Oral Testing & Consultation — CATALYST & SAGE Add-On
Is Your Mouth the Missing Piece
in Your Protocol?
If your CATALYST or SAGE protocol is producing good results but not the complete resolution you expected, the oral microbiome is often the upstream variable that hasn't been addressed. This add-on gives your medical team the oral data they need to close the loop — with a licensed dentist and oral microbiome specialist reviewing your results in the full context of your active program.
For active CATALYST and SAGE program members only. This add-on is available exclusively to clients currently enrolled in the CATALYST or SAGE program. Your results will be reviewed by a licensed dentist and oral microbiome specialist in the context of your existing protocol — not as a standalone consultation, but as an integrated clinical input into your ongoing care.
If you are not currently enrolled in CATALYST or SAGE and are interested in oral microbiome testing, the standalone Orobiome Testing Package ($399) is available separately.
Every time you swallow — roughly 600–700 times per day — you seed your gut with the bacteria living in your mouth. If your oral microbiome contains elevated pathogenic species, those bacteria continuously recolonize your gut, undermining the microbiome rebalancing work your protocol is doing downstream. This is one of the most common reasons CATALYST and SAGE clients see strong initial progress that plateaus or partially reverses.
The Orobiome test identifies exactly which oral pathogens are present and at what levels. The licensed dentist and oral microbiome specialist consultation reviews those findings in the context of your active protocol — giving your coach and medical team the upstream data needed to determine whether oral intervention should be added to your current plan, and if so, what specifically.
Two Deliverables. One Integrated Clinical Picture.
🦷
Orobiome Oral Microbiome Test Kit
Ships directly to your door. A simple saliva swab — no clinic visit required. Processed by a CLIA-certified lab using advanced DNA sequencing to identify and quantify every significant bacterial species in your oral ecosystem. Results returned within 10–14 business days and shared directly with your program's medical team.
Practitioner-ordered value: $350–$500
🩺
Licensed Dentist & Oral Microbiome Specialist Consultation
A 1-on-1 consultation with a licensed dentist who is also a certified oral microbiome specialist. Unlike a standard dental consult, this session is specifically focused on how your oral findings interact with your active CATALYST or SAGE protocol — with clinical recommendations that integrate directly into your existing care plan.
Specialist consultation value: $400–$600
📉
Progress Plateau
Strong initial results that have leveled off or partially reversed despite full protocol compliance — a common pattern when oral pathogens are continuously reseeding the gut.
🔄
Recurring Gut Dysbiosis
Pathogen or bacterial overgrowth findings that return on follow-up testing after clearance — suggesting a persistent upstream source that downstream treatment alone cannot resolve.
🦷
Oral Health History
History of gum disease, periodontal treatment, root canals, cavitations, or chronic dental infections — all of which are associated with significantly elevated oral pathogen load.
🧠
Persistent Systemic Symptoms
Ongoing brain fog, fatigue, or inflammatory markers that haven't fully resolved with gut-focused intervention — oral pathogens like Porphyromonas gingivalis are documented drivers of systemic neuroinflammation.
💊
Supplement Non-Response
Limited response to probiotic and prebiotic supplementation — which can occur when oral pathogens are outcompeting beneficial species before they reach the gut.
🔍
Coach or Medical Team Recommendation
Your CATALYST or SAGE coach or medical team has identified oral microbiome assessment as a clinical priority based on your case history, symptom pattern, or test results to date.
How is this different from the standalone Orobiome Testing Package?
The standalone Orobiome Testing Package ($399) includes the test kit, a licensed dentist and oral microbiome specialist consultation, a health coach session, and a library of bonus resources — it's designed for people who are new to oral microbiome testing and need the full educational context. This add-on is specifically for active CATALYST and SAGE clients: the specialist consultation is focused on how your oral findings interact with your existing protocol, and the results are integrated directly into your ongoing care plan by your program's medical team. The clinical depth and program integration are what justify the difference in price.
Will my coach and medical team see my results?
Yes. Your Orobiome results and the specialist's clinical recommendations are shared with your CATALYST or SAGE medical team as part of this add-on. This is what makes the consultation program-integrated rather than standalone — your team can incorporate the oral findings into your active protocol adjustments rather than treating them as a separate data point.
When in my program should I add this?
This add-on is most valuable when you and your coach have identified a progress plateau, recurring dysbiosis, or persistent symptoms that suggest an upstream variable hasn't been addressed. Many clients add it at the 2–3 month mark when initial protocol results are clear and the next layer of optimization is being planned. Your coach can advise on the optimal timing based on your specific case.
Is there a refund policy?
There are no refunds on this add-on. The laboratory charges are incurred the moment your order is placed — before the kit is even shipped. Because we pay the lab immediately upon purchase, we are unable to issue refunds under any circumstances. Please ensure you are ready to proceed before completing your order. If you have any questions prior to purchasing, contact our support team and we’ll be happy to help.
