822 - A Simple & Effective Leaky Gut Repair Protocol

In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response.  When the immune response is heightened, there’s a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue.  This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.    Featured Studies  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S221295881730160X#:~:text=Results,and%2017%E2%80%9365%25%20respectively. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37168869/    Featured Products:  Lacto-bifido Probiotic Blend: https://store.drruscio.com/products/lacto-bifido-probiotic-blend   Soil-Based Probiotic: https://store.drruscio.com/products/soil-based-probiotic   Other Sources Symptoms of leaky gut: https://drruscio.com/symptoms-of-leaky-gut/  Should you get a leaky gut test?: https://drruscio.com/leaky-gut-syndrome-test/  Leaky gut diet plan: https://drruscio.com/leaky-gut-diet-plan/  How to use probiotics for leaky gut: https://drruscio.com/probiotics-for-leaky-gut/   Continue Learning Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  00:55 What is leaky gut? 03:16 How prevalent IS leaky gut? 04:10 Factors that increase risk 05:58 Symptoms aren’t just digestive 06:39 Can probiotics help leaky gut? 09:35 An important finding 10:57 What’s the best protocol? 13:18 Probiotic formulas 15:37 You don’t have to keep testing   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
