About this listen

This episode does a deep dive into an article that explores the complex relationship between the oral microbiome, the gut microbiome, and brain health. The authors investigate how the diverse bacterial communities in the mouth and gut influence overall health and biological aging, particularly in relation to neurological and mental health disorders. They highlight that oral diseases, such as periodontitis, are linked to gastrointestinal issues and can contribute to conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The paper also examines the significant role of dietary interventions and oral hygiene practices in maintaining a healthy oral-gut-brain axis, suggesting that these could be crucial for disease prevention and promoting healthy aging.
