- Endotoxin, a toxic molecule released by bacteria in your gut, enters your bloodstream and directly triggers blood clot formation — even in people with no signs of infection or heart disease
- Researchers have shown that certain bacterial types, such as E. coli, are especially effective at setting off your body's clotting response, mimicking what happens during sepsis and other life-threatening events
- Everyday habits that weaken your gut barrier — including eating seed oils, ultraprocessed foods, and alcohol, or living under chronic stress — make endotoxin exposure common, keeping your blood in a "primed" state to clot
- Chronic, low-grade exposure to bacterial toxins links gut health to cardiovascular problems, explaining why heart attacks, strokes, and clotting disorders often strike people who appear healthy
- Supporting your gut with easy-to-digest foods, antioxidants like niacinamide and vitamin E, and natural binders such as raw carrot salad or activated charcoal helps neutralize endotoxin and keep your blood flowing freely
