Abstract:
A guide for understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most discussed yet little-understood health conditions: leaky gut syndrome.

Our health relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. Axe explains that modern "improvements" to our food supply-- including refrigeration, sanitation, and modified grains-- have damaged our intestinal health. In fact, it's essential to get a little "dirty" to support our gut bacteria. He offers customizable plans to dramatically improve gut health in just thirty days.
