Dr. Anna Toker Breaks Down Leaky Gut.. and What is Zonulin?

Mark and Colorectal Surgeon, Dr. Anna Toker, break down Leaky Gut! We are going to also take a look at something called Zonulin, that many people have never heard of. What is Zonulin? Tune into this full episode to find out. What is leaky gut syndrome (increased intestinal permeability)? It's a condition where the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and other harmful substances to leak into the bloodstream. Normally, the lining of the intestines acts as a barrier, controlling what gets absorbed into the bloodstream. However, when this barrier becomes compromised, it can lead to various health problems and inflammation throughout the body. Leaky gut syndrome is still a topic of debate within the medical community, as its exact causes and effects are not fully understood. Some potential causes include chronic inflammation, stress, certain medications (like NSAIDs), excessive alcohol consumption, and a poor diet high in processed foods and sugars. Symptoms of leaky gut can vary widely and may include digestive issues like bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation, as well as fatigue, headaches, joint pain, skin problems, and food sensitivities. Treatment for leaky gut typically involves addressing underlying causes, such as improving diet, reducing stress, and possibly taking supplements or medications to support gut health. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, as leaky gut syndrome can mimic other conditions and may require a personalized approach.
