You Have No Idea What’s Going On In Your Health If You Can’t Test Your Mouth.
For women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or stubborn health plateaus: you can’t balance your hormones or fully heal your gut if your mouth is constantly seeding silent inflammation. Discover the hidden root causes of your symptoms with our clinical DNA spit test.
A Note From Dr. Pedram Shojai & Natalie Jill
“When Natalie and I sat down to discuss the hidden barriers to midlife vitality, we kept coming back to the exact same starting point: the mouth. You can clean up your diet, take elite gut supplements, and manage your stress, but if your oral microbiome is harboring hidden inflammation, your body remains on high alert. We developed this test to give you the exact, personalized blueprint you need to finally get results.”
Why Your Gut & Hormone Healing Protocols Are Stalling
Have you ever done everything “right”—cleaned up your diet, optimized your sleep, taken all the right supplements—and still felt like your energy, digestion, or hormones are completely stuck?
The “Upstream” Connection
Your digestive tract is one continuous, connected pipe from your lips to your colon. Every day, you swallow saliva. If unfriendly bacteria are breeding around your teeth, gums, old dental work, or root canals, you may be continuously seeding your gut with these microbes. A resilient gut needs a healthy upstream environment.
The Midlife & Hormone Shift
During perimenopause and menopause, natural drops in estrogen can make gums and mucosal tissues more sensitive to irritation. This hormonal shift changes the landscape of your mouth and can make inflammatory bacteria easier to establish.
✦ Let’s Translate the Science (No Jargon, Just Facts)
Plain English: A group of aggressive, inflammation-associated bacteria that can hide under the gumline and are associated with gum discomfort and systemic inflammation.
Plain English: A description of inflammatory bacterial byproducts entering circulation and contributing to a low-grade immune alert that may be associated with fatigue and brain fog.
The Root Canal & Hidden Infection Link
Many women in midlife carry old dental work, crowns, or root canals that deserve an informed conversation with a qualified dental professional. Oral microbiome testing can help surface bacterial patterns that may be relevant to a fuller clinical assessment.
Clinical Excellence: Real Experts on Your Side
This is not just another automated lab report that gets emailed to you with zero context. We believe in clinical-grade, personalized guidance.
Every saliva sample is processed through our advanced DNA sequencing lab and then hand-reviewed by our clinical team directed by Laura. The team analyzes the bacterial groupings in your mouth and prepares your results for a personalized discussion.
Step 1: Specialist Case Review
Clinical specialists examine your DNA report and consider bacterial groupings, past dental work, and the health context you share.
Step 2: 1-on-1 Results Presentation
A certified clinical team member meets with you 1-on-1 to present your findings, walk you through the data in plain English, and share the next steps for discussion with your care team.
The Orobiome Oral Microbiome Testing Package
Developed by Dr. Pedram Shojai’s functional medicine team, this comprehensive diagnostic kit reveals the bacterial landscape inside your mouth so you can discuss upstream contributors to chronic inflammation with qualified professionals.
- Specialist Case Review: Your lab results are evaluated by clinical professionals, not automated algorithms.
- Live Results Presentation: Meet 1-on-1 for a clear walkthrough of your oral microbiome report and tailored discussion points.
- The Systemic Roadmap: If appropriate, continue into the full Explore Tier, adding a GI MAP and KBMO panel for a broader mouth-to-gut picture.

Order your kit. It arrives at your door with what you need. Provide a quick saliva sample, place it in the pre-paid box, and send it back to the lab.
Specialist Case Review
The lab sequences your oral microbiome’s DNA, and the clinical team reviews the resulting bacterial groupings and reported health context.
Results Presentation
A clinical team member meets with you 1-on-1 to present the findings, answer questions, and share your personalized roadmap in plain English.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have root canals or dental implants. Will this test still be useful for me?
Root canals and implants can be relevant to an oral health conversation. Testing may help identify bacterial patterns you can discuss with a qualified dental professional, particularly when you have prior major dental work.
What is the timeline? How long does it take to get my results?
Once you mail your saliva sample back in the prepaid box, the sequencing lab typically needs 2 to 3 weeks to process the DNA. When your report is ready, the clinical team reaches out to schedule the results presentation.
Is the Midlife Conversations® discount applied automatically?
Yes. Each button on this page routes through Natalie Jill’s special partner link. The $301 partner discount is reflected in the $399 package price shown here.
What happens during the 1-on-1 consultation call?
You’ll meet with a certified clinical team member who translates your DNA report into plain English, explains the bacterial groups identified, and shares discussion points for your nutrition and oral care plan.
