Summary

In this episode about how saliva is special, Patti Milligan, a clinical nutritionist with 40 years of experience, discusses her unique journey into saliva research and its profound impact on human health. Patti recounts her experiences working with high-level executives and her subsequent discovery that saliva quality significantly affects nutritional resilience. She explains how noise vibrations in aircraft can decrease saliva production, triggering stress responses and impacting immune and digestive systems, thereby highlighting the importance of maintaining optimal salivary flow, especially during travel.

Patti emphasizes the critical role saliva plays in overall health, advocating for its potential as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for various conditions. She shares insights into potential future saliva-based tests that could measure markers like viral loads, nutrient deficiencies, and risks for degenerative diseases. Additionally, Patti discusses practical strategies to stimulate saliva production, such as consuming specific foods and employing simple Ayurvedic exercises, to optimize body resilience and digestion.

The conversation also touches on heartfelt client success stories, illustrating the transformative impact of addressing salivary health. Patti’s client testimonials include a child diagnosed with failure to thrive and an adult overcoming the challenges of head and neck cancer. Through her advocacy and educational efforts, Patti aims to bring more awareness to the critical but often overlooked role saliva plays in health, urging clinicians and patients alike to integrate saliva-focused practices into their wellness routines.
