When the immune system loses tolerance to everyday exposures, like foods, it triggers inflammation and escalates reactivity.
The body's essential barriers are the first line of defense of the immune system. The intestinal barrier absorbs critical nutrients from the food we eat and prevents ingested pathogens from invading the body. The blood-brain barrier protects the brain and nervous system from harmful elements in the bloodstream—like viruses or bacteria.
If you are experiencing:
Bloating and Gas – Excess fermentation or poor digestion can lead to abdominal swelling and discomfort.
Diarrhea or Constipation– Irregular bowel movements often signal gut inflammation, dysbiosis, or food triggers.
Abdominal Pain or Cramping – Often caused by IBS, SIBO, or food sensitivities irritating the GI tract.
Fatigue – Chronic tiredness linked to poor nutrient absorption or immune responses from food sensitivities.
Brain Fog – Difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, or mental fatigue due to systemic inflammation or food reactivity.
Skin Issues (Acne, Eczema, Rashes) – The gut-skin connection often shows imbalances or food triggers through skin flare-ups.
Headaches or Migraines – Can result from inflammatory food responses or gut-brain axis disruption.
Joint Pain or Stiffness – Food sensitivities and leaky gut can cause immune-mediated inflammation in joints.
Nausea or Reflux – Common with food intolerances, GERD, or imbalances in stomach acid and enzymes.
Mood Changes (Anxiety, Depression, Irritability) – The gut-brain axis can influence emotional regulation when gut health is impaired.
