Dr. Axe’s presentation will examine the link between an unhealthy oral dental microbiome and a host of ailments. His points will cover:

• Underlying reasons behind the epidemic rise of tooth decay
• Learn about the most dangerous foods that trigger leaky gut
• Foods, nutrients and supplements to improve digestion, immunity and oral health

“People ignore the health of their mouth, how important it is and how the bacteria found in your mouth is so important for your overall well-being,” said Dr. Axe.

“There’s a lot of myths out there today on what actually causes tooth decay. And I think a lot of people would be surprised when you look at the medical literature on how having an unhealthy dental microbiome has been linked to heart disease. It’s been linked to obesity. It’s been linked to gut health. In fact, there are a number of health issues that people are struggling with today. And they don’t realize that it’s connected to their microbiome in their gut and in their mouth.”

“We’ve all heard the principle, ‘You are what you eat.’ That’s not true. It’s you are what you digest. And if you’re not digesting properly, then we’re really not going to even absorb any of those vitamins and nutrients that we’re getting or so we think we’re getting in our diet.”

“There’s a guy named Tim Spector – who did a study with his son. They wanted to see what 10 days of fast food would do to his son’s microbiome and his gut health. And they found that it decimated it in just ten days. In fact, he had lost 40 percent of the microbial species in his gut – in just 10 days!”
