#1 Why Mouths Matter, its Microbiome and the Missing Link to Health | Prof Iain Chapple19 Nov 202500:44:45

The mouth is integral to health, yet often overlooked and not well understood. In this episode, I am delighted to talk to Professor Iain Chapple MBE, professor of periodontology, to explore the mouth as an organ and why it is critical when it comes to full body health. 

We discuss:

  • the condition of periodontitis and how it impacts the rest of our body.
  • the breakdown of what inflammation is the difference between acute and chronic inflammation.
  • the hierarchy of evidence and understanding its value.
  • how the oral microbiome impacts the gut microbiome.
  • the role of periodontal pathogens in Alzheimer's Disease.
  • how oxidative stress is implicated in chronic inflammatory disease and the impact of diet on your risk of developing these diseases.
  • Iain's secrets to supporting your oral and systemic health.

I hope you enjoy this conversation.
