Why Oxygen is the Solution to Fixing Persistent Leaky Gut with Steve Wright

Why Oxygen is the Solution to Fixing Persistent Leaky Gut with Steve Wright

Author: Dr. Jockers November 7, 2023 Duration: 48:16

Have you considered oxygen as being part of YOUR solution for fixing leaky gut? Intestinal permeability (leaky gut) is a major issue, driving up inflammation in the body. 

 

Leaky gut is also at the root of autoimmune conditions (eczema, cirrhosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis – to name a few). It is something that the wellness world is trying to solve from several approaches.

 

Today's guest is one such member of the natural health and wellness world: health engineer and gut health specialist Steven Wright. Steven has created a wide range of products to keep your gut healthy, all of which can be found on his website, healthygut.com.

 

Steven has been doing some amazing research on delivering oxygen to our guts to strengthen our intestinal lining and heal up some of the 'tight junctions' that develop over time. He is at the cutting edge of gut health research and his approach to how we consider the entire environment of our gut is one that will resonate with fans of Dr. Jockers and his holistic approach to health. 

 

This episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone dealing with chronic auto-immune conditions. So please take the time to share it with them; you never know when you may save or improve someone's life with a new approach to a health problem they may be struggling with. 

 

This is valuable information that can give you a 'leg up' on your wellness journey. Please join us and leave us a five-star review along the way!

When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my 'go to' items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen. 

 

That is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful chemicals. 


There are no fillers, flow agents, or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and it's bovine bone broth protein. Hurry and grab yours from Paleovalley.com
