273// Stop Doing Leaky Gut Tests. Do this instead.

When I first got sick in 2015 and started the long journey of trying to heal myself, I was REALLY pre-occupied with the concept of leaky gut.

I remember Googling questions like:

• Is leaky gut real?
• Did I have it?
• Was it causing my problems?
• What supplements, diets, or probiotics could I take to heal my leaky gut naturally?

And I can remember wondering, for years, "Can anyone test me for this? Would anyone believe me if I told them I had leaky gut?"

It took me almost 5 years to FULLY understand why asking the question "do I have leaky gut" is entirely the wrong question to be asking, and learning what question I SHOULD be asking instead to heal both myself and my clients.

That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down all things leaky gut, including topics like:

• Is leaky gut real?
• Leaky gut symptoms
• Most common leaky gut tests (and if you they're worth your money)
• My 3 second leaky gut self-test
• Why you should STOP testing for leaky gut - now!
• What you should be focusing on instead (the real causes of leaky gut)
• My personal, best leaky gut treatment
• Why leaky gut probiotics, a leaky gut diet, or leaky gut supplements can't heal your leaky gut
• Realistic timelines to heal leaky gut (why you can't heal leaky gut in 2 weeks)

If you've found yourself in a leaky gut loophole on the internet and you want real leaky gut remedies, then this episode is for you.
