In this episode we sit down with Brynn MacLennan, founder of Slate, to uncover why flossing matters way beyond fresh breath: it protects your gums, heart, and even your brain. Brynn walks us through startling stats, her own wake-up stories, and how Slate’s easy-to-use flosser and gum-sweeps make a 30-second habit actually doable for kids, seniors, and anyone with sore hands.
