In this episode of Zen and Tonic: Wellness Unfiltered, we’re zeroing in on one of the most misunderstood yet widespread root causes of chronic health issues: leaky gut (aka intestinal permeability).

We break down what leaky gut actually is, why it’s become so common, and how it contributes to symptoms like bloating, food sensitivities, fatigue, acne, autoimmunity, and brain fog. You'll learn how the gut lining functions as your body's protective barrier — and what happens when that barrier breaks down.

We also share natural tools to start healing, including gut-loving staples like ghee, bone broth, glutamine, and butyrate, plus the biggest foods and habits that could be harming your gut lining without you even realizing it.

If you’ve been feeling "off" with no clear answers, this episode will help you connect the dots and begin your gut-healing journey with clarity and confidence.
