This is Why Your Oral Health is Deeply Connected to Your Overall Health (Minisode #53)

This is Why Your Oral Health is Deeply Connected to Your Overall Health | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimzers and InsideTracker. If we want to continue learning how to optimize health, we have to stay open to new information that might contradict previous research, even if it questions the status quo. Fluoride and dental health are great examples of this process. Fluoride gained support due to an observation one man-made many years ago, which has progressed into many cities fluoridating their water and most dentists singing its praises. But over the years the research on fluoride has greatly evolved, to the point that we can now see large differences in how it works topically versus internally, and identify risks that come with consumption.  In today's mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Mark Burhenne and Dr. Steven Lin about the emerging research that supports connections between fluoride and IQ changes, neurotoxicity, arthritis, osteosarcomas, and changes in metabolism, among other concerns. They also talk about the root cause of cavities—it’s not a deficiency in fluoride, but the sugary and starchy foods making up the Standard American Diet, an altered oral microbiome, and mouth breathing. Dr. Mark Burhenne is a functional dentist and the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox. He has appeared in Dr. Hyman’s Sleep Masterclass, the oral microbiome docuseries Gateway to Health, NPR, and more.  Dr. Steven Lin is a  world-leading authority in the field of functional dentistry and the author of, The Dental Diet: The Surprising Link between Your Teeth, Real Food, and Life-Changing Natural Health.
