Is your oral health ruining your sex life? 

Yes, I’m going there today - into your bedroom! Because there’s something happening inside of your mouth that can affect your sexual health.

Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of bacteria, both good and bad. Maintaining a balanced oral microbiome isn't just essential for fresh breath and healthy teeth and gums - it may influence your overall well-being in unexpected ways…including erectile dysfunction!

Recent research suggests that an imbalanced oral microbiome can lead to inflammation and an increase in harmful bacteria. This imbalance triggers a cascade of events that could disrupt Nitric Oxide (NO) production, a molecule vital for blood flow regulation.

Nitric oxide (NO), is a remarkable molecule that despite being voted the “Molecule of the Year '' in 1992, still remains largely uncelebrated despite its pivotal role in various bodily systems and processes. 

If you’re interested in reducing inflammation or improving your digestion, sleep quality, immunity, memory, sexual health, and behavior, then you need to know about nitric oxide, and the critical role your oral health plays in producing enough of it in your body.

What happens in your mouth, does not stay in your mouth (it’s not Vegas after all!) The bacteria in your mouth actually affects your gut microbiome and can lead to many systemic diseases.^[1]

This bacteria can invade your body and cause internal infection and inflammation in your

organs. It’s true. Any kind of bleeding gums and rotting teeth can give this bacteria a way into your bloodstream and your body, making its way down to your organs. 

THIS, my friend, is a BIG problem. This is called sepsis, which is the presence of harmful bacteria and toxins in your tissue, organs and other body parts. It typically starts through infection of a wound.

The moment you’ve dreaded has arrived, and it’s time for your semi-annual dental checkup. Regardless of the brushing and flossing you’ve attempted to mandate in your home, you’re anxious that it just wasn’t enough to avoid those dreaded words, “Ah, I found something....” 

For decades, hearing that you have a cavity engaged an unstoppable chain reaction of Novocain and tooth fillers provided by your well-meaning but uninformed dentist. Here at Primal Life, I decided I had to stop this cycle and teach you not just how to heal your cavities, but how to prevent them from ever forming again with several natural and non-invasive solutions.  

Our mainstream healthcare system has a major problem. 

The dental products lining your bathroom sink right now could be destroying your mouth. I’m talking about fluoride toothpaste, harsh mouthwash, and peroxide whitening gel.

The marketing campaigns behind these products are clever, but don’t let yourself be fooled. Conventional dental products strip your oral microbiome of its natural protections and leave your teeth and gums vulnerable to damage and decay. 

But there’s another part of this equation that nobody is talking about: saliva. 

The mainstream healthcare system in our country has a major problem.

Most doctors and dentists are taught to examine and treat just one area of the body. Dentists pay attention to the teeth and gums, cardiologists focus on the heart, and orthopedic doctors handle the bones and joints. What is wrong with this plan?

The body isn’t just a random set of puzzle pieces that can be examined individually! The human body is a complex and deeply interconnected system. 

Foot pain, for example, doesn’t start and end in the foot. It could be nerve damage in the legs, spinal cord misalignment, or obesity, just to name a few. When the interconnectivity of the body is overlooked and ignored, your health suffers as a result.
