Summary: Healing from daily toxicity begins in the gut.All the toxins you're exposed to on a daily basis can contribute to cancer and other diseases. Healing from that toxicity begins in the gut. Your body contains billions of bacteria, both bad and good. When your body is in balance, these flora exist peacefully within you. When your good "bugs" become deficient and the bad take over, that's when disease can grab hold. One specific condition that can result in a number of health issues, including digestive distress, rashes, joint pain and other inflammatory responses, is leaky gut. This condition results from recurring damage to the gut lining, causing tiny holes in your intestines and allowing particles to enter your blood stream, which wreaks havoc on your immune system. In her practice, Dr. Tiffany Jackson uses a very natural approach to addressing leaky gut and other health conditions, using compounds like enzymes, hydrochloric acid, probiotics, liver support supplements and amino acids. While some doctors are aggressive with treatment, Dr. Jackson is more conservative and utilizes a 12-week plan to identify which foods are contributing to gut issues (wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, and corn are often problem foods). She doesn't introduce a detox until between weeks 6-12. Listen in as Dr. Jackson joins Dr. Taz to explain what leaky gut is, why it's so important to address for whole-body health, and ways you can start to balance your gut for health and longevity.
