Your Mouth Might Be Fueling Your Autoimmune Symptoms (What Most Patients Are Never Told)

What if part of your autoimmune or chronic illness picture has been hiding in plain sight—your mouth?
For many people living with invisible illness, answers feel scattered, incomplete, or dismissed. This conversation brings clarity without fear.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Toni Engram, a biological dentist, integrative health coach, and founder of Flourish Dental Boutique in Richardson, Texas. After navigating her own autoimmune health challenges, Dr. Engram shifted her philosophy from symptom-focused dentistry to a whole-body, prevention-centered approach that honors the deep connection between oral health and systemic wellness.

This episode is for:

• Individuals living with autoimmune disease, Lyme, chronic illness, or invisible illness who feel like something is being overlooked

• Professionals and employers interested in whole-person health, prevention, and sustainable performance

• Anyone curious about how oral health fits into a more integrative, supportive care model

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• How oral inflammation can interact with immune and nervous system health

• What “biological dentistry” means—and how it differs from conventional approaches

• Why patients with chronic illness often feel unheard in traditional care models

• What SMART certification and safer dental practices aim to support

• How airway health, breathing, and oral structure can influence overall wellbeing

• Questions to consider when assembling a truly collaborative healthcare team

This episode is educational, empowering, and grounded—designed to help listeners ask better questions and feel more confident advocating for their health, without medical claims or fear-based messaging.

Whether you’re managing an autoimmune condition personally or supporting people who are, this episode offers a broader lens on prevention, resilience, and informed choice.
