I was honored to be a recent guest on the Vitality Made Simple Podcast with the wonderful Dr. Debbie Ozment! Dr. Ozment shares practical, understandable and fun strategies to enhance your Vitality and Healthspan on her show. She is a wealth of knowledge, and is committed to early diagnosis and intervention of periodontal disease to positively affect not only the mouth, but the entire body.
In this episode we talk about about my pursuit to understand and unravel complex health challenges, starting with Parkinson’s Disease after my husband John was diagnosed. I intensely investigated the gut microbiome as a root cause for so-called “hopeless” diseases, and we discuss how some of my discoveries can enhance your vitality and your relationships.
Behind closed eyes, the brain is carrying out a carefully coordinated night shift. And research into the microbiome raises an intriguing question: how might the activity in our gut influence the sleep that gives this work its opportunity?
When discussing gut health, the conversation usually centers on the microbiome. While balancing gut bacteria remains essential, cutting-edge science highlights another critical component of cellular health: the glycocalyx.
When discussing chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, conventional medicine frequently focuses on a single narrative: dopamine depletion. While managing neurotransmitters remains a core part of traditional care, emerging physical chemistry and microbiome research reveal a far broader picture.
