In a world where chronic gut conditions are reaching epidemic proportions, the culprits often lurk in our everyday environment. The rising rates of SIBO, ulcerative colitis, IBD, and other digestive disorders appear to be more closely tied to our toxic surroundings than previously understood.

In this episode, environmental medicine pioneer Dr. Lyn Patrick sits down with Dr. Nafysa Parpia to discuss and explore a critical but often overlooked factor in the growing epidemic of chronic gut conditions: the role of environmental toxicants, with a special focus on glyphosate and mold/mycotoxins.

Whether you're struggling with chronic gut issues or simply want to protect your digestive health in an increasingly toxic world, this episode provides essential insights for understanding and addressing these hidden health challenges.

Episode Highlights:

• Things we eat or drink every day set the stage for our dysbiosis
• The impact of common food emulsifiers and plasticizers like BPA on gut barrier function
