"Leaky Gut" aka Intestinal hyperpermeability is a break down of our intestinal linings natural ability to provide a semi-permeable immune competent barrier between what we eat, drink, and are exposed to from our environment (bacterial, viruses, parasites, pathogens) and the area outside of our intestinal tubing system.
In the Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Dummies book I wrote with Molly Rossiter we have pretty pictures of what this looks likes and the myriad of things- stressors, nutrient deficiencies, food allergies, sensitivities, intolerances, crappy food, toxins, pathogens.........that increase our risk of leaky gut syndrome and how to eat to decrease inflammation.

It's important to take our gut seriously since it is an essential part of our immune system, makes most of our body's mood stabilizing serotonin, and is essential for nutrient absorption for our food and soooo much more ....
In this brilliant scientific article the link between leaky gut and inflammation, cancer, Gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune disorders and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and dementia is explained and proven.
Furthermore, Naturopathic principles, advanced testing and therapeutics (diet, supplements, stress modulation) are highlighted as solutions to this underlying pathological problem.

"The optimised use of defined probiotic strains, microbial metabolites, and dietary supplements is anticipated to facilitate the tight control of intestinal barrier function. These approaches are expected to have applications beyond the treatment of intestinal disorders, with potential for use in the management of other chronic inflammatory or degenerative conditions outside the gastrointestinal tract."

we do functional medicine testing for "leaky gut" and provide personalized recommendations for probiotics, diet, supplements and holistic therapeutics to help you heal and create a new trajectory for your future wellbeing.

Are you playing naturopathic doctor by choosing your own supplements without knowing what to really get and what’s safe and effective for you?

When I went to medical school that specializes in Naturopathic medicine and graduated over 25 years ago, nutritional supplements were something that people didn’t know much about -now that they have exploded on the marketing scene - Everyone is pretending to be an expert, private labeling, and wasting a lot of your time and money on things they don’t know about.
If you have a problem with your electrical system call an electrician and the same way if you wanna know what nutritional supplements to take, make an appointment with a naturopathic physician or integrated physician that is trained in nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, and a holistic approach to healing. It can take me hours to find out what multivitamin is right for my patient because I check interactions look at their labs to see what amounts of vitamin D, and nutrients are needed for them and their personalized condition.
I also have been working with nutritional supplement companies I trust and have seen their manufacturing facilities for over 25 years - this is another thing that people miss on the Internet. Do you really know where your supplements are coming from? Do you know who owns that company and what their integrity is? Do you know what’s in that capsule? Do you know if it interacts with the medication you’re on? Do you know what forms of the supplement are best for you? Do you know the difference between a methylated or a hydroxide form of a nutrient ? You actually don’t know what’s in there unless you know the company … that’s another thing naturopathic doctors bring to the table

Here are the FDA standards of nutritional supplements:

🤔The FDA does NOT have the authority to approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness, or to approve their labeling, BEFORE the supplements are sold to the public.
(They are supposed to check but many pop-ups like the one you probably just bought from or are being marketed to you on the Internet don’t care and we’ll be gone by the time you spend thousands of dollars on their crappy products that promise more than they deliver )
🤔Under the FD&C Act, it is the responsibility of dietary supplement companies to ensure their products meet the safety standards for dietary supplements and are not otherwise in violation of the law.
(See above)

Don’t be fooled by the hype or Marketing if you really want to start taking supplements make an appointment at Artemis Wellness Center for a comprehensive or nutritional supplement consult or with an ND to find out what’s right for you if you don’t you’re just playing Russian roulette with your time and money and being pulled into a lot of marketing that’s mostly BS.

The best plan is a personalized plan with our Naturopathic Physicians that are the only general practice trained physicians that learn about nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, extensive clinical nutrition and a holistic approach to health.
