In This Episode:
What if your leaky gut and food sensitivities aren’t just about gluten or dairy—but about failing mitochondria inside your gut lining? Leaky gut syndrome can trigger inflammation, immune reactions, and chronic health issues.
Discover the root causes and the key to repairing your gut lining to restore balance and vitality. Don’t miss these essential tips!
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Jockers reveals how mitochondrial dysfunction in the intestinal wall triggers inflammation, disrupts your gut microbiome, and sets off a chain reaction leading to chronic illness. It’s not just about digestion—it’s about energy, immunity, and total-body health.
Why Oxygen Balance in Your Gut Matters
When mitochondria stop working properly, they fail to use oxygen efficiently. Instead, they run on anaerobic glycolysis, even when oxygen is present. This causes oxygen to stay in the gut and not to diffuse into the mitochondria.
That excess oxygen creates the perfect environment for harmful bacteria to thrive and beneficial bacteria to die off which then fuels inflammation and weakens your gut barrier.
The Real Fix: Postbiotics, Fiber Thresholds, and Fasting
Dr. Jockers shares why butyric acid and other postbiotics are essential to restoring gut health. You’ll learn how to tailor your fiber intake, when to fast, and how to create the conditions for healing—without relying on endless supplements.
