In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m welcoming Dr. Katie Lee, a nationally recognized dentist, author, and founder of Collective Health Society in Colorado. She’s sharing some truly eye-opening insights about the link between oral health and fertility.
In this episode, we cover:
- What the oral microbiome is and why it matters for fertility
- How gum disease, infections, and cavities can impact hormone balance
- The connection between oral health and conditions like PCOS or endometriosis
- What oral health can tell us about sperm motility and quality
- The role of specific bacteria like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum
- How saliva testing and oral prebiotics might support your fertility
- The effects of estrogen and progesterone on mouth health
- What to know about dental care while trying to conceive or going through IVF
