will be a good idea if I dedicated this month's newsletters to gut health. Let's start by defining leaky gut. Leaky gut is the result of a lack of intestinal enzymes that are necessary for digestion. Without the right enzymes to break down food, the body cannot absorb the nutrients needed to thrive. This can lead to hormone imbalances and a weakened immune system. Additionally, larger particles not normally absorbed may ‘leak’ out of the intestines into the bloodstream. The result is an autoimmune reaction, which can lead to gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal bloating, excessive gas and cramps, fatigue, food sensitivities, joint pain, skin rashes, and autoimmunity. Causes vary and may include chronic inflammation, poorly managed food sensitivities, damage from taking large amounts of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), cytotoxic drugs and radiation, certain antibiotics, alcohol consumption, or compromised immunity. I hope the next few emails can help you get to the bottom of your symptoms and start treating the cause at the root! Remember, “All Disease Begins in The Gut.” -Hippocrates Happy Monday! oh, before I forget, for those that are interested, I ONLY have 11 full-spectrum CBD creams left. They are going fast, order them now before I run out. Toni
