SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The Oral-Gut Connection: Dentistry's Role in Whole-Body Health
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR: The Oral-Gut Connection: Dentistry’s Role in Whole-Body Health\nPresented by Pedram Shojai\, OMD – The Urban Monk\, with Elmira Shojai\, DDS and Lora Hooper\, BSDH\, RDH\, EFDA \nThe oral cavity is more than the beginning of the digestive tract—it is a living microbial ecosystem and an important window into systemic inflammatory load. In this practical\, evidence-informed session\, dentists and dental-team members will explore the oral–gut axis: the two-way relationship among periodontal ecology\, the intestinal barrier\, the gut microbiome\, food-mediated immune patterns\, and whole-body health. \nThrough a clear\, clinically grounded framework\, you will learn how oral dysbiosis\, gingival inflammation and periodontal disease may coexist with gut dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability. Examine the biologic pathways that connect oral inflammation with cardiovascular\, metabolic\, neurologic and immune-health associations while clearly distinguishing association\, biologic plausibility and proven causation. \nSee how an ecosystem-based\, multi-point assessment can connect oral microbiome data\, GI-MAP findings\, and KBMO FIT176 food-immune context. Consider three anonymized clinical case studies that demonstrate how these data streams can be cross-correlated to form an individualized clinical thesis\, support appropriate care coordination\, and help patients understand why a whole-body lens matters. This course is designed to expand the dental professional’s ability to recognize oral-systemic patterns\, communicate responsibly\, and coordinate with qualified medical and functional-health partners without practicing outside scope. \nObjectives: \n\nDescribe the oral–gut axis and pathways of systemic inflammatory signaling\nDistinguish association from causation in periodontal-systemic health discussions\nIdentify oral-systemic pattern signals that may warrant a coordinated referral\nExplain the complementary roles of Orobiome\, GI-MAP\, and KBMO FIT176 data\nApply a multi-point diagnostic framework to formulate responsible\, patient-centered next steps\n\n\nDr. Pedram Shojai is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine\, functional medicine practitioner\, and New York Times bestselling author. He is the founder of The Urban Monk brand and the creator of the Interconnected documentary series — a multi-year research project on the gut microbiome and chronic disease featuring Dr. Jeffrey Bland and leading researchers in integrative medicine — and the Gateway to Health series on the oral microbiome and systemic health. He has developed functional medicine education programs used by practitioners across the United States and is a recognized voice in the integrative and functional medicine community. \nDr. Elmira Shojai has over 18 years of hands-on clinical experience revolutionizing how we understand the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. She earned her DDS from the University of the Pacific and spent over a decade in active clinical practice in California. In May 2025\, she became Chief of Dental Programs for Gateway to Health where she oversees a nationwide network of licensed dentists who provide personalized consultations based on cutting-edge oral microbiome testing. \nMs. Lora Hooper is nationally recognized as The Saliva Hacker™ and a leading educator in salivary diagnostics and oral–systemic health. Her work focuses on helping clinicians understand how oral pathogens influence systemic inflammation\, cardiometabolic disease and chronic health conditions. Lora has been involved in the interpretation and clinical application of more than 100\,000 saliva tests\, providing her with one of the most extensive real-world perspectives in salivary diagnostics. She currently collaborates with The Urban Monk at Gateway to Health\, where her work continues to connect oral health with broader approaches in metabolic and lifestyle medicine. \nDate: Tuesday\, November 10\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30pm – 8:00pm \nRate:\n$0 MDDS Member\n$0 MDDS Member Dental Team\n$25 MDDS Non-member\n$25 MDDS Non-member Dental Team \nLocation: Zoom Webinar \nCE Credits: 1.5 \nFormat:\nLive Virtual\, On-Demand available for 2 months following the webinar. \nSpeaker Conflict of Interest Disclosure: None reported. \nCancellation Deadline: November 6\, 2027 \nCancellation Policy\nCancellations will be accepted and are entitled to a refund provided they are received at MDDS by the cancellation deadline.

SUMMARY:Energy Leadership Coaching Group
DESCRIPTION:Dentistry is demanding. Between patient care\, business pressures\, and everything happening outside the office\, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly reacting to stress instead of leading your life and work the way you want. What if you could understand why certain situations trigger you the way they do—and learn how to respond differently in the moment? \nThat’s the focus of the Energy Leadership Group\, a four-month program\, facilitated by Dr. Laura Brenner\, designed to help dentists better understand how their mindset and stress responses shape their daily experience. \nWhat to Expect \nEnergy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment\nComplete the ELI to get a personalized look at how your mindset and stress responses shape your daily experience – then learn to shift them for better outcomes. \nMonth 1: Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment Debrief\nUnderstand your ELI results and gain a clear picture of your leadership baseline. \nMonth 2- 4: Practice + Real-Life Application\nBring real-life situations to the table. We’ll identify stress triggers\, challenge limiting beliefs\, and workshop new\, intentional ways to lead with clarity. \nDr. Laura Brenner worked in private practice in Denver for 10 years before leaving clinical dentistry behind for good. As the author of the Lolabees blog and 10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too\, she began connecting with other dentists from around the world who wanted more from their careers. This work inspired her to become a Certified Professional Coach who is passionate about helping dentists find joy in their careers again. \nDates:\nTuesday\, August 18\, 2026\nWednesday\, September 23\, 2026\nWednesday\, October 21\, 2026\nWednesday\, November 18\, 2026 \nTime:\n6:00pm – Dinner\n6:30pm – 8:00pm – Discussions \nRate:\n$30 – MDDS Member Dentist\n$60 – Non-Member Dentist \nLocation:\nMountain West Dental Institute\n925 Lincoln St\, Unit B\nDenver\, CO 80203
