Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber (Apr 24, 2024) describing how leaky gut damages the intestinal epithelial lining, may trigger autoimmune diseases in genetically predisposed individuals (examples named: Hashimoto's, celiac, lupus, rheumatoid), causes food sensitivities and systemic inflammation, and concluding that systemic inflammation underlies major chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes). The speaker also asserts that long-term use of synthetic hormones is not safe.

So it destroys the lining in your intestines, called your epithelial lining. And if you have leaky gut, that makes you susceptible to turning on autoimmune diseases, if you have the genes for it, like Hashimoto's celiac lupus rheumatoid. And it creates food sensitivities and systemic inflammation in your body. Systemic inflammation is the root cause of, for cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, all of these things. And so synthetic hormones, long term, are really not safe.
