Episode 83: Is Leaky Gut a Real Thing?

As a natural health practitioner, there are certain things we know to be true. Just because something doesn't tick a medical box (and has an equivalent pharmaceutical waiting to be prescribed) doesn't mean it's not real. If you've ever been told that everything is "normal" and yet you have ongoing unexplained symptoms, it could well be something that is commonly seen and successfully managed by a nutritionist or naturopath. Leaky gut is just one of these conditions and today we are joined on The Hormone Hub by Prajakta Apte, a Registered Dietitian, Yoga teacher and a gut health expert. She practises functional medicine and Ayurvedic practices, an ancient medical system originating over 5000 years ago in India. Prajakta is a firm believer that Good Health starts in your gut and a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle practices can help a person connect their mind and body.
