Is my oral microbiome linked to my heart
00:00:02
health?
00:00:03
Yes, there's a there's a microbiome that
00:00:06
goes all the way from your nose, mouth,
00:00:08
all the way down to the anus. And each
00:00:10
one is specific and can predict whether
00:00:13
you're going to get cardiovascular
00:00:14
disease or not. There's unequivocal data
00:00:16
to show that if you have bad teeth, bad
00:00:18
dental hygiene, bad bacteria in your
00:00:21
mouth, you're going to get valvular
00:00:22
disease such as aotic stenosis,
00:00:24
premature calcification of your aotic
00:00:26
valve, and you're going to get coronary
00:00:28
calcification. That's been proven
00:00:30
unequivocally. Patients who have chronic
00:00:32
sinusitis in your So you think that
00:00:34
that's benign? If you have chronic
00:00:35
sinusitis,
00:00:36
what's chronic sinusitis?
00:00:38
Chronic sinusitis, infections inside
00:00:40
your maxural sinuses, frontal sinuses
00:00:42
constantly and you get these headaches
00:00:45
and and you get the cold and you block
00:00:47
nose and you constantly cog up inside
00:00:49
here. That's inflammation. And often
00:00:53
times that's also linked to premature
00:00:56
coronary artery disease and inflammation
00:00:57
in your body. Especially when it's
00:00:58
fungal. There's a condition called
00:01:00
fungal sinusitis. And this mold it
00:01:03
causes that lowgrade inflammation in
00:01:05
your body. And this has been linked to
00:01:07
coronary artery disease. See what's
00:01:09
happening is we transforming the whole
00:01:11
definition of the causes of coronary
00:01:14
artery disease. We have been so myopic
00:01:18
in our definition of what causes
00:01:20
coronary artery disease. Where's
00:01:22
everything, your entire lifyle,
00:01:26
mental, physical, eating, everything
00:01:29
will affect your coronary arteries.
00:01:31
Everything.
