An Unhappy Gut: Understanding Gut Inflammation

An unhealthy gut lining allows bacteria, toxins, and partially digested food to make its way out of your gut and into your body to wreak havoc. This can lead to imbalanced levels of inflammation in the gut, a disruption of normal microbiome balance, and can contribute to food sensitivities. In this episode of the Thorne podcast, we breakdown what causes an unhappy gut and what you can do about it.
