Descripción

In this episode of The Well Being, we’re talking all about… mouthwash. Yep, that minty-fresh rinse might be doing more than you think! We dive into what the research says about certain mouthwashes—especially alcohol-based or chlorhexidine—and how they might be linked to high blood pressure. It turns out that messing with your mouth’s natural bacteria can have a bigger impact than just your breath. We also chat about why these types of mouthwashes should really only be used short-term and for specific reasons, ideally with guidance from your dentist. Plus, we share some healthier, everyday options and a few mouthwash brands we actually like. If you're looking to upgrade your oral care routine without harming your overall health, this one's for you.

Floss Smarter: Ingredients to Avoid + Better Brands

In this episode of The Well Being, we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of something you (hopefully) use every day: dental floss. Turns out, not all floss is created equal—and some of it might be coated in more than just mint. We break down what ingredients to look out for on the label, especially when it comes to coatings that may contain PFAS—also known as "forever chemicals"—which have been linked to a range of health concerns. Yep, even your floss can be part of the low-tox living conversation. We’ll also talk about safer floss options, what to look for when shopping, and some of the brands we love that prioritize both oral health and overall wellness. If you're aiming for a cleaner routine from top to bottom (or tooth to gum), this episode is for you.
