Your mouth is the gateway to your gut. And if the oral microbiome is a mess? Your gut microbiome suffers too.

Here's what most people don't know:

The bacteria in your mouth travel down to your gut every single day. If you've got dysbiosis (bacterial imbalance) in your mouth, you're literally swallowing it into your digestive system.

This can contribute to:
• SIBO
• Leaky gut
• Chronic inflammation
• Bloating and digestive distress

And yet, how many practitioners are investigating your oral health when you come in with gut issues?

This is exactly the kind of connection The Gut Detective looks for.

Your gut issues might not even start in your gut. That's why investigation beats guessing every time.

I didn't choose the detective life—my own gut forced me into it.

Years ago, I was told my symptoms were "just stress" and handed a prescription. But something didn't sit right (pun intended). So I started investigating. I dug into my own case, asked the questions no one else was asking, and finally found answers.

That's when I realized: most people with gut issues aren't getting investigated—they're getting dismissed or handed cookie-cutter solutions.

So I became The Gut Detective.

I don't guess. I don't prescribe trends. I investigate—your symptoms, your history, your microbiome, your hormones—until I find what everyone else missed.

If your gut has been a mystery for too long, it's time to call in The Detective.

This article is concerning. Colon Cancer is no longer an age disease. Prevention of colon cancer is always better, cheaper, easier and way less symptoms than trying to cure.

If you would like to see what your colon bacteria look like at a genetic level, then why not do a microbiome test. It is quick and easy to do and is less invasive than other medical investigations and gives you loads of information that can help you with your current health and prevention of many chronic diseases.

Don't let Christmas wreck your gut (while still enjoying yourself)

Look, I don't want to be the Christmas Grinch so I'm not going to tell you to skip the Christmas pudding or avoid your nan's trifle. That's not realistic and frankly, it's not fun.

But here's what I DO want you to know:

Your gut doesn't cope well with sudden changes. Going from your regular eating routine to three days of grazing, rich foods, and endless champagne is like throwing your microbiome into chaos.

3 simple things to protect your gut this Christmas:

- Start with vegetables - Fill half your plate with veggies first. Your gut bacteria love fibre, and it helps slow down how quickly you demolish the rest

- Stay hydrated between drinks - Alcohol disrupts your gut lining. Water between drinks helps protect it

- Keep moving - A 20-minute walk after meals supports digestion and helps manage blood sugar spikes

You can enjoy Christmas AND support your gut. They're not mutually exclusive.
And if you do overdo it? Don't panic. One indulgent day won't destroy months of gut healing. Just get back to your normal routine when Christmas is over.

Your gut is more resilient than you think.

Enjoy your Christmas 🎄

P.S. If you're dreading January because you KNOW your gut will be a mess after the holidays, let's chat in the new year about actually fixing the underlying issues.

If you’ve got gut problems and oral symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath, a white coating on your tongue and lots of cavities, then you need to have you oral and gut microbiome investigated. The oral bacteria can weaken the intestinal lining, upset the beneficial bacteria, trigger inflammation and more.

16/12/2025

YOUR MOUTH IMPACTS YOUR GUT (And Why It Is Important)

New research on kids with cavities just revealed something critical - and if you're an adult with gut issues, you need to pay attention.

The Study:
Scientists analysed oral and gut microbiota in children with dental caries versus cavity-free kids. They found that kids with cavities didn't just have mouth dysbiosis - they had GUT dysbiosis too.

Specifically: increased Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Ruminococcus torques in their stool samples. Both species linked to inflammatory gut conditions.

So here's the thing - if cavities in kids create gut dysbiosis, what do you think DECADES of poor oral health is doing to your microbiome?

Consider this:
→ You swallow 1-2 litres of saliva every single day
→ That's 2,000+ swallows daily, each one delivering oral bacteria straight to your gut
→ Periodontal disease, gingivitis, chronic bad breath, bleeding gums - these aren't isolated "dental problems"
→ They're MICROBIAL IMBALANCES that you're constantly seeding into your digestive tract

The species that increase with oral dysbiosis?

Ruminococcus torques - linked to IBD and IBS
Streptococcaceae dominance - inflammation and immune dysfunction
Pathogenic species that DON'T belong in a healthy gut

Here's what the research tells us:
The mouth-gut connection is bidirectional and constant. When oral bacteria show up where they shouldn't be - in your gut microbiome testing - it's a red flag that something's migrating south.

You can take all the probiotics you want. Eat all the fermented foods. Follow the perfect protocol.

But if you're swallowing dysbiotic bacteria 2,000 times a day? You're self-sabotaging without even knowing it.

This is why root cause investigation matters.
Your bleeding gums aren't separate from your bloating.
Your chronic bad breath isn't separate from your reflux.
Your receding gums aren't separate from your constipation.
Everything is connected.

So what do you do?

Get honest about your oral health (when did you last see a dentist?)
Address oral dysbiosis as part of your gut healing protocol
Consider that your "dental problems" might be a window into deeper imbalances
Stop treating symptoms in isolation

✔️ STAGE 3: CASE RESOLUTION

We've investigated. We've analysed. Now it's time to actually FIX what's broken.

Stage 3 is where the Gut Detective 4X4 Program transforms from understanding to healing.

This is when we implement YOUR personalised protocol:

- Targeted natural therapies specific to your test results
- Food roadmap based on YOUR triggers (not generic restrictions)
- Supplement protocol matched to YOUR bacterial imbalances
- Nervous system support tailored to YOUR stress patterns

But here's what makes Stage 3 different from every other gut programme you've tried:
We're not guessing. Every recommendation is based on YOUR evidence from Stages 1 and 2.

That's why it works when nothing else has.

Real client transformation:
"After 3 years of bloating and trying every diet, I'm now eating foods I never thought I could touch again. My stomach is FLAT. I feel like myself again." MJ

That's Case Resolution.

Not managing symptoms. Actually solving the mystery.

Next week: The final stage - Stage 4, where we make sure your gut mystery stays solved forever...
