if you could prevent future health issues by addressing inflammation starting in your mouth?
How would your life change...
Bale, Bradley Field, Amy Lynn Doneen, and David John Vigerust. "High-risk periodontal pathogens contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis." Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2017.
Periodontal disease (PD), or gum disease, is caused by harmful bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria can enter your bloodstream and lead to serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Research has shown that gum disease is directly linked to artery disease, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. This is particularly concerning because gum disease is very common, especially in adults over 30. A few specific types of bacteria, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, are known to increase the risk of heart disease. These bacteria can affect the health of your arteries in ways that contribute to a buildup of plaque, leading to atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of the arteries, which is the leading cause of death and disability. Addressing gum disease, especially when caused by these high-risk bacteria, can play a significant role in reducing your risk of heart disease.
Through a combination of functional lab testing, lifestyle coaching, and targeted health strategies, we’ll develop an approach to restore both your oral and overall health. Whichever option you choose, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to improve your health span, ensuring it matches your lifespan.
Studies show that periodontal disease caused by high-risk bacteria is not only detrimental to your oral health but can significantly contribute to systemic health problems.
Staying active and managing stress are key components of a healthy lifestyle. I’ll help you find ways to incorporate more movement into your routine and teach you techniques to lower stress, improving your mental and physical well-being.
Movement and Stress Reduction
Your diet plays a crucial role in your health. We’ll work together to identify the foods that nourish your body, reduce inflammation, and support both your oral and overall health, creating a sustainable eating plan that works for you.
Food and Nutrition
Proper breathing and quality sleep are vital for overall wellness. We’ll explore how improving your airway and breathing patterns can enhance your sleep, helping your body repair, rejuvenate, and function at its best.
Airway, Breathing, and Sleep
We’ll focus on reducing inflammation and managing infections, starting with the mouth and addressing how they impact your entire body. By targeting the key causes, we’ll work to prevent long-term health issues and promote healing from the inside out.
Inflammation and Infection
Here are the Four Pillars of Focus for Oral to Optimal Wellness Coaching:
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and unsure how to incorporate sustainable changes into your daily routine to improve both oral and whole-body health.
Difficulty managing oral health issues alongside chronic conditions, leading to decreased quality of life and concern about long-term wellness.
Struggling with chronic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, or stroke, and unsure how to manage the connection between your oral health and overall wellness.
Worry about persistent inflammation and infection in the mouth that could be contributing to systemic health problems, but no clear path forward for relief.
Fear of future health complications if existing conditions like cardiovascular disease aren’t addressed integratively, starting with oral care.
