The Gateway Within: Your Mouth Speaks the Language of Your Body | Femiliarise #18 | Dr PriyaKalyani

🦷 The Gateway Within: How Your Mouth Speaks the Language of Your Body | Femiliarise

“They say the eyes are the window to the soul —
but the mouth is the mirror to your health.”

In this episode of Femiliarise, we explore how your mouth reveals far more than cavities and smiles. From ancient stories to modern science, oral health offers powerful clues about your hormones, stress, heart health, immunity, fertility, and brain health.

Joining me is Dr. Varun Acharya, dental surgeon and preventive oral health advocate, as we decode the fascinating world inside your mouth — and why waiting for pain is often too late.

✨ What we talk about:
• Why preventive dental visits are rare (and why they matter)
• Dental fear — where it comes from
• The basics of oral anatomy & the oral microbiome
• Links between oral health and diabetes, Alzheimer’s & autoimmune diseases
• Are we brushing the right way? (technique, timing, toothpaste & tools)
• Flossing, oil pulling, tongue scraping & mouthwash — what actually helps
• Brushing after coffee, sugar or acidic drinks — when to wait and why
• Mouth breathing, bad breath & bleeding gums

👩‍⚕️ Women’s oral health across life stages
• PCOS, insulin resistance & cavities
• Oral health in pregnancy & pregnancy gingivitis
• Menopause, tooth loss & burning mouth syndrome
• Fertility and oral health — in women and men

⚡ Myth or Fact + Rapid Fire
From whitening hacks and DIY remedies to scaling myths, electric toothbrushes, coffee vs tea, sugar-free gum, favourite dental myths and one tip everyone should remember for life.

🪞 Why this matters
The mouth is where nourishment begins, conversation flows, and every smile starts — but beneath it lies a deeper story of your overall health.

Listen to it.
Care for it.
Because caring for your mouth is caring for your whole being.
