Functional Medicine and Leaky Gut

STOP LEAKY GUT! ⁠

Leaky Gut isn’t 'just' a gut problem. It is a disorders that may cause dysfunction and disease in parts of your body that you might not intuitively link with your gut.⁠

Once leaky gut happens, pathogens and toxins in your gut enter your bloodstream.

There are many things that can trigger leaky gut such as: ⁠

-Chronic use of certain medications ⁠

-Anything that causes inflammation; from a gastrointestinal (GI) infection (e.g. parasites), to poor digestion, poor nutrition habits or chronic stress.⁠

-Food allergies or food intolerances. ⁠

-Gluten-containing foods.⁠

When you have leaky gut syndrome, not only are toxins and pathogens able to 'leak' into your body but your body is not able to absorb the nutrients it needs.⁠

Using a Functional Medicine approach to heal leaky gut, Dr. Scott Jacobson will determine food intolerances, removing them from your diet, followed by cleansing the intestinal tract and bringing your gut health and immune system back into balance. ⁠
