Is “leaky gut” just wellness BS?

You’ve probably heard the term tossed around—sometimes with more hype than science.

But here’s the truth: Leaky gut—or increased intestinal permeability—is real. When the tight junctions in your gut lining become compromised, particles like bacterial LPSs slip into your bloodstream, triggering inflammation and immune reactions.

Over time, this can show up as:

– Food intolerances
– Chronic fatigue
– Systemic inflammation
– Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's

What causes it?

👉🏼 Overuse of NSAIDs, antibiotics, and other meds
👉🏼 Alcohol use
👉🏼 Chronic stress
👉🏼 Dysbiosis (gut microbiome imbalance)
👉🏼 Environmental toxins
👉🏼 An inflammatory diet
👉🏼 Conditions like celiac, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis

Bad news? There’s a lot of BS overdiagnosis, testing, and treatment in the wellness world.

Good news? Your gut lining is resilient. With the right support—removing triggers and adding gut-healing herbs and nutrients—it can repair. Just be mindful of who you're trusting and what they’re recommending.

One tool I’ve included in my protocol for 20+ years is this Herbal Gut Healing Infusion:

🌿 Marshmallow root – coats and soothes inflamed tissue
🌿 Ginger – reduces inflammation
🌼 Chamomile – gut anti-inflammatory + nervous system calming
🌼 Calendula – promotes tissue repair
🌿 Licorice root – boosts gut mucin (avoid if pregnant or hypertensive)

(Except for ginger and chamomile, not recommended in pregnancy)

Your gut affects more than digestion—it’s central to your immunity, hormones, energy, and mood. That’s why I cover gut healing extensively in The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution, Hormone Intelligence, and in my Women’s Integrative & Functional Medicine Training Program (open through Sept 23—info on my website).

I’m here to help you sort science from wellness BS.

So what functional medicine or wellness fiction and facts do you want me to spill the tea on?
