by Cass Nelson-Dooley

Improve Your Health by Fixing Your Mouth-Gut Microbiome Connection

It’s a popular theory that good health starts in your gut. But think about your mouth is the gateway to your gut. The good and bad bacteria in your mouth are directly linked to the bacteria in your digestive system. The oral microbiome can also affect illnesses and diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, certain cancers, and more. That’s why maintaining a balanced oral microbiome is one of the most important things you can do to set a solid foundation for your overall health.

Heal Your Oral Microbiome is the first book out there to focus exclusively on the oral microbiome. In these pages, you’ll learn how your mouth paves the way for full-body health, as well as how to identify common habits and practices that could be negatively impacting your unique microbiome. You’ll also discover important steps you can take to heal and balance your mouth’s microbes to boost your immune system, fight a variety of illnesses and create a solid foundation for your overall well-being.

Great book on the importance of oral health and how it affects the rest of the body. I have a lot of gut issues, which are closely connected to the oral microbiome, so I found this book extremely relevant. I enjoyed learning more on how I can improve both. This short read is informative and simplified enough that most people would understand it and be able to utilize the information taught. I especially enjoyed the chapter that provided solutions on how the reader can attempt to improve their oral microbiome if they have experienced any issues. I also found it fascinating how connected it was to other common diseases and felt the solutions should be integrated by every one, for better health. The author provides an abundance of sources in the end notes as well.

I found this book full of imagination in how the oral microbiome was presented. I tend to feel overwhelmed by scientific books, but this one was extremely approachable and relatable. It made everything easy to understand without sacrificing on providing details or explanations. The whole book was page after page of *gasp* information. How did I not know this? Why has this never been explained when I go to the dentist? As I’ve shared information from this book with friends, the reaction has been the same. Highly recommend for anyone curious about the health and interworkings of the mouth!

Lots of interesting information- I just knew a lot already and it was repetitive at times. Good for those looking to start increasing their knowledge in this area.
