Summary
In this podcast I have a great discussion with a good friend of mine from Sydney - Dr Steven Lin - discussing nutrition and dental health.
We talk about the structure of our jaws, dentition and how nutrition affects the development of airway structure in growing children.
We also discuss the need for more collaboration between dentists, doctors and nutrition professionals and more connected thinking when it comes to health promotion.
In this episode we cover:
- How nutrition can affect gum and teeth health
- We discuss the importance of the microbiota to oral health
- How our ‘oral microbiota’ is related to disease
- What we can learn from ancestral diets and teeth
- The issue of ‘natural’ and ‘unrefined’ sugars
- Vitamin D as an important micronutrient for dental health
- How understanding your mouth is important to understanding the rest of your body

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.7 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.6 | taken advice from guests, all like me you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.4 | you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle but you still feel fatigued in the |
| 0:20.8 | afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply isn't enough |
| 0:27.0 | for your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you |
| 0:32.8 | find yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does what generic advice |
| 0:38.1 | can't do. They look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and you've got microbiome to help |
| 0:43.9 | you understand how different foods affect your body so you can feel your best. Nailing your own |
| 0:49.0 | nutrition can have huge benefits on long term health as well as relieving more immediate problems |
| 0:54.3 | like fatigue. So magnesium supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they |
| 0:59.1 | might have little effect on someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation, |
| 1:03.9 | personalized nutrition takes away that trial and error and that very long process of trying to |
| 1:09.4 | figure out what's going on inside your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life changing |
