“All disease begins in the gut.” – Hippocrates
Your gut health holds the key to your overall health! The health of your gastrointestinal system is extremely important to your overall well-being. When your gut health is impaired, it can affect your body’s vitamin and mineral absorbency, hormone regulation, digestion, vitamin production, immune response, and ability to eliminate toxins, not to mention your overall mental health.
Leaky Gut syndrome is still a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that certain symptoms may be related to intestinal permeability. This happens when tight junctions in the gut, which control what passes through the lining of the small intestine, are impaired. When this happens, substances like undigested food particles can leak into the bloodstream causing the body’s immune system to respond. The result can be detrimental to your health.
