In the spirit of global health, we did a deep dive into the importance of oral-systemic health with Lora Hooper!

Lora is a multi-faceted oral health therapist who became the first dental hygienist to work for a cardiologist in an oral-systemic practice. She uses her expertise to help patients and clinicians incorporate integrative oral and general health practices into practice.

We are also delighted to announce that LGO will be joining the Integrative Dental Medicine Scholar Society at the 2024 Totality of Care Symposium in Knoxville! Over the coming days and weeks, we will continue to share more news on symposium speakers and educational topics related to oral-systemic health.

In this episode of Let's Get Oral, Camille and Jonathan interviewed Holly Ganz, PhD, Co-founder and Chief Science Officer of AnimalBiome.

Holly is a mission-driven entrepreneur who has harnessed her expertise in microbial ecology to develop one of the largest microbiome databases for companion pets. We talked about what motivated her to launch AnimalBiome, how antibiotic use can disrupt the microbiome of our pets, and how we as pet parents can keep our furkid's teeth healthy.

After launching a highly successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, Holly has been instrumental in the development of microbiome products and genomic databases that have helped thousands of pet parents address the gut and oral health issues their furry pets may be dealing with through microbiome science.

Some Highlights:

• AnimalBiome has analyzed fecal samples from at least 35 different species of pets including horses, pigs, rodents, birds, and more!
• Humans and pets can share microbes!
• Unlike dogs, cats cannot taste sweetness due to the lack of sugar-sensing taste buds. (Li, Xia, et al. "Cats Lack a Sweet Taste Receptor." The Journal of Nutrition)

Links from this episode:

• List of Holly's research articles that explore the environmental biology of Bacillus anthracis, how different diets influence the gut microbiome of pets, and more.
• More information on DoggyBiome™ and KittyBiome™ gut + oral health test kits.
