Gut as Interface
- The gut is the interface between the environment and the human body, where earth meets human.
- Modern diseases, often inflammatory, stem from alterations in the gut microbiome.
Leaky Gut and Inflammation
- Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, is a microscopic process where tight junctions between gut cells loosen.
- This allows environmental triggers to cross the gut barrier, causing systemic inflammation.

- These, along with agrochemicals from farming, attack the gut and contribute to leaky gut.
