• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: So if you haven't listened to the first four episodes, I believe there's four out right now.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I hear like I talk about all of my, you know, my journey in the first episode.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: We talk about cravings in another one.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: I also had Freedom Rage on to talk abundance stuff.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: So go back and have a listen to those if you missed it.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: And before we jump into today's episode, I did want to mention that Wellnourished is open for enrollment, and I am so excited because this round is going to be like super epic.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: It is the last one for 2020, so it's going to really be a good round.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: We're diving deep.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: We're doing an intensive immersion program this time where we're gonna anchor in and embody how to live a healthy life, but also make it, you know, delicious and satisfying so that your body gets the proper nourishment that it needs and it's no longer, you know, overhauling your life.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: You're not coming home hangry, yelling at your partner, you're not crying in the mirror like I used to because you're so frustrated all the time that you're, you know, you're bloated and you're not seeing results and you all that kind of stuff, right?
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: So when you learn to give the body the proper nourishment it needs, it basically just allows you to feel amazing and it naturally like you get that dream version of you.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like that dream version of you just becomes you, it becomes your your way of life, right?

  SPEAKER_00: So don't miss out because I don't want you to have to wait until next year to heal your body and feel better.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna leave a link in the show notes or DM me on Instagram if you have any questions.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, we're gonna get into today's episode, which is all about leaky gut.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're diving into what is leaky gut, symptoms of leaky gut, how does one get leaky gut, or like what contributes to leaky gut, what to do if you have leaky gut, and all of that stuff.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: So let's go ahead and dive in.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Live Well Podcast.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: This podcast is designed to help you live well, body, mind, and soul.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Liv, a natural health and wellness expert, and each week you will walk away with the insights, tools, and tips to truly live your best life.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you are looking to live well, you are in the right place.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: A new episode starts now.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: So today we are talking all about leaky gut, and unfortunately, leaky gut has become more and more common.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see why in the episode, but it can be so detrimental to so many different areas of our life.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to get into all of that good stuff.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: But first of all, what is leaky gut?
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I know a lot of you have probably heard the term thrown around before, and leaky gut refers to the intestinal lining or our enterocytes in our gut becoming quote unquote leaky.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: So we have what's called tight junctions in our intestinal lining.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: So literally picture, you know, all the enterocytes, little buddies all shoulder to shoulder, kind of lined up that line your intestine and line your gut.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: And they have tight junctions, which normally keep them varied together, keeps them very strong so that nothing can get in.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: The way I like to think about this is kind of like Red Rover, right?
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: When you were little, you know, you would have your arms linked with your friends, whatever, so that nothing else could get in.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of like the enterocytes in your gut.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: They form these tight junctions so that nothing can seep through and it kind of protects you.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now there is something called zonulin, and zonulin actually determines whether these tight junctions, which are like the gates of our intestinal cells basically, are open or closed.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: And we want them to be closed, right?
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because we don't want to let in all of that junk, all of that garbage, or in the Red Rover case, let you know someone break through.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: So when zonulin is released, it causes a reorganization of these tight junctions in a way that makes them super permeable.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: Now the problem is that it makes it super permeable to a bunch of different things.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: That includes pathogens, bacteria, undigested food proteins, and toxins.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: And this then enters systemic circulation and further causes inflammation.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And if you haven't heard me say before, inflammation is like killer.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: It is like the root of a lot of different things, it's the issue of a lot of different things.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: We do not want, you know, systemic inflammation.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So when the zonnulin is released, it causes these leaky junctions to separate, it gets permeable, and that's kind of like the the very what you need to know about zonnulin.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: So, what are some of the symptoms of leaky gut?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because I find this happens so often are people like, well, I don't have digestive symptoms.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: And while, yes, leaky gut can have digestive symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, um, you can be either or to be honest, there's also so many more symptoms of leaky gut that aren't directly tied to gut symptoms.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: So that's things like brain fog, headaches, migraines, acne, eczema, psoriasis, chronic fatigue, joint pain, depression, anxiety, thyroid issues, IBS, IBD, MS, asthma, diabetes, uh, I think I may have said that.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Not um weight gain.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: As you guys can see, like I think I just named like almost 20 different things, and there's honestly so much more, even things like autism, ADHD, um, neuropathic disorders.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Those are some of the more like sp like specialized ones.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: But as you can probably, of all the things that I listed, I guarantee you probably have at least one or more of the symptoms I just said.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: So those are some of the symptoms that can happen with leaky gut.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're experiencing any of these, chances are your gut is at least somewhat leaky.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: And we're gonna get into how you get leaky gut, and after I explain it, you'll I assume probably most of you are having some degree of leaky gut currently.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: So what increases that zonulin that makes the gut leaky, right?
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because the zonulin is what breaks apart those tight junctions, it's what makes your enterocytes leaky.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: One of the major, major causes is gluten.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, you guys have heard me, that's why all my recipes are gluten-free.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Gluten has a protein called gliadin, which causes the zonnulin to increase in all individuals.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you guys watched my IGTV on this, um, you already know, but we're gonna get more into the nitty-gritty on this episode.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: But gluten is damaging to all individuals, and that's very, very important to understand because previously it was thought that gluten was only damaging to those who were celiac and then a lesser extent to those who were quote unquote gluten intolerant.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: But spoiler alert, the whole world has the same gluten-intolerant mechanism that you know people with quote-unquote gluten intolerance have.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: This way that gluten reacts in your body is the same throughout all individuals, right?
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: We all have the same, when you get down to it, the same basic biochemistry, it's just physiology, right?
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is what happens to your cells.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: So it's important to remember it's not just celiac, it is literally every single person.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: So time and time again, it's been shown in studies.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: If you head to the IGTV, I think I listed about 15 different studies that if you guys want to go read the research on, definitely head over to that.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's on my Instagram, so head over there.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: So basically, you eat the gluten, zonulin levels rise, and then that tight junction seal, baby, like just gets eliminated.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Like it gets separated, and then the security guard is kind of like out to lunch, basically, because you depressed it by having all of this like gluten.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: So the particles get in, this also triggers the immune system that is right beside your GI tract called the gult or gut-associated limboid tissue.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: So not only does it you know disrupt the leaky gut, but it also you know triggers the immune system.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: And because the immune system thinks that there are these foreign invaders, right?
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Because remember, the junctions got leaky, these foreign things are getting in, it activates the immune system or your gult, and now there's these foreign invaders that your immune system wants to mount a war against.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: And this is where autoimmune disease comes in, right?
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because autoimmune disease is again your body attacking itself.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Why is this getting triggered?
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's getting triggered because of immune activations like that of leaky gut.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: So your immune system launches a war.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: One of the things that attacks are these food particles, which is one of the reasons you can get food sensitivities.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: In addition, the immune activation actually leads to more damage to intestinal cells, and the gut gets more inflamed and more permeable.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: And as this damage continues to happen, not only that, but those little microvilli, which are basically the things that absorb nutrients, get damaged, which leads to nutrient deficiencies.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: So we have the tight junctions getting separated.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: We have not only food particles getting in, triggering an immune response, triggering, you know, food sensitivities, but we have pathogens getting in, toxins getting in, all of that stuff that is supposed to stay inside your digestive system so that when we have a bowel movement, we pass that out, is now leaking into your system.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like, think about that.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's just all that damage.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: And then we have the microvilli, which are getting damaged, which means you are not actually absorbing all of the nutrients from your food, which is another problem because then you might think that, you know, okay, 80% of the time I'm eating healthy and I'm not eating the gluten or whatever it is, but then your body is not even able to absorb all of the nutrients that you're eating.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: So we can kind of see how it gets into one whole like vicious cycle, basically.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: So what we need to do is we need to obviously like avoid these tight junctions getting separated.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now that was like one of the things.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: So gluten is one of the things that triggers, you know, the permeability.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Another thing is gut bacteria in the small intestine.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: So this is an overgrowth of harmful organisms like bacteria or yeast, and this can be compounded by the fact that it's already leaky, so it's gonna make it worse.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: Moreover, this dysbiosis actually allows toxins called lipopolysaccharides or LPS into the blood, and this triggers, again, more systemic inflammation.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: You guys can kind of see a pattern here and kind of a vicious cycle that keeps going round and round.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: Now, another thing is that these toxins or these LPS also reduces pancreatic enzymes and gastric acid activity, which leads to more digestive symptoms, meaning you're not digesting it properly, you're not, you know, you're getting bloated and cramping because your gastric acid activity is reduced, you're also not absorbing the food, you're not breaking down, you know, because your pancreas secretes bile and secretes other enzymes that help to digest your food.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: So you're getting even more symptoms, and then we kind of see how it's going, you know, round and round the circle.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: And so we have the gluten, we have the dysbiosis for things like, you know, the bad guys' bacteria and the yeast, and then we have another dietary influence that really influences the permeability of the gut, and that is fructose.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: So think of things like high fructose corn syrup, but also keep in mind that fructose can be high in lots of natural foods.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: So, what happens is the fructose, if there's too much fructose, actually damages the liver directly by causing blood levels of LPS, which were the lipopolysaccharides we talked about, to increase.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so when this happens, it basically causes like fatty liver and the inflammation of your liver as well as hepatic insulin resistance.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you watch my content before, um I've talked about insulin resistance a lot.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: This is hepatic insulin resistance, so it's slightly different.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so this is also why high fructose leads to weight gain, right?
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: Because of the insulin resistance, but also the conversion to fatty acids.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: And this is also why some, you know, quote unquote healthy people get non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: So you can have, you know, seemingly people who don't drink alcohol, for example, getting fatty liver disease, and it ends up being because of all this fructose.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: So we have, again, to sum up, so far we have the fructose.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: We have the dysbiosis, we have from the bag of bacteria, we have the gluten, and then we also have the fact that all of these things are, you know, are triggering intestinal permeability, but it also increases CRP, which is C reactive protein, and that is an inflammatory marker in your blood, and it's a marker for systemic inflammation.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: So it is a nonspecific marker of inflammation, which basically means um it doesn't tell you exactly where the inflammation is coming from.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: It just tells you that hey, there is an abnormal level of inflammation going on in the body.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the important thing to know, yes, CRP is horrible and is tied to you know inflammatory diseases, but it also increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: The blood-brain barrier is that thing between your brain and your blood.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: If that becomes more permeable, basically, stuff you don't want is like getting into your brain, which can lead to inflammation of the hypothalamus.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: And how I'm gonna tie this back to diet because I know a lot of you guys are concerned about this in diet, is that this area of the brain is actually what has control of food intake, leptin resistance, and more.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: And like leptin and ghrelin are your hunger hormones and your sachetary hormones or the hormones that make you feel full.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: If those are messed up, this can make you more hungry or not feel as full as quick, but not in a way where your body actually needs food.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's false, right?
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's triggering that, but it's not actually what your body needs.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: So your gut is permeable, it triggers you to want to eat more.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: It normally triggers things you don't want to eat more of the bad things like the sugar and the gluten and makes you not feel full, and then your brain gets leaky, and then we can see how it tied back to all of those symptoms I mentioned before, right?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: So this is where you know it comes in in terms of you know mental health, so depression, anxiety, because 70% of the serotonin is made in your gut.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: Well, actually, over 70%.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: So then you know, your gut is leaky, your brain is leaky.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: We see how this gets tied to, you know, mental health, we saw how it's tied to you know abdominal symptoms, how this can be tied to headaches and migraines because of this systemic inflammation, how this is tied to brain fog because your gut is leaky, which is also triggering your brain to be leaky, and then we have all the different things that are contributing it to it, right?
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so, how long, you know, do the effects last?
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: So let's say we're having, you know, the gluten, we're eating lots of fructose, all this kinds of stuff.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: So one bite of gluten, according to studies, can have effects from anywhere from five days to six months.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: So it really depends on the person and also depends on the dose.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: However, that being said, there are some people who can have one bite and have effects for six months and like vice versa, right?
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: So it also depends on, you know, a whole host of other factors of their health.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's why there's such a wide range, right?
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: Because it depends on how are your stress levels, how are you taking care of, you know, everything else.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: Are you supplementing but also eating those things?
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: So it like kind of helps, but not totally.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why there's a large variance.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: But the fact that like one bite of gluten can have effects for up to six months is absolutely crazy.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Like, imagine six months of brain fog for one bite of a cookie.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's absolutely crazy.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: So it's also important to keep in mind that like if you this is something that you're eating every single day, you know, you're having bread, gluten, like gluten-filled bread at breakfast, and then you're having some, you know, pasta at lunch, and then at dinner you're getting takeout pizza.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: Think about like more gluten and more gluten, so your gut gets more leaky and more leaky, and then how can you expect to heal your gut if you're constantly doing the thing that is making it more leaky?
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: And it also means that whatever you are going to do for your gut is not going to be as effective because you're still putting the thing that's damaging on to your gut.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: So that's also why there's a whole module on you know gut health in well-nourished.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: We kind of like dive deep and I give you really nitty gritty deep stuff for gut health, but also how you eat in well-nourished basically will help heal your leaky gut, and then the gut health module goes into in-depth because gut health is literally tied to so many things.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you have poor gut health, this also makes you, you know, gain more weight.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: So it can make it a struggle to lose weight.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: So if your gut is leaky and you think you're doing, you know, quote unquote, all the right things, if you don't repair the gut as well as start eating right, you're gonna have, you know, issues because it needs to still repair all of the damage that was done.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: That's why it's so, so important to take care of your gut health so that you don't trigger all of those other symptoms that we talked about.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, in order to heal leaky gut, like I said, you definitely need to eliminate all the things that I talked about that are causing it.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: So you need to eliminate the gluten 100%.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: You need to solve the dysbiosis.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: So whether you know it's SIBO for you or whether it's candida, you need to solve the SIBO, you need to get over the candida, so that's not also contributing.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: You also need to avoid things like, you know, high fructose corn syrup.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: And actually, fun fact because I this came up recently and I forgot that a lot of people don't know this.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: Agave is like the same as high fructose corn syrup.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know who does the marketing for agave, uh, who like started that agave is actually healthy for you.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: It is the same as high fructose corn syrup.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: So if things are sweetened from agave, just remember that's the same as high fructose corn syrup.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: Also, you know, those syrups that are not like maple syrups, like the Ant Jimima, that's high fructose corn syrup.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: So um also be sure to look at for things that are like high in fructose that you may not, you know, be aware of.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, we want to like decrease inflammation overall.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: So every time you eat, right, you basically are telling your body to either program it for health or program it for disease.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: So you really need to nourish your body in a way that is going to, you know, make it thrive and heal it and heal your gut and give it the things that are going to do damage to it.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, another thing that damages and contributes to leaky gut are vegetable oils.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: So these are your canola oils, your sunflower oils, basically your seed oils that are highly oxidized.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the problems with this is that these are pro-inflammatory oils, right?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: And as we just saw, they're causing the leaky junctions because they're pro-inflammatory, but they also have other things in them that once your gut is leaky, now we're absorbing them.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: So they contain things like BHT, which have, you know, carcinogenic effects.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: They also decrease your antioxidant production.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: So once, you know, your gut is leaky, we're also now producing less antioxidants, so you're, you know, your body's not able to fight them.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're also, you know, making it leaky and then absorbing the pesticides that are in these oils because these oils are full, full of pesticides.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's why they're in so many of the foods, is because they are very cheap.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're cheap oils.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: They're hard on the body, they contain the pesticides, and then your gut is leaky and you are absorbing all of these.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: And not only that, but you know, I can do a whole episode.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'll do like a whole little mini episode on vegetable oils, because honestly, they're they're one of the top three things I would say to, as the Grinch would say, avoid with a 39 and a half foot pole.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: That would be vegetable oils.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: I think vegetable oils would be number two.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: Gluten's number one, vegetable oils would be number two.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people aren't aware of things like your oat milk.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: I would say 90% of the oat milks that I've seen actually have canola oil in them, otherwise known as rapeseed oil.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: They're getting clever, guys.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: The the people who make your products are greenwashing you to put things like rapeseed oil, which in the name already sounds like rapeseed oil.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: That doesn't sound like a positive oil.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: Guys, stay away from it.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: But that's like in things like oat milk.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: So people, you know, are making their oat milk lattes and drinking, you know, the canola oil and not realizing that you know it's damaging to your gut.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it's hidden in so so many quote unquote healthy foods, actually, those oils.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: So it's really important to focus on nourishing your body with really good things for you.
• 21:03
