What actually is “leaky gut”?
It’s another term for increased gut permeability. When the tight junctions in your gut lining loosen, letting things through that shouldn’t.
Stress, ultra-processed foods, and even over-exercising can all play a role.
Research shows that lowering zonulin (the protein that opens those gates) can help strengthen the gut barrier, which means less bloating, fewer flare-ups, and better nutrient absorption.
