WHAT IS LEAKY GUT?
Leaky gut syndrome, also known as intestinal permeability, occurs when the lining of your gut becomes damaged. This damage allows toxins, food particles, and microbes to leak into your bloodstream, potentially leading to inflammation and immune issues. In the field of functional medicine, addressing gut health is crucial, as it can trigger a cascade of symptoms throughout your body.
COMMON SIGNS OF LEAKY GUT
Chronic bloating or gas can be signs of underlying issues related to gut health, while constipation or diarrhea may indicate a disruption in your digestive system, potentially linked to leaky gut syndrome. Additionally, symptoms like brain fog or trouble concentrating may arise from nutrient deficiencies often overlooked in functional medicine. Food sensitivities or allergies, skin issues like eczema or acne, and autoimmune conditions can also be connected to gut imbalances. Joint pain or inflammation, mood swings, anxiety, or depression, as well as fatigue and burnout, further highlight the importance of addressing these symptoms through a holistic approach in functional medicine.
OUR ROOT-CAUSE APPROACH
We don’t just cover up the symptoms of health issues — we look for the underlying causes through a functional medicine approach.
