Dr. Reynolds unpacks how AGEs contribute to leaky gut, microbiome imbalance, and inflammatory bowel conditions like IBD, while also fueling insulin resistance and systemic inflammation.Backed by cutting-edge research and clear clinical insights, this episode breaks down the molecular mayhem AGEs cause in the gut and offers practical, science-backed solutions—from dietary changes and prebiotics to blood sugar control and antioxidant support. Whether you're navigating digestive issues or simply want to protect your long-term metabolic health, this episode is a must-listen.Paul’s favorite yerba mate: https://ufeelgreat.com/usa/en/c/C63EE3  Paul’s favorite source for clean, earth-sourced essentials such as salt, elecrolytes, hydration, pre-workout and more.
