Why the gut matters everywhere else
70% of your immune system lives around the gut. When the barrier leaks, the immune system stays activated — fueling skin issues, joint pain, brain fog, mood swings, and autoimmune flares.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
+What is leaky gut?
Increased intestinal permeability — when the tight junctions in your gut lining loosen and let food particles, toxins, and bacteria into the bloodstream. It's linked to autoimmunity, food sensitivities, skin issues, brain fog, and chronic inflammation.
+What are the symptoms?
Bloating, gas, food sensitivities, eczema, acne, joint pain, brain fog, fatigue, autoimmune flares, anxiety, and reactions to foods that 'never used to bother you.'
+How do you test and treat it?
Stool testing (GI-MAP), food sensitivity panels, and zonulin markers — then a 4R protocol (remove, replace, reinoculate, repair) personalized to your labs and symptoms.
