​​In this episode, I delve into the trendy topic of leaky gut, exploring its causes, symptoms, and how to fix it. We go into the importance of understanding the gut barrier and its functions, the role of the gut microbiome, and the various factors that contribute to leaky gut. Leaky gut doesn't just happen. It's the symptom of other underlying causes. Digging deeper, understanding and addressing root causes, and coming up with sustainable solutions is key. Completing a generic "leaky gut protocol" is simply not going to solve the issue. Stay until the end where we review actionable steps for improving gut health, including dietary changes, stress management techniques, and the significance of functional testing to identify your unique needs.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:

• Leaky gut - is it real?

• Leaky gut is often a *symptom* of other gut issues. Not the cause.

• Your gut is an ecosystem - not a one supplement fix all.

• Food sensitivities are the result of underlying gut dysfunction.

• Causes of leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability.

• Generic leaky gut protocols don't address root causes.
