In my latest podcast episode, I’m joined by Caroline Smith - a dental hygienist, nutritional therapist, and myofunctional therapist with a passion for holistic oral health and sleep.
We explore how what’s happening in your mouth can impact your hormones, stress, and whole-body health.
Caroline shares how functional dentistry differs from conventional dental care, why your oral microbiome matters more than you think, and simple ways to nurture it through food, lifestyle and mindful dental habits.
We also dive into the surprising connection between gum health, cortisol and hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause and the menstrual cycle.
Plus Caroline gives us her top tips for building an optimal daily routine that supports your body from mouth to mind.
