308: Protect the Microbiome of Your Mouth w/ Essential Oils w/ Caroline Duggan, CBO of Lumineux

 
 
 

Kill them all! When it comes to oral health, outdated technology and science has convinced us that our goal is to KILL THEM ALL!  Or at least 99.99% right?  I’m talking about bacteria.  We all grew up with ads and products targeted towards annihilating bacteria.  But honestly, that science is so outdated.  Sterilization has become a way of handling our health, which is a very western way of thinking, and quite intense.  We are conditioned to be terrified of bacteria, fungus, etc.  But you are walking bacteria!  There are so many wonderful solutions to oral health that aren’t over-kill.  There are products, ingredients (like essential oils), aloe vera, and more that can up your oral health game to a much higher level. I sit down with CBO of the much loved oral-care brand Lumineux, Caroline Duggan, to discuss all things oral health. She may just blow your mind!

Caroline Duggan is the Chief Brand Officer for Lumineux, an oral health company set out to prove that when it comes to oral care, plant and mineral rich formulas can stand up against any leading brand with stellar results. She is the co-author of 3 books on the subject of oral health, including “The Toxic Overload,” which addresses the subject of the role of good bacteria in the mouth for whole body health.
