Thyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DO  

Recorded 6-17-2022

SHOW NOTES EPISODE 8

LEAKY GUT

Host: Dr. Angela Mazza, DO

Co-host: Dawn Sheffield

I’m Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida.  My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions.  By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive.  My goal is to help us live more fulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best.

I wanted to do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage.  That’s deeply fulfilling.  I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health.

In fact, this is why I went into endocrinology.  It’s a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that they encompass.  

To recap just some of what we discussed in episode 8—not necessarily in this order:

• Why a healthy gut is so very important;
• What is the microbiome?;
• What is “leaky gut”?;
• How “leaky gut” can contribute to autoimmune conditions, like Hashimoto thyroiditis;
• How gluten may cause inflammation in the gut;
• The difference between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity;
• How avoiding inflammatory foods can help heal the gut; and
• Possible supplements to consider in healing the gut.

I hope this discussion of Leaky Gut was helpful, and that you will continue listening to this podcast.  We’ll build on today’s foundation and cover some topics I think you’ll find meaningful.  We have many more interesting episodes, and guests, planned.

Our next episode, episode 9, will be: Leaky Gut—The Sequel!  (That is, Leaky Gut Part 2.)
