By now, you’ve heard of the gut biome and how critical those little bacteria are in supporting your overall wellbeing. Well, today, Dr. Mark Burhenne joins me to dive into even further detail with one specific, important, and very famous, part of our digestive system – our mouth!

It’s about so much more than bad breath and coffee stains, although we cover the importance of the small stuff too. The truth is that oral health is directly involved in six-to-seven out of ten major chronic diseases. How well, or poorly, we take care of our mouths, is reflected in our longevity and ability to combat illness.

In this illuminating episode, we learn how modern dentistry incorporates this information (or not), what toothpaste and mouthwash are really doing in our mouth vs. what we think they’re doing, and of course – how our oral health can impact pregnancy and general fertility. Settle in for the most enjoyable trip to the dentist you’ve ever had!

We Chat About:

  • Dr. Mark Burhenne’s background and inspirations
  • The mouth’s connection to disease and illness
  • Microbiome: a party in your mouth
  • Negative effects of toothpaste and mouthwash
  • Oral health as it relates to pregnancy

Julie Duffy Dillon is a registered dietician, eating disorder specialist, and food behavior expert partnering with people on their food peace journey. She helps people with PCOS promote health without diets through her online courses and her podcast, Love Food.

In the space of healing our hormones, and trying to get to the root of our hormone imbalance symptoms, I found that we can start to develop a fear around our body, a fear around food, and we end up creating black and white rules around what we can and can’t eat. By the end of my interview with Julie, I had an epiphany: I had been trying so hard to control my body that I was causing myself unnecessary stress, and that stress itself can be horribly disruptive to our hormones!

In this episode, you’ll learn how to take all of the information that’s out there, learn to apply it to your body and your life, and from there decide what foods make you feel best and what foods don’t. You’re going to learn so much from Julie!

We Chat About:

  • The comparison between dieting and eating disorders
  • Easing the symptoms of PCOS without dieting
  • Demystifying inflammation
  • Promoting experimentation without getting into a diet mindset
  • Gluten and hormone health
  • Learning how to intuitively listen to your body
  • How exercise and movement relates to PCOS

Taylor Merritt is a personal trainer, an educator, and the founder of Sweaty as a Mother. She joins us to talk about movement and fitness within pregnancy. There’s a lot of information out there, both good and bad, and it’s hard to separate the two, so sometimes you just need to hear from someone who knows what they’re talking about. Before her first pregnancy, she thought her knowledge as a trainer would be fine to practice during pregnancy, but she ended up causing health issues and making things worse. She ended up getting certified in prenatal training, which was an incredibly eye-opening experience, and her second pregnancy went completely differently. She talks about what she learned during training, as well as personal experience, and what she teaches women now about staying healthy during pregnancy.

We Chat About:

  • The ways you have to train your body differently during pregnancy
  • Diastasis recti, the separation of the six-pack muscles, and exercise do’s and don’ts
  • Opening up the baby instead of restricting the baby
  • Working out for the right reasons during pregnancy
  • Running and cardio during pregnancy
  • Addressing myths about working out while pregnant

Jessica Kapusta is a good friend of mine and recipe creator and food stylist for natural food brands who has a passion for health, wellness, and empowering women. She recently started a new venture, John & Jane’s Sauces, where she makes sauces, dressings, and condiments that are free of the most common allergens. She took her personal experience and put all of her heart and soul into these sauces! She’s also recently released a cookbook that can teach you how to make these sauces at home, as well as some delicious dishes to accompany them.

Every time we talk, we get into long conversations about health, wellness, body image, and more—and this is no exception! We really get into the double-standard that comes with how we talk to women about the way their body is changing when they’re pregnant versus when they are not. Our bodies are changing ALL the time, and there’s no reason to think that should be exclusive to pregnancy or that’s the only time we can appreciate women’s bodies. Let’s extend that body love and acceptance to all people!

We Chat About:

  • How Jessica got into the health food space
  • Talking to all women like we talk to pregnant women
  • How healthcare is geared towards women having kids
  • Caring for women’s whole bodies, pregnant or not
  • The struggles of identity that women face
  • Why Jessica started John & Jane’s Sauces
