The Oral-Gut Connection: Unlocking Systemic Health

In this episode of Your Mouth Matters, Dr. Rebecca Taylor of Green City Dental in Edmonds, WA, welcomes Ceylon, an integrative nutritionist and health coach specializing in gut health. Dr. T and Ceylon take a deep dive into the mouth-gut connection and reveal why addressing gut dysbiosis can dramatically improve oral health - a concept that revolutionizes how we think about treating gum disease and decay. Ceylon shares what makes spore-based probiotics special and how they can be used in a comprehensive approach to restoring gut health. Using the analogy of tending a garden, Ceylon explains how any effective protocol must do three things: eliminate harmful bacteria, support beneficial species, and remove toxins from the system. Dr. T shares compelling personal experiences, including how this type of protocol dramatically improved her young daughter’s eczema within just a week and a half. She emphasizes the importance of following the complete three-month protocol rather than cherry-picking individual supplements. They conclude with practical guidance on maintenance protocols and the importance of working with practitioners who understand the mouth/body connection. Learn more about Ceylon’s private practice: https://www.inbodybyceylon.com/Learn more about spore-based probiotics: https://microbiomelabs.com/home/ Follow us: https://www.facebook.com/greencitydental https://www.instagram.com/greencitydental/ https://www.tiktok.com/@greencitydental
