Histamine and Leaky Gut Lab Markers Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode, Dr. Jockers talks about intestinal permeability, histamine issues, and lab markers we should be looking at to check for underlying problems and get to the roots of our conditions. He also talks about chronic inflammation, what triggers it, and what happens when the gut is exposed to harmful pathogens beyond what it can handle. Learn about the ideal functional range you should be aspiring for when it comes to histamine levels and intestinal permeability or when you're looking at the blood proteins when testing for stomach acid levels. You will also learn about the important role of histamine in digestion and immune response, and the ideal range you need to maintain optimal blood protein levels.

"The intestinal lining is only supposed to allow nutrients through. When we have inflammation, it reduces the amount of mucosa in the intestines and breaks the tight junctions, and allows large, undigested food particles, pathogens and endotoxins to seep into the bloodstream. This can turn on systemic inflammation in the body."

Are you a coffee-lover? For most people, their morning simply can't start without a good cup of steaming coffee. Surprisingly, there are also some people who, even if they love the smell and taste of these addictive beans, their bodies are not well-adjusted to it.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares natural strategies to help coffee-lovers enjoy their every cup without guilt or regret. You will also learn how caffeine works in the nervous system and the types of plants, aside from coffee beans, where caffeine naturally occurs.

Ari Whitten rejoins Dr. Jockers in another episode to talk about mitochondrial health and its relationship to energy production and depletion. He also talks about the hormonal rhythm and the circadian rhythm and how both rhythms are beautifully yet sensibly illustrated in a quote. He tackles the principles of achieving synchronicity in the circadian rhythm and the steps to achieve it. Most importantly, he shares natural strategies to help reduce insulin resistance and stabilize blood sugar levels to help the body deal with chronic stressors and diseases.
