Have you considered oxygen as being part of YOUR solution for fixing leaky gut? Intestinal permeability (leaky gut) is a major issue, driving up inflammation in the body.    Leaky gut is also at the root of autoimmune conditions (eczema, cirrhosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis – to name a few). It is something that the wellness world is trying to solve from several approaches.   Today's guest is one such member of the natural health and wellness world: health engineer and gut health specialist Steven Wright. Steven has created a wide range of products to keep your gut healthy, all of which can be found on his website, healthygut.com.   Steven has been doing some amazing research on delivering oxygen to our guts to strengthen our intestinal lining and heal up some of the 'tight junctions' that develop over time. He is at the cutting edge of gut health research and his approach to how we consider the entire environment of our gut is one that will resonate with fans of Dr. Jockers and his holistic approach to health.    This episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone dealing with chronic auto-immune conditions. So please take the time to share it with them; you never know when you may save or improve someone's life with a new approach to a health problem they may be struggling with.    This is valuable information that can give you a 'leg up' on your wellness journey. Please join us and leave us a five-star review along the way!   In This Episode:   Introduction to Steven Wright What are some of the biggest mistakes people are making in terms of treating leaky gut? Why we shouldn't only focus on 'tight junction integrity' Understanding immune dysfunction What happens when expensive supplements don't work? Appreciating that different tissues have different needs  Why is oxygen so important? What are HIFs? Is there a way to test your HIF levels? What are some strategies to improve your gut's microbiome diversity? What happens when you replace Butyric Acid as a supplement? Where do stomach acids and enzymes fit in the hierarchy of gut support? How probiotics help with immune system regulation When do you introduce probiotics? What does apple cider vinegar do? When to go in the opposite direction to find your gut solution Unpacking the role of glyphosate (herbicide) on leaky gut syndrome Addressing our overall toxic environment  What is the key to getting Butyric Acid deep into our system? What kind of results is Steven Wright getting with Tributyrin-X?

A lot of people were taught growing up that butter is high in saturated fats and cholesterol and that it will clog up your arteries. Thanks to 21st-century science we know this to be untrue.    And so, today, Dr. Jockers is sharing his top six reasons to use grass-fed butter on a ketogenic diet. As a saturated fat, butter is stable. And so it reduces inflammation in the body, and actually promotes heart health!   So why should your butter come from grass-fed cows? For starters, it's super rich in antioxidants!
