Second top tip this week on the oral microbiome

TONGUE SCRAPING👩‍⚕️🩺🤔

Best to do when you clean your teeth at night.
Use a tongue scraper (can be bought through us better living clinic) or use the back of a teaspoon.
One scrap back of tongue, down the middle
Then one on each side
Look in the mirror as you do it if you are prone to gag 👍

3 scraps daily.

This will disrupt the bacteria living on your tongue and the biofilm they produce.

If you’d love to learn many many more interesting health, microbiome, gut health and nutrition facts then sign up for the next 6 week course which starts in January.
You ll love it 🥰🥦🍅🥥🥬🥑🍋🍫

After my training day with Regenerus labs in London at the end of November I had a brilliant masterclass on the oral microbiome from Dr James Goolnik from
https://www.optimaldentalhealth.co.uk/

I learnt so much about the testing and microbes in the mouth that if not kept in check will translocate and visa versa.
But also some really simple easy tips to make sure we can all keep our mouth, jaws, gums, teeth and tongue
as healthy as possible.

Top tip number one:
Keep your toothbrush at least a metre away from your toilet!!

Spread of unwanted bacteria onto your toothbrush can occur from someone using and flushing the toilet

Organic isn’t always essential, yet pesticides aren’t something to ignore either. Different fruits and vegetables absorb and hold onto residues in very different ways, and that can influence long-term exposure. The Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen help you focus your organic choices where they make...

Good morning 🤩

Early start to a rainy day but I m so excited to be heading to London for the training day with Regenerus labs 👩‍⚕️🩺🥦🥥🍅🥬🥑🧠🧐
One of the private testing labs I use for my clients with hundreds of private tests at our finger tips if we need to delve a bit deeper into what’s going on.

The microbiomes in the body are all connected to the gut microbiome which is affected by everything we eat, stress and sleep to name a few .

One of specialities is women’s health and so today’s training on the vaginal microbiome is going to so important to supporting my female clients with recurring cystitis or thrush.
Lots we can do for all health conditions as nutritional therapists so if you are concerned about any symptoms and would like a chat visit the website and book in on the free 20 min consultation link 👍

Catch you all later 🤗

Soooooo excited I’ve just booked my train ticket to London on Saturday for The Regenerus conference on the Microbiome Masterclass: Clinical Tools for Oral and Vaginal Health

Such an in depth interesting topic that I have to know inside out as I specialise in women’s health.

As a naturopathic nutritionist we work on many body systems at once as everything is connected 👍👩‍⚕️🩺🧐makes sense right?

If the gut microbiome is out of whack the other microbiomes in the body become out of balance and can impact life massively.

Poor Oral hygiene/microbiome is known to affect the cardio system and is linked to dementia

If any of my clients are living with chronic cystitis or thrush we start with the gut health and a few other amazing supplements that practioners can prescribe to bring balance to the root cause not surpress the symptoms for a short term.

If you’re looking for expert support? We’re here and would love to chat to you
We offer private clinic testing from hundreds of incredible tests not available on the NHS

Click the link below to book in for a free 20 min consultation ⬇️👩‍⚕️🩺🍋🥑🥬🥦🥥🍅

Gift vouchers are available if you have any friends or family members who’d love to explore their own health with a private test. The gift vouchers can be used across the whole of the website.
