their commitment to green innovation. The toothbrushes, with recycled plastic handles to combat mold growth, are fully compostable striking the balance between sustainability and practicality.This eco-conscious ethos stems from Deepti's Nepalese heritage, where everything was reused. After moving to the U.S., she was struck by the plastic waste culture and wanted to create an alternative that redefined oral care. She started small, testing products on Etsy. Her toothpaste tablets stood out, quickly becoming a bestseller thanks to community feedback.The company's community-centered approach is evident in the evolution of their product line, including fluoride-based formulas, strawberry- and watermelon-flavored tablets for kids, and neem-based tablets. Customers' input continues to shape Kaylaan's innovations: “Whoever came to us with requests, we worked on it,” Deepti noted.In just a few years, Kaylaan has earned B Corp certification twice, reflecting its strong commitment to sustainability. Revenue from crowdfunding has been instrumental in scaling operations. Deepti highlighted how funds from a $45,000 raise helped move the company into a new facility, upgrade machines, and achieve compliance with FDA and GMP protocols.Currently, Kaylaan is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding on Honeycomb Credit. This presents an exciting opportunity for sustainability-minded investors to support Deepti's vision of redefining oral care.Deepti's journey exemplifies the power of mission-driven innovation. By tackling environmental challenges head-on, Kaylaan is demonstrating how purpose and profitability can coexist in harmony.tl;dr:Kaylaan develops eco-friendly toothpaste tablets to reduce waste and promote sustainable dental care.Deepti Brambl draws inspiration from her Nepalese heritage to drive innovation at Kaylaan.Crowdfunding on Honeycomb Credit has empowered Kaylaan to scale operations and achieve regulatory compliance.Customer feedback has shaped Kaylaan's diverse products, including fluoride-based and neem-flavored options.Deepti's resilience and passion for sustainability have propelled Kaylaan's mission to new heights.How to Develop Resilience As a SuperpowerDeepti's superpower is resilience—the ability to rise after setbacks and turn challenges into opportunities. She explained, “You fall as many times as possible, because that's where real creativity, real strength, and real learning happen.” Her perseverance fuels Kaylaan, as Deepti embraces obstacles as steppingstones for growth, strength, and creativity.Deepti vividly recounted the 10-hour ordeal of relocating a 5,000-pound tablet-press machine to a new manufacturing facility. After renting a forklift that couldn't manage the task, she worked with a team of local professionals to resolve the situation. Despite setbacks, her persistence resulted in more efficient production and significant quality improvements for Kaylaan's products.Tips to Develop Resilience:View challenges as opportunities for creativity and growth.Accept failure as part of learning and keep moving forward.Build strong community and business relationships for support during tough circumstances.Prioritize preparation upfront to avoid costly mistakes later.Embrace the idea that obstacles are a pathway to innovation and strength.By following Deepti's example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDeepti Brambl (she/her):Founder, KaylaanAbout Kaylaan: We make oral care better for people and the planet. Our toothpaste tablets eliminate plastic tube waste, reduce water consumption, and deliver clinically effective results — proof that a daily habit as simple as brushing your teeth can be part of a more sustainable world.Website: kaylaan.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/kaylaantoothpasteCompany Twitter Handle: @KaylaanTabsInstagram Handle: @kaylaantoothpasteOther URL: invest.honeycombcredit.com/campaigns/Kaylaan-2Biographical Information: Deepti Brambl, originally from the Himalayas, is the founder and lead engineer behind Kaylaan, a B Corp‑certified sustainable oral care company based in New York.

Nathan Jones, founder and CEO of Xlear, Inc., reveals xylitol's role in supporting oral and nasal “gateway” microbiomes by selectively starving acid-producing Strep mutans rather than indiscriminately killing bacteria, and warns that harsh mouthwashes can disrupt beneficial oral bacteria linked to nitric oxide production and possibly blood pressure. Jones outlines Spry and Xlear products (gum, mints, toothpaste, mouthwash, dry-mouth “Rain,” and upcoming gummy candies, a new dental probiotic with added nutrients, and a direct-to-consumer oral bacteria test kit with pre/post tracking). He discusses diet, emphasizing sugar as a key driver of cavities and criticizing limited focus on sugar in a Surgeon General oral health report. In part two, Jones describes ongoing and planned legal actions against the FTC over shifting evidentiary standards and reputational damage, then reviews Xlear's allergy and respiratory approach via nasal hygiene, product tiers (regular, Max with quercetin, Rescue botanicals, and a decongestant), and a forthcoming ectoine-based spray to support mucus barrier integrity.

When most people think about oral care, they think about toothpaste or mouthwash. But herbs have a long history of supporting the mouth, gums, and oral tissues in ways that are both practical and deeply nourishing.In this short podcast, I share three of my favorite underrated herbs for oral health and why each one works so differently.► Plantain for supporting tissue healing► Marshmallow root for soothing dry, irritated tissues► Echinacea for oral discomfort and deeper tissue supportI also talk about one of the most important shifts in herbalism: learning how to match herbs to the tissues and patterns involved instead of using the same approach for everyone.This way of thinking is exactly what Kyle Denton teaches inside the Herbal Dental Care course. Kyle combines 15 years of experience in the dental field with clinical herbalism to teach oral care through an herbalist lens.Enrollment closes soon, so if you've been curious about herbal oral care, now is the time to join us.Enroll here: https://courses.herbrally.com/a/2148266690/XqYp4jfE

When we talk about managing Multiple Sclerosis, our conversations naturally focus on things like disease-modifying therapies, mobility, MRI scans, and symptom management. But in this week's episode, we're shining a light on a critical aspect of MS wellness that doesn't get nearly enough attention: your oral health. Living with MS can introduce a whole host of unexpected challenges to maintaining a healthy mouth. And beyond preventing tooth decay and gum disease, emerging research suggests that chronic oral inflammation, like periodontal disease, can trigger systemic inflammation throughout the body. Dr. Ann Spolarich joins us to break down the science, explain the risks, and offer practical suggestions for maintaining oral health for people living with MS and their care partners. We're also sharing study results that revealed 1,000 differences between immune cells in men and women. (And we're explaining why that's important) If you're a parent or caregiver for a child or teen with MS, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the FDA approval of Ocrevus for treating pediatric MS. We're sharing the details of an AI partnership designed to shorten the time to an MS diagnosis and track progression in real time. We're sharing the details of another AI partnership designed to test a pill that will ease MS-related depression and fatigue. And we'll tell you about a way that you can participate in MS research from the comfort and convenience of your own home. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Jared starts this new series, Herbal Secrets, by diving into one of natural health's most overlooked tools: neem. Often known for its topical use, neem is far more than a simple antimicrobial—it's what Jared calls a “terrain shifter,” helping support balance in the skin and gut microbiome rather than simply eliminating microbes. You'll learn how neem may help maintain healthy microbial balance, support normal inflammatory responses, and assist the body's natural detoxification processes. Jared breaks down topical vs. internal uses, including applications for skin health, oral care, and gut support, along with practical strategies for combining neem with enzymes and probiotics. If you're dealing with persistent imbalances or looking to support whole-body resilience, this episode offers a fresh perspective on restoring balance from the inside out. Products:TheraNeem Cleansing BarTheraNeem CreamTheraNeem Leaf & Aloe GelTheraNeem OilNOW Tea Tree OilSolaray Neem Leaf CapsulesPure Essence CandexCellCore Biotoxin BinderSolaray Charcoal CapsulesFood Movement Black Earth Zeolite Humic Fulvic MineralsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAdditional Information:#616: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Foundations of Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 1#617: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Protocols for Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 2Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.
