127: She says: throw out your toothpaste (do this instead)
These days, a lot of people are wondering about maintaining the health of their immune systems.
And if you’ve been listening to my special episodes on the coronavirus, then you’ve probably heard me talk about the importance of your gut microbiome.
But one thing I DIDN’T talk about is the importance of the bacteria living inside your MOUTH.
That’s right! Healthy dental hygiene can actually play a HUGE role in the health of your immune system.
And my guest today is going to tell you all about it. Nadine Artemis is the author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums.
