Ep. 7 | How Your Mouth Is Affecting Your Brain — Alzheimer's, Mercury, Sleep Apnea

Could what's happening in your mouth right now be setting the stage for Alzheimer's disease? Dr. Ellie Campbell and Dr. Kathleen Carson explore five key ways your oral health directly impacts your brain: the mouth bacteria P. gingivalis and its link to Alzheimer's plaques, mercury in silver fillings as a neurotoxin, sleep apnea starving your brain of oxygen, the glymphatic system that cleans your brain at night, and the critical role of nitric oxide. A must-listen for anyone who wants to protect their cognitive future.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/S4ysMXLZil0DisclaimerSleep, Sex & Senility is produced for informational and educational purposes only.
