Ep. 72: Why Gut Symptoms Might Start in Your Mouth with Dr. Michelle Jorgenson

You’ve addressed your gut from every angle including diet, lifestyle & supplement protocols…but the bloating, constipation, or fatigue won’t budge. What if the root cause is actually in your mouth?

In this episode, I’m joined by biological dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgenson to unpack the powerful connection between oral health and gut health. From cavities as a sign of mineral depletion to the impact of mercury fillings, we explore how your dental history might be the reason your gut still isn’t healing

We’re covering:

• How gum disease, mouth breathing, and dry mouth disrupt digestion
• The link between oral infections and gut dysbiosis (including H. pylori)
• Why you can’t have a healthy gut with an unhealthy mouth
• What cavities may reveal about nutrient absorption and mineral status
• The biggest mistakes people make with oral hygiene—and what to use instead
• How to evaluate whether your root canal or fillings are affecting your health
