Event: The Oral-Gut Connection

Ever been told your symptoms are ‘normal’—but you know in your gut (or maybe your mouth) that something’s off?

We’re taught to treat health in parts.
A specialist for digestion.
A different one for hormones.
Another for the skin.
But what if the real answers are in the links between?

Join us on Tuesday 8th April for Papaya Conversations: The Oral–Gut Connection, where we’re bringing together two powerhouse women—Dr. Vicky Prokopiou (Director & Principal Dentist, iDental Surgery) and Lauren Lee (Papaya Clinic)—to talk about something most people (and many practitioners) aren’t discussing:

👉 What’s happening in your oral microbiome could be driving your gut symptoms.
👉 What’s going on in your gut health might be influencing your mood, your energy, and your immune system.

Dr. Vicky will show you how she’s using live oral microscopy to assess inflammation and bacteria in the mouth—an approach most dentists still don’t use.

Lauren will walk you through functional gut and stool testing, what patterns we see across patients, and why early intervention matters more than ever.

This night is for:
✨ Curious humans with ongoing health concerns
✨ New parents wanting to start their family’s health journey on the right foot
✨ Practitioners seeking a more connected, collaborative way of supporting clients
