How much talk time do you get with your dentist?
Due to the constraints of modern healthcare, a typical dental consultation prioritizes treatment over advice. But your dentist knows more about your health than you think!
In this episode, Dr Zara Nortley, family dentist and advanced medical aesthetics practitioner, focuses where oral health meets whole-person health. Together with Dayo Akinrinade, Noom Vibe Founder and GM, they look beyond the common advice to brush your teeth twice a day, covering:
- The #1 factor that determines how long your natural teeth will last
The worst time to use mouthwash
Why you should care about your alveolar bone
Why when you eat sugar, matters more than how much
How aging and menopause impact oral health

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
