Bad bacteria in the mouth trigger 54 systemic inflammatory diseases, from heart disease to Alzheimer's. The inflammation doesn't stay local. It travels through your bloodstream, attacking every organ in your body.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Levine to explore the science of oral-systemic health. We discuss his revolutionary mouth mapping system, the truth about root canals and mercury fillings, and why your primary physician might be unaware of critical health clues hiding in your mouth.

Dr. Levine reveals simple daily routines that take just three minutes but can transform your oral microbiome, plus surprising connections between mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and chronic disease that could be the missing piece in your health puzzle.

"The mouth is connected to the rest of the body. What happens in the mouth goes to the body." ~ Dr. Jonathan Levine

Heavy metals, chemicals, and hidden halogens are disrupting thyroid function and fueling Graves’ and Hashimoto’s. Millions struggle with weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, or unexplained symptoms, yet doctors often run only basic tests that miss the bigger picture.

In this episode, you’ll hear why heavy metals and flame retardants are so destructive, the overlooked role of fluoride and other halogens in blocking iodine, and essential tests and nutrients every thyroid patient needs to know about.

Dr. Osansky shares his personal experience reversing Graves’ without surgery or radioactive iodine, and what he now teaches patients looking for real solutions beyond medication alone.

This conversation could answer your questions about thyroid dysfunction, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s, or persistent hypothyroid symptoms.
