Episode 505
Tuesday, 14 January, 2025

In this episode of Health Gig, Doro and Tricia welcome Patti Milligan, a clinical dietitian, to explore the often-overlooked role of saliva in digestion and overall health. Saliva not only aids in food breakdown but also reflects the state of our nervous system, stress levels, and emotional resilience. Patti discusses factors that can impact saliva production and highlights the importance of understanding the connection between nutrition and saliva health. She offers practical strategies for managing saliva production, educating listeners on saliva’s potential as a non-invasive health marker. Her work demonstrates how targeted dietary changes and techniques can support saliva flow and overall health. She introduces a travel supplement kit designed to counteract the effects of jet lag and stress, showing how saliva research can lead to transformative outcomes across diverse groups. Ultimately, Patti’s insights suggest that optimizing saliva production can enhance both physical health and emotional resilience.
