But, its simple name makes it hard to take seriously.

In this video, I discuss leaky gut, how it happens, and what you can do to avoid it.

When the tight junctions between the intestinal cells aren’t working properly, the junctions become permeable resulting in what is referred to as leaky gut.

When this occurs harmful substances like bacteria can pass from your digestive system into your body where they have the potential to wreak havoc and contribute to conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, and even obesity and metabolic diseases.

In the video, you'll discover how the foods you choose to eat contribute to your risk for developing leaky gut and my simple, one-sentence formula for avoiding it.
