Description

What if the key to your fertility isn’t just in your hormones—but in your mouth?

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Katie Lee, dentist, entrepreneur, and author of Saved by the Mouth, to uncover the powerful connection between oral health and reproductive outcomes. We break down how bacteria in your mouth can influence conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and even stillbirth—and what you can do to protect your fertility, pregnancy, and long-term health.

You’ll Learn:

  • How oral bacteria affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes
  • Why inflammation in your gums triggers inflammation throughout your body
  • The truth about dental care during pregnancy (and why skipping the dentist could backfire)
  • How salivary testing works—and what it can reveal about your reproductive health
  • Everyday oral care habits that protect your fertility
