In this episode, our guest is Jonathan Dornell, the co-host of the Let's Get Oral podcast. We explore the oral microbiome and how to understand and nurture this vital ecosystem to optimize your brain and body health. You'll learn about key topics like: nitric oxide, neurogastronomy, and how simple habits - like chewing mindfully, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding mouthwash and teeth whitening - can protect your oral microbiome, possibly reducing risks for conditions like caries (cavities), dementia, and heart disease.We also discuss the relationship between bacteria and humans, smell and taste perception, the benefits of slowing down, and the role of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, as well as how sugar and sweet flavors influence our oral and overall health.
