The Mouth-Heart Connection: Prevention Starts Earlier Than You Think
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if preventing a heart attack or stroke started long before symptoms ever appeared—and included what’s happening in your mouth?
In this episode of It Comes in Pints, Greg Tice sits down with Dr. Amy Doneen, co-developer of the BaleDoneen Method and a leading voice in cardiovascular disease prevention, for a conversation about the connections between oral health, inflammation, and heart and brain health.
Amy shares why traditional risk factors don't always tell the whole story, how periodontal disease and other sources of oxidative stress can affect arterial health, and why collaboration between medicine and dentistry is so important. She also explores the testing and prevention strategies that can help identify disease earlier—before a heart attack, stroke, or other serious event occurs.
It's a conversation that challenges us to stop looking at health in isolation and start seeing the bigger picture.
