Do you know what Leaky Gut is?

Leaky gut is when the lining of your intestines, which acts as a protective barrier, becomes weakened or damaged. Normally, this lining has tiny openings that allow nutrients from food to pass into your bloodstream while keeping harmful substances out.

If the barrier becomes too porous, or “leaky,” larger particles like undigested food, toxins, or bacteria can slip through. This can trigger your immune system and lead to inflammation, which might cause symptoms like digestive discomfort, fatigue, skin issues, or even brain fog.

It’s like a sieve that’s supposed to let water through but starts letting sand and pebbles through as well. The goal is to support your gut so it can heal and function properly, often through diet, supplements, reducing stress, and addressing any underlying health issues that may be contributing to this condition.

We dive deeper into this subject and how to heal it in the Supercharged Cleanse starting end of January 2025.

Identifying Leaky Gut

One of my favorite tests to evaluate digestive function is called GI Effects by Genova Diagnostics. This test is a comprehensive stool analysis that provides a detailed look at your digestive health.

It evaluates how well you digest and absorb nutrients, checks the balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut, and looks for infections like harmful bacteria, yeast, or parasites.

The test also measures markers of gut inflammation and immune activity, helping to identify conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or food sensitivities.

It can detect signs of leaky gut by assessing intestinal permeability and nutrient absorption issues, which are often linked to fatigue, bloating, or other health problems.

With its detailed results, the test guides personalized recommendations, such as dietary changes, probiotics, digestive enzymes, or other treatments to restore balance and support gut healing.

This test is ideal for people with chronic digestive symptoms, food sensitivities, fatigue, skin issues, or anyone looking to optimize their gut health.

It provides valuable insights to help address underlying causes and improve overall well-being.

Game Changer for Leaky Gut

On the 2025 Supercharged Cleanse we will be using a newly released, unique supplement combining prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to support gut health and overall well-being.

The gut plays a vital role in not just digestion but also immune function, mental health, and more.

Maintaining a healthy gut barrier and balanced microbiome is essential for overall health, but modern diets often fall short of providing the nutrients needed to support this balance.

This product helps heal leaky gut!

This product includes:

Inulin (Prebiotic): A natural fiber from chicory that feeds good bacteria in your gut, promoting their growth and activity.

Bifidobacterium lactis B420 (Probiotic): A clinically studied live bacteria that helps restore gut balance, strengthen the gut barrier, and promote overall digestive health.

Akkermansia muciniphila (Postbiotic): A next-generation ingredient proven to support the gut lining and improve gut barrier function, offering long-term benefits.

These three components work together. Prebiotics nourish probiotics, which in turn produce postbiotics that strengthen the gut and inhibit harmful bacteria.

This synergy enhances gut health, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall wellness.
