After my last mouthwash video sparked an incredible discussion, I wanted to dive deeper into what the science truly tells us. Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules for circulation, blood pressure, and cardiovascular function — and it all begins inside your mouth. Strong antiseptic mouthwashes can sometimes wipe out the very bacteria that help your body produce nitric oxide, while proper balance in the oral microbiome can actually support your heart and vascular system. In this video, I’ll walk you through what the research shows, why your oral health directly affects your cardiovascular health, and how to keep both in balance naturally.
