Discover how oral bacteria, salivary testing, and simple dental habits impact inflammation, gut health, brain health, and whole-body vitality.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Debbie Ozment to explore the mouth as the “forgotten orifice” and how oral bacteria influence inflammation, gut health, brain health, autoimmune conditions, pregnancy, and even cancer treatment. We talk about salivary DNA testing, hidden dental infections, root canals, and why simple oral habits can create major systemic change. This conversation completely reframed how I think about vitality and whole-body health.

Curiosity led Dr. Debbie Ozment down a unique path as a dentist. A 1985 graduate of Oklahoma University College of Dentistry, her clinical practice took a dramatic turn as she observed her patients’ increasing list of medications and declining vitality. In response, Dr. Ozment completed a Master's degree in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and is a Diplomat with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Trained at Mayo Clinic, she is a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
Dr. Ozment is the host of Vitality Made Simple, a weekly podcast committed to interviewing world experts in the area of Integrative Medicine. She is committed to early diagnosis and intervention of periodontal disease to positively affect not only the mouth but the entire body.
Enjoy her 14-minute TEDX Talk entitled “The Forgotten Orifice.”
