273// Stop Doing Leaky Gut Tests. Do this instead.

When I first got sick in 2015 and started the long journey of trying to heal myself, I was REALLY pre-occupied with the concept of leaky gut. I remember Googling questions like:Is leaky gut real?Did I have it?Was it causing my problems?What supplements, diets, or probiotics could I take to heal my leaky gut naturally? And I can remember wondering, for years, "Can anyone test me for this? Would anyone believe me if I told them I had leaky gut?" It took me almost 5 years to FULLY understand why asking the question "do I have leaky gut" is entirely the wrong question to be asking, and learning what question I SHOULD be asking instead to heal both myself and my clients.  That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down all things leaky gut, including topics like:Is leaky gut real?Leaky gut symptomsMost common leaky gut tests (and if you they're worth your money) My 3 second leaky gut self-testWhy you should STOP testing for leaky gut - now!What you should be focusing on instead (the real causes of leaky gut)My personal, best leaky gut treatmentWhy leaky gut probiotics, a leaky gut diet, or leaky gut supplements can't heal your leaky gutRealistic timelines to heal leaky gut (why you can't heal leaky gut in 2 weeks) If you've found yourself in a leaky gut loophole on the internet and you want real leaky gut remedies, then this episode is for you.  TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: My Journey with Leaky Gut 00:50 - Today's Episode Overview 01:47 Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 03:10 - Is Leaky Gut Real? 03:56 - Understanding Leaky Gut and Its Symptoms 04:57 - The Science Behind Leaky Gut 06:06 - Symptoms and Misconceptions of Leaky Gut 12:30 - Why Testing for Leaky Gut is Not Enough 16:29 - Effective Testing and Treatment Approaches 17:58 - The Five Toxin Trap 28:37 - Conclusion: Focus on Root Causes  EPISODES MENTIONED:47// The Gut-Sinus Connection45// The Gut-Skin Connection: Is your gut flaring up your skin?254// The Gut-Brain Axis: Why Healing Your Nervous System Isn’t Working26// Is your period out of whack?! 3 Pathways that Link Gut Health to Hormonal Health – with Sophie Shepherd FDN-P267// The Best Food Sensitivity Test for You, with Vibrant Wellness HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works?
