In this episode, Dr. David Jockers reveals how common pain relievers like NSAIDs can damage your gut, leading to leaky gut and inflammation. He shares the science behind how these meds worsen long-term gut health.

 

Antibiotics, often prescribed unnecessarily, disrupt the gut microbiome and cause more harm than good, creating long-term issues like bacterial resistance.

 

Dr. Jockers also explains how acid-blocking medications prevent nutrient absorption, particularly B12 and magnesium, and why they're more damaging than helpful.

"I ended up taking eight or nine ibuprofen a day to help relieve the soreness in my arm. And I really believe that was one of the triggers for me developing irritable bowel syndrome"
