Main Points From Today’s Episode
- Tight junctions in your gut keep food and gut contents where they should be. With leaky gut, tight junctions begin to weaken and allow particles of partly digested food, waste, and toxins to escape into your bloodstream.
- Leaky gut can trigger symptoms like gas and bloating, joint pain, fatigue, headaches and skin problems. Leaky gut has also been shown to be a big trigger for autoimmune disease.
- To heal your gut, start by dropping the foods most likely to cause food intolerance and swapping them for healthy, tasty options. JJ also shares the top supplements that can help, which you can take individually or in one convenient dose of JJ Virgin Leaky Gut Support.
