Ever heard of leaky gut and wondered if it's real or just wellness hype? In this episode from 2022, Megan and Danna dive deep into intestinal permeability—what it actually is, why conventional medicine struggles to diagnose it, and what you can do about it.

Originally recorded as a live YouTube session in 2022.

You'll learn the "cheese cloth" analogy that makes leaky gut finally make sense, why your body might be attacking perfectly healthy carrots, and how everything from brain fog to joint pain could be connected to your gut health.

Whether you're dealing with IBS, autoimmune issues, or just want to understand your gut better, this conversation breaks down complex functional medicine concepts into actionable insights.

Key Topics:

1. The difference between conventional and functional medicine approaches
2. Why inflammation isn't always the enemy
3. Testing options (both available now and coming soon)
4. The five R program: Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, Rebalance
5. When probiotics can actually make things worse
6. FODMAPs and elimination diets done right
