My passion begins with personal tragedy.

One week after getting married in 2017 I became pregnant; after seeing a heartbeat I suffered an early term miscarriage at 9 weeks, I was devastated. I spent the next year trying everything I could to get pregnant again. Finally, in 2019 I was successful and was pregnant again with a boy. At 23 weeks pregnancy, I was asked to speak at a conference, I asked for permission to travel from my OB, and upon my return, my membranes ruptured and I suffered a late term loss called pprom-- essentially the baby was completely healthy, but my body had failed me, and with no amniotic fluid left in my placenta, his lungs were not developed enough for him to survive the outside world. Sadly, on 4/19/19 Dario Daniel Darvishian passed away.

I was beyond devastated and could not understand why this had happened to me. I was told I had an undetected infection, but how or why? I had to have answers and that is how I ended up learning about my own body and the links between oral bacteria and systemic health consequences. I quickly learned that certain bacteria have severe total body implications. Now at 42, I am naturally pregnant and have made it my mission to educate the public on their own mouth-body connection.
