Leaky gut health

 

LEAKY GUT: As Hippocrates said – All disease begins in the gut, and I think we’re starting to understand just how true this might be. Food allergies, fatigue, joint pain, thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions, depression, bloating, skin issues, Endometriosis and weight gain have all been shown to be linked to LEAKY GUT.

What is it?

Your GIT is like a tube from our mouth to your anus. This tube is fussy about what it lets through, so it has tiny holes in it that allows only specific things through.

Causes

1. Poor diet – un-sprouted grains, sugar, GMO’s and conventional dairy.
2. Long Term Stress – you know who this means
3. Toxic overload from the chemicals in our food, cosmetics, soft furnishings etc etc
4. Bacterial imbalance: Candida, SIBO etc

Treatments

There are a few different ways to address this and I’ll cover them this week. First up –

L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid supplement that is anti-inflammatory and necessary for the growth and repair of your intestinal lining. It protects and coats your cell walls. Available from your health food store or health practitioner. Take as directed.
