Your health starts in your mouth. Jessica shares her expertise as a former dentist, oral health expert and health coach, highlighting how oral health impacts your overall health. You may have heard of leaky gut, but are you familiar with leaky mouth? Your mouth has a microbiome just like your gut.  Jessica offers practical tips about eating habits that allow saliva to do its job correctly and her other pillars for maintaining excellent health, sleep, breathing, and movement. Oral bacteria infection impacts your brain and heart health, and prioritizing the mouth is just as important as prioritizing good sleep. 

Jessica shares her unique perspective as a Swede living in the USA and how the cultures differ  around eating.  We discuss the American phenomenon of snacking and how the digestive system, along with the microbiome of the mouth, prefers time in between meals and eating to reset for optimal function and health. The functional nutrition rhythm is eat, digest, rest.
