[Podcast] Biofilm Focused Clinical Strategies for Human Health
Dr. Jocelyn Strand joined Dr. Lexi Gonzales and Dr. Chris D’Adamo for a live recording at LongevityFest 2025 to discuss the emerging science of biofilms and their relevance to immune function and microbial balance.
During the conversation, Dr. Strand described how biofilms can act as an “invisibility cloak,” helping microbes persist by limiting exposure to immune activity and environmental factors. She also reviewed research exploring how certain compounds—including botanicals—are being studied for their role in influencing biofilm dynamics and microbial ecosystems.
The discussion also highlighted the potential connection between the oral cavity and the gut, including how everyday saliva exchange may contribute to microbial transfer. Additional topics included the resilience of biofilm-associated organisms compared to free-floating microbes and ongoing research in this area.
