Want to improve your thyroid, gut health, and whole-body wellness? Just listen to my recent appearance on the Let’s Talk Thyroid podcast with host Annabel Bateman! This informative podcast episode provides practical tips to support your thyroid and overall health through improved oral care.
You’ll learn how poor oral health can negatively impact sleep, breathing, digestion, inflammation, and thyroid function. Conversely, optimising your oral microbiome and dental hygiene provides whole-body benefits. A key takeaway is recognising your mouth as part of your digestive system. The “gut-mouth connection” means addressing oral health is essential for gut health.
Nutritionally, quality fats and animal products provide essential fat-soluble vitamins. Magnesium-rich foods or supplements can alleviate headaches and neck tension. Staying hydrated with clean, non-fluoridated water is vital.
Listeners are encouraged to ask their dentist to assess for airway issues, provide a night guard if clenching, and check for infections.
Using hydroxyapatite toothpaste and oil pulling with coconut oil can remineralise teeth and balance oral bacteria.
Of critical importance is learning about mercury amalgam filling risks. You’ll hear the proper safe removal protocols to avoid mercury exposure. Seek out a biological dentist if pursuing amalgam removal.
This episode will open your eyes to how closely tied thyroid and dental health are. You’ll gain practical tips to improve oral care and enhance whole-body wellness. Most importantly, you’ll be inspired to take responsibility for your oral health.
