In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, Dr. Rani Banik sits down with Dr. Debbie Ozment—an integrative dentist with over 40 years of experience—to explore the mouth-body connection. They discuss how oral bacteria influence gut and brain health, why mouthwash may harm nitric oxide balance, and how small daily habits can transform your vitality, cognition, and overall wellness.

Curiosity led Dr. Debbie Ozment down a unique path as a dentist. A 1985 graduate of Oklahoma University College of Dentistry, her clinical practice took a dramatic turn as she observed her patients’ increasing list of medications and declining vitality. In response, Dr. Ozment completed a Master's degree in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and is a Diplomat with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Trained at Mayo Clinic, she is a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.

Dr. Ozment is the host of Vitality Made Simple, a weekly podcast committed to interviewing world experts in the area of Integrative Medicine. She is committed to early diagnosis and intervention of periodontal disease to positively affect not only the mouth but the entire body.

Enjoy her 14-minute TEDX Talk entitled “The Forgotten Orifice.”
