Believe it or not, bacteria has so much to do with the way our body functions. Both inside and out, our bodies harbor a huge array of micro-organisms, where a shocking 98% of this bacteria is actually good for us. Our microbiome–the body’s own ecosystem of microorganisms–is the first line of defense against disease and illness. It’s the protective shield that keeps our immune systems intact – so we must do everything we can to protect it. Keeping our microbiome healthy starts with the foods we eat and the types of oral care products we use, resulting in maintained whole-body health. So how do we manage this balance? Which of our daily products do we need to reassess? And how does a balanced microbiome lead to long-term health and success? I’m excited to break down these questions with Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, founder of Lumineux. Dr. Maddahi is a world-renowned and award-winning cosmetic dentist and best-selling author of his latest book, The Toxic Overload, which highlights just how connected your mouth and body are to overall health and well-being. Welcome to the party Dr. Maddahi! • Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com.
