#029 - The Oral–Gut Axis: How Your Mouth Controls Your Entire Body

Inflammation is your body’s defense system — but when it becomes chronic, it can silently reshape your health. In this groundbreaking episode of Mind Your Mouth, Dr. Maria Floro reveals how your oral microbiome and gut microbiome are constantly communicating through what scientists now call the Oral–Gut Axis.

You’ll discover:

• Why your mouth hosts over 2,000 microbial species
• How oral bacteria migrate into the gut — and even the bloodstream
• The surprising links between oral dysbiosis, inflammation, IBD, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer
• How diet is the “maestro” directing your oral and gut microbiomes
• The roles of prebiotics, probiotics, phytochemicals, and fiber
• Real clinical cases demonstrating life-changing results
• Why dentistry and medicine must work together toward truly personalized care

If you’re a dental professional, a healthcare provider, or simply someone who wants to understand your body at a deeper level, this episode will change the way you think about oral health forever.
