Episode notes
Inflammation Originates in Leaky Gut
- Inflammation is a widespread immune overreaction caused by bacteria leaking through a compromised gut barrier.
- This systemic inflammation alerts and arms the whole body, fueling chronic disease processes.
Use Vitamin D3 to Heal Gut
- Raise your vitamin D3 and K2 levels aggressively to reduce immune overactivity and promote gut lining repair.
- Vitamin D wakes gut stem cells to heal intestinal permeability and calms autoimmune-related inflammation.
Mitochondrial Damage Fuels Inflammation
- Mitochondria are ancient bacteria living inside our cells producing energy but can trigger immune responses if damaged.
- Damaged mitochondria released into circulation mimic infections, provoking systemic inflammation.
