The Gateway to Healing: Uncovering the Intersection of the Oral Microbiome, Gut Health, and Chronic Disease
You’ve likely heard of (and treated) the gut microbiome – a vibrant community of organisms that, when in balance, play a role in maintaining overall health and well-being. But did you know there is a 45% overlap between the microbial communities living in the oral cavity and in the gut? Our oral microbiome plays a critical role in supporting an array of symptoms related to heart health, gut health, cognitive performance, sexual health, immune function and more – and Nitric Oxide connects the dots. With evidence-based changes to daily habits and oral hygiene, you can help your patients build an optimal environment for a balanced oral microbiome, Nitric Oxide creation, chronic symptom improvement, and whole-body health.
Join Dr. Haroldo Magarinos and Dr. Chris Easton for this moderated conversation on the importance of a healthy and balanced oral cavity – the pearly gates to chronic disease resolution and total body wellness.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the importance of the ‘Miracle Molecule’ in chronic disease care, including gut health
- Understand the role of the oral microbiome in regulating Nitric Oxide and contributing to a healthy gut microbiome
- Gain clinical tools to assess and address Nitric Oxide dysregulation by harnessing the power of the microbiome
- Learn to identify the signs and symptoms of patients who are experiencing oral dysbiosis and low Nitric Oxide levels that impact healing protocols

Dr. Chris EastonScientific Advisory Board
Professor Chris Easton has led research studies in the fields of applied exercise physiology, physical activity, and health for nearly twenty years. He has extensive experience conducting exercise tests, training studies, and measuring physical activity and physiological outcomes in a wide range of different populations including children, the elderly, clinical groups, sedentary adults, trained athletes and Olympic champions. His primary research focus is to establish the impact of modulating nitric oxide bioavailability, via the diet and exposure to sunlight, on parameters of cardiovascular health and exercise performance in different populations. His recent work has demonstrated the importance of the oral microbiome in the regulation of nitric oxide production and sheds further light on the interplay between oral health and cardiovascular homeostasis. Professor Easton has further interest in the evaluation of mobile methods of assessing physiological and health outcomes in free-living populations for application in health services.
