How Oral Care Impacts Your Whole Body

In today’s episode, I sit down with Vincent La Iacona, a scientist-turned-entrepreneur who’s challenging everything we think we know about oral care. After years working inside the industry, he realized dentists often focus too narrowly on brushing and flossing, ignoring the broader connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. Vincent breaks down how his company Aura Flora combines hyaluronic acid, microbiome-balancing prebiotics and postbiotics, and innovative flavors like yuzu-peppermint to create a full-mouth system that supports gut, brain, and sleep health. We also get into the leadership shift required to move from big corporate structures to fast-moving startups and what it takes to keep learning as a CEO.
