this is dr j nines nine and nine with nine tips for how to fix leaky gut syndrome so maybe you
figured out now that leaky gut syndrome is part of your problem with your own health but how do you
fix it so today i'm gonna share nine tips for how to fix the leaky gut if you're new to my channel
welcome i'm dr janine bowring naturopathic doctor so let's start right at the top tip number one
is to fix your circadian rhythm so it's really important first thing in the morning is to get
early morning sun exposure you want to do your best to look at the sun at the sunrise even if
you can expose your stomach to those healing rays of the sun in the morning this will go a long way
for helping your leaky gut but also for setting your circadian rhythm for the day also make sure
that you're getting moderate exercise throughout the day to help to set your circadian rhythms in
a healthy way and always get a good restful night's sleep so when you stop eating again
around 6 p.m this will ensure that you have a good night's sleep and the studies have actually shown
that if you are eating at the wrong times and this was something that was done in mice but eating at
the wrong times would change the gut function and mess up the microbiome and the organisms in
the gut but also when the body's supposed to be resting that's not when you maximize your
ability to digest your food and then this offsets your entitle circadian rhythm and that then has a
negative impact on your melatonin so that restful night's sleep and stopping to eat around six pm or
three to four hours prior to going to bed is super important tip number two is to include
some coconut oil in your diet coconut oil contains something called mct's medium chain triglycerides
which help to repair the gut and that is super important check out another video that i have
here on how to fix the leaky gut because i share a fantastic recipe that includes coconut oil
tip number three is to fix your microbiome so yes we need to include a high diversity
of gut microbes in our diet and how do we do that well eating fruits and vegetables in season
and believe it or not not making them too clean so if we think about carrots that we've purchased
at or hopefully you've pulled them out of the ground yourself but if you've purchased them
at your local farm or certainly at the grocery store you want to get the ones that don't look
all shiny and new and that have been pre-peeled and treated you want them to look as they came
out of the ground and you want to include some of that dirt that is there and by touching that dirt
it actually helps with the diversity of your microbiome because those microbes in the earth
from where the the carrots came actually helps you to digest the carrots so that is super important
and i don't think enough of us are doing that and taking advantage of that local environment
and that soil and those soil organisms to help with the digestion of our food but also to help
the diversity in our guts also of course taking probiotics that include fructooligosaccharides
and these are the prebiotics that help to repair the holes in the gut lining which is part of the
leaky gut syndrome so making sure if you are taking probiotics that it also includes the fos
as well as parasite cleansing so there are certain herbal medicines that are super powerful
at getting rid of those bad bugs that can be in the gut some of my favorites are oregano as well
as black walnut is very healing because it helps to kill off those bad organisms and
those parasites cloves are fantastic because they also help to kill off the babies so those immature
and the eggs of those parasites and the cloves really help to deal with that and turmeric as
well so turmeric is a spice but also in terms of a herbal medicine it's something that you can take
in a capsule form especially with the concentrated curcumin that's what you're looking for when
you're looking for a supplement for turmeric and curcumin not as only is it healing to the gut but
also has that anti-parasitic effect so for links to products check them below and we can help to
guide you in that department tip number four is to limit your caffeine and your alcohol sorry guys
but that's you know unfortunately a little bit's okay so that's the good news but too much caffeine
and too much alcohol has a negative impact on the gut lining and hen can damage those tight
junctions in the gut and so in this study we can see that alcohol definitely and the correlation
with circadian rhythms and the health of the gut is definitely correlated so we want to make sure
that we are limiting again not too much alcohol so doing overdoing it not so good but get your
caffeine as well drink more water this will really be a healthy way to take care of your leaky gut
syndrome as well tip number five is to decrease the sugar in your diet so refined carbohydrates
too much sugar even from fruits can cause a problem with our leptin so leptin resistance
is an issue when we're talking about leaky gut syndrome whenever our insulin levels go high
this will decrease our vitamin c and of course we need vitamin c to maintain the collagen fibers to
help to keep our guts strong so if you think of that you know if you missed my show the science
of weight loss and leptin resistance be sure that you check that out on another episode here
on youtube to make sure that you are healing that gut but also healing that leptin resistance which
is often where this entire phenomenon is happening right at the beginning also when we talk about you
know tip number six when we get right into it this is increasing certain nutrients so things like an
acetylcysteine neck or selenium are something that is so important to be able to heal up those tight
junctions in the leaky gut and using functional proteins so protein powders we know that have been
formulated to be able to really help to heal up those tight junctions in the gut and often have
some of these correlated accessory nutrients within the protein powders themselves are
very repetitive to the leaky gut tip number seven is to decrease your emf exposure so emfs have
a negative impact on your gut microbiome so it can make the bad bugs grow more and become more
resistant to antibiotics and also has a negative impact on the good growth of the good bacteria
tip number eight is supplementation so to get extra help from supplements is always a great idea
to help to fix that leaky gut even more quickly so some of the ones that i love are zinc is very
very reparative to the gut lining make sure that it contains the zinc ionophore to ensure that it's
properly absorbed and a little bit of copper as well so again we have links below to help you
to guide you in the right direction here as well as vitamin d3 so we know that natural
sun exposure is important but a lot of people myself included you know living here in canada
not getting and seeing the sun so much in the cold winter months it's important to sometimes
supplement as well vitamin c so vitamin c with bioflavonoids is important so as a whole food
complex is really important to help to fix our collagen which again helps to maintain the proper
functioning and structure of our gut cells as well as dha so dha is docosahexaenoic acid this is
typically from fish oils or a fish oil supplement is really important for maintaining all of our
cellular health but also helps to convert that sunlight energy which i always talk about into
the electrical currents in our body which gives us the proper functioning of our entire organism
coenzyme q10 is also reparative to the gut and that's really important as well as a supplement
and enzymes so digestive enzymes can be very helpful as well especially if they're helping
you to digest gluten and dairy which can be very inflammatory and be very difficult
for most people to digest and tip number nine is the dr j9 self-healing meditation for improving
your leaky gut so that's a whole other video that we have here make sure you check it out
and really tuning into your energy tuning into the energy of the universe to help to focus in
and send that healing light and energy to that leaky gut so that you are able to heal
it even more quickly than doing all the other things as well included in this video to help
