We know for a fact that too much inflammation can pose critical threats to one's health. In this episode, Dr. Jockers talks about the essential role of the gut lining when it comes to allowing in essential nutrients the body needs and keeping at bay all the harmful substances that can drive up inflammation. Learn the benefits of having a healthy gut and the natural ways you can ensure it stays in shape. Understand how the different internal organs work together to help the gut perform optimally and the different tests you can try at home to check if these organs are also in their best health.
