Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

In this episode of Defiant Health, functional dentist Dr. Debbie Ozment shares her unique wisdom and experience in managing the oral microbiome with some surprising observations. Did you know that:

• Risk for colon cancer can begin with oral health and a specific microbial species?
• Bleeding gums are a red flag for health problems outside the mouth?
• Cognitive decline and dementia may also get their start in the oral microbiome?
• The key to oral health is to disrupt the biofilm of teeth?
• Most mouthwashes, because they indiscriminately eradicate microbes, good and bad, are known to raise blood pressure?

Dr. Ozment is an advocate of combining oral microbe assessment with gastrointestinal microbe assessment to establish important connections.

Ready to uncover the intriguing connection between Parkinson's disease and the gastrointestinal microbiome? Join us as we explore this fascinating subject with data analytics specialist turned microbiome researcher, Martha Carlin. Martha brings us up to speed on her research endeavors, one of which includes the Bio Collective, a project that collected fecal samples from 1,000 participants, and her venture, BiotiQuest, that developed unique probiotics with collaborative microbial species.
Some of you following my Defiant Health podcasts or my DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com website may already be familiar with Martha Carlin. For those of you not yet acquainted, Martha Carlin, formerly a data analytics specialist, turned all of her attentions to the microbiome when her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She quickly learned that current medical treatments for this condition do not slow the progression of the disease from increasing disability and dementia; they only reduce some of the phenomena such as tremor or impaired gait. She therefore founded several organizations to better study both Parkinson’s disease and the gastrointestinal microbiome.

As we venture deeper, we connect with Martha and Dr Raul Cano, founders of Biotiquest, to understand their innovative probiotic products designed to support various health aspects. Martha shares the results of their recent study, showing a significant shift in the microbiome and drop in serum lipopolysaccharide.
In the captivating latter part of our conversation, we investigate the promising potential of probiotics and fasting in Parkinson's disease treatment. Martha and Raul share their patent news and discuss their probiotics' successful use to reduce endotoxemia and target abdominal visceral fat. We also examine the story of a man's remission of Parkinson's disease after a long fast, sparking a discussion on the potential of a 30-day fast experiment. By tuning in, you'll gain a wealth of insights into the evolving field of microbiome research and the impressive impacts of probiotics on our health.
Full disclosure: BiotiQuest is a sponsor of this Defiant Health podcast. But the reason I asked Martha and BiotiQuest to be a sponsor is because their interests are aligned With my philosophy and scientific interests: we are both interested in giving people better tools for health, specifically better tools to manage the microbiome.

Ready to unlock the secret to your health buried deep within your gut? In today's illuminating episode, we reveal the unsuspected ways in which small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and lipopolysaccharide endotoxins (LPS endotoxins) can drastically alter your health. We delve into the underworld of fecal microbes and their dangerous ability to cause inflammation and endotoxemia. Connect the dots between these hidden threats and a host of health conditions, from obesity to anxiety and even dementia. You'll be astounded to know how common SIBO is, with studies showing its presence in a whopping 50% of people with fatty liver and 40% suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.
Imagine a world where conditions like restless leg syndrome, fibromyalgia, and obesity could be managed by understanding and treating SIBO? We're here to guide you through that very journey. We examine the process of detecting and treating SIBO using the revolutionary AIRE device from Food Marble. You'll learn how a rise in values by four units or more means a positive SIBO test. Lastly, we explore the power of natural remedies, like fermenting specific microbes for four weeks and the benefits of daily consumption of fermented foods. Join us, as we navigate the complex world of the small intestine, uncovering the pivotal role it plays in our overall health.

If you have been following my discussions in this Defiant Health podcast or in my blog, DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com, or my Super Gut book, you know that I have been arguing that there is an epidemic of SIBO going on in the U.S., an epidemic involving every 1 in 2 people. It is an epidemic responsible for an astounding amount of health struggles.

The more we all come to understand small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, the more you have to appreciate all the varied ways this situation can show itself. First of all, for those of you unfamiliar, what is SIBO? SIBO refers to the situation in which modern people, due to exposure to multiple courses of antibiotics and other disruptive factors, have lost hundreds of beneficial bacterial species in our colons. These beneficial species were responsible for suppressing the proliferation of unhealthy microbial species, mostly fecal microbial species such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Citrobacter. The loss of beneficial microbes allows unhealthy fecal species to proliferate, then ascend up from the colon where they originated and into the 24-feet of small intestine. The small intestine is poorly-equipped to deal with this invasion of fecal microbes. The small intestine is, by design, permeable, since that is where the bulk of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are absorbed. But trillions of fecal microbes in the small intestine, microbes that live for only a few hours, live and die and release their toxic components that can gain access to the bloodstream. One of the primary toxic components is called endotoxin. When endotoxin enters the bloodstream, that’s called “endotoxemia” and endotoxemia is now recognized to be the primary way in which gastrointestinal microbes are able to exert effects tin every organ of the body. It means that SIBO and thereby endotoxemia can be experienced as a wide variety of health problems and diseases.

So, in this episode of Defiant Health, let’s discuss whether this is a situation that applies to you or to someone close to you and what steps you can take to undo these harmful effects.

The tools and insights into the human microbiome are exploding and everyday people--non-scientists, non-microbiologists--are able to generate new experiences and learn new lessons that provide important advantages in health. We, as microbiome citizen scientists, are learning new lessons virtually every day: how to increase energy, smooth skin wrinkles, reduce arthritis pain and perhaps even slow or reverse joint arthritis, improve mood, deepen sleep, all by managing our microbiomes. For example, we have discovered that microbes fermented to high counts generate deep sleep, a phenomenon not previously described in experimental clinical trials.
Join the movement and become a microbiome citizen scientist and empower yourself in health.
