This week I discuss the importance gut health plays in having optimal health!  

Leaky gut plus endotoxins are likely the main causal factor in many of the chronic diseases we see today. New research shows that leaky gut plays a role in everything from anxiety to skin issues to cancer and autoimmune disorders. What can we do to reduce endotoxins in the gut?

1. Remove everything upsetting to the gut 

This could be different depending on the individual.  Whenever you eat something that upsets your gut, that’s a sign that you're increasing intestinal inflammation and endotoxin production

2. Eliminating Gluten

Gluten increases zonulin production, a protein that breaks apart the tight junctions in your digestive tract. Some individuals are more sensitive than others.

3. Remove Lectins

Lectins are proteins that the plant uses to protect itself. They’re found in all foods, but in very high quantities in beans (legumes) and grains .

4. Remove Vegetable Seed Oils

Vegetable Oils such as Sunflower, Canola, Peanut (to name a few) when heated cause oxidation and inflammation in the body.

5. Reduce Stress

Prioritize 10-15 minutes of meditation to help reduce stress.

6. Eat Nutrients that Support the Gut

Eating nose to tail provides almost all the nutrients you would need.

Focusing on reducing endotoxins in the gut can play an integral part in preventing disease and losing those unwanted pounds.

Have a great day!
