What if we told you your mouth might be the secret key to protecting your brain, your heart… and even your long-term health? This week, we’re joined by world-renowned dentist and wellness expert Dr. Jonathan Levine to talk about the connection between oral health and whole-body healing. He breaks down how your gums can warn you about inflammation, why bleeding when brushing isn’t normal (even though most people think it is!), and how dental hygiene plays a bigger role in disease prevention than you’ve ever been told. PLUS, Dr. Levine walks us through his 4-minute protocol to reset your oral health, simple, doable, and science-backed. You’ll walk away empowered with tools to take charge of your health… starting with your smile. Tune in, squad!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Bleeding gums aren’t normal: They’re an early sign of inflammation and can be a warning flag for more serious issues in the body like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. Don’t ignore it—treat the gums, support the body. Oral health impacts systemic health: Your mouth is the gateway to your entire body. Bacteria in the mouth can trigger inflammation that spreads to the brain, heart, and gut. Healing starts with hygiene. Try the 4-minute oral reset: Dr. Levine recommends a simple 4-minute daily routine (electric brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, and using a mouth rinse) to reduce inflammation and protect your whole-body health. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjonlevine/?hl=en Website: https://www.drjonathanlevine.com/  Smile House: https://www.instagram.com/smilehousetribeca/  JBL: https://www.instagram.com/jblnewyorkcity/  If you're in NYC, Dr. Levine is offering one complimentary whitening treatment when you book a Mouth Mapping appointment at Smile House or JBL NYC.
