As promised: Part 2 is here, with microbiologist @kiranbiome and it is a deep dive into the mechanism for “leakiness” of our body’s barrier functions. He took my nightclub bouncer and ran with it and I think you’ll find more empowerment when it comes to understanding and working with issues related to:

Leaky Gut
Leaky Skin
Leaky Brain

…as we explore:

Why does it happen?
What’s going on with these issues?
Why treating the symptoms is not the best way forward and how can we build healthier barriers and immune responses?
