What Even Is Leaky Gut? #shorts

Think about your gut lining as a coffee filter. It lets in the right stuff and keeps out the bad stuff. It's like imagine if your coffee filter had holes. There'd be coffee grounds in your coffee. Not a good thing. You get bacterial toxins, viruses, food proteins leaking through the immune system goes crazy. And that creates all these downstream problems. It may show up as food sensitivities. It may show up as inflammation that leads to obesity or diabetes. But essentially, it's all driving inflammation. What causes a leaky gut? Well, first, our diet. Our diet just sucks. Gluten is a big one. Also, if you have imbalanced gu. Gut flora, bad bacteria, you have yeast overgrowth, bad bacterial overgrowth, that can also really cause a problem, even stress. And the other thing that's really bad is high fructose corn syrup. So why is high fructose corn syrup bad? It takes a lot of energy to absorb fructose, and it basically depletes ATP, or the energy source. In our gut, those tight junctions get weak, and you end up getting a leaky gut. So literally, fructose can punch holes in the gut. If you're having a lot of high fructose corn syrup.
