Five R's framework used by gut-healing plans

"Leaky Gut"—or more accurately increased intestinal permeability—has become a buzzword in the world of gut health. It's often blamed for everything from bloating and fatigue to autoimmune diseases and food sensitivities. Social media is full of gut-healing advice and restrictive plans like the AIP and GAPS diets, which claim to ‘heal’ the gut lining and reverse chronic illness. But how much of this is supported by real evidence? And what do we actually know about intestinal permeability in humans? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we cut through the confusion and break down the science of “leaky gut”.
