While the medical community does not recognize a leaky gut as a major contributing factor to all sorts 
of health issues, there is a growing body of science showing how a leaky gut, or what is called intestinal permeability, is wreaking havoc on people’s health.
This health concern is not new.
In fact, Hippocrates recognized it when he stated,
“All Disease Begins In The Gut.”
Ideally, your intestine is designed to be a very selective barrier to everything you consume. It does this by creating what are known as “tight junctions.” As you can see in the below image created by Dr. Vincent Pedre for Happy Gut, these tight junctions are loosened so that undigested food particles, toxins, and pathogens can enter your blood stream.
