We explore the oral gut connection and why issues like periodontal disease are rarely just dental problems. Dr. Magariños explains how chronic oral infections, environmental toxins, and an overburdened detox system can quietly contribute to systemic inflammation and ongoing symptoms. We talk about why focusing on individual symptoms often misses the bigger picture.

We also dive into biological dentistry, the oral microbiome, and how detox pathways actually function. Dr. Magariños shares practical insights on supporting detoxification in a way that makes sense, where people often go wrong with detox approaches, and how binders fit into a broader strategy for helping the body clear toxins.

If you are dealing with persistent gut issues, inflammatory symptoms, or feel like your body is not clearing things the way it should, then definitely take a listen!
