Infections and certain drugs can contribute to the development of leaky gut by altering the gut microbiota, increasing inflammation, and disrupting the tight junctions. The primary course of action should be collaborating with your healthcare provider to effectively treat the infection. Post-treatment, it’s advisable to implement a protocol designed to repair the damage caused by […]

Chronic inflammation can negatively impact the pancreas, potentially impairing it’s ability to produce and secrete digestive enzymes. Digestive Enzymes Pancreatic insufficiency occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce and/or secrete enough digestive enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and protease, to properly digest food in the small intestine. This will cause malabsorption of nutrients in […]

Leaky gut is associated with an array of symptoms and health conditions. It’s important to initially consult with your doctor about your symptoms and health issues to exclude other potential diagnoses. With that in mind, let’s delve into some intestinal symptoms that may be linked to leaky gut. Diarrhea / Constipation Leaky gut can disrupt […]

Now let’s discuss the potential systemic symptoms and health conditions associated with leaky gut. It is important to note that these non-digestive signs and symptoms may have many possible explanations. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. […]

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. These diseases can affect one or multiple organs or body systems, and can range from mild to life-threatening. Autoimmune diseases that have been linked with leaky gut include, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Celiac Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Inflammatory […]

Filling out a pre and post assessment questionnaire is an important and often overlooked component of a leaky gut protocol. They are used to accurately evaluate the effectiveness and progress of the treatment. The pre-assessment questionnaire helps establish a baseline of symptoms and overall health status before starting the protocol, providing valuable information about the […]

The diagnosis of leaky gut syndrome can be challenging because many of the symptoms associated with leaky gut, such as fatigue, headaches, and joint pain, are nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of other conditions. This can make it difficult to distinguish between leaky gut and other conditions that may present similar symptoms. […]

This protocol is a comprehensive protocol to repairing a leaky gut and restoring optimal digestive function. Given the complexity of the condition, a multi-mechanism approach is the most effective way to address the many underlying factors that contribute to leaky gut. This approach to leaky gut involves targeting multiple pathways that contribute to gut dysfunction, […]

The first mechanism is call “Avoid and Annihilate”. The goal is to eliminate any factors that may be contributing to gut inflammation and damage. Identifying and eliminating the factors that contribute to leaky gut syndrome is essential for restoring gut health and overall well-being. Step 1: Identify and Remove Food Sensitivities The first step is […]

The Digestive Revival mechanism involves restoring digestive function and providing the body with the necessary nutrients to support gut health. This phase is designed to address nutrient deficiencies and support digestive function. Step 1: Identify Nutrient Deficiencies Before beginning the Digestive Revival phase, it is important to identify any nutrient deficiencies that may be contributing […]
