Red Light Therapy & the Mitochondria for Oral Health, Introducing the Illume Toothbrush

Показать описание
It's time to light up our mouths! In today's episode, we cover research and information centered around the impact of mitochondrial function on oral health and oral diseases along with photobiomodulation research on how red and blue light therapy can impact oral health.

​​As we know from our past episodes with biological dentists (shoutout to Dr. Kelly Blodgett and Dr. Dominik Nischwitz), the impact of your oral health is not relegated to just your oral cavity  — it literally impacts every system and every organ in your body. Optimizing your oral health may be the easiest and most effective way to improve your systemic health!

​​I will also be officially introducing BioLight newest (and potentially most impactful) product to date: the Illume sonic toothbrush! The Illume incorporates red and blue LEDs that allows you to irradiate your teeth, gums and other oral tissues. There are many research-backed benefits of red and blue light for oral health: anti-inflammatory, pro-circulatory, mitochondrial-boosting, anti-bacterial/anti-microbial (i.e. improving oral microbiome), enamel erosion-mitigating, biofilm- and bad breath-reducing and much more!

If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)

As always, light up your health!
