Your gut might be leaking toxins into your bloodstream right now.
The result? Joint pain, brain fog, and even depression.
Dr. Mark Hyman calls this "the root cause of most chronic disease."
Here's his 5-step protocol to heal your "leaky gut" naturally:🧵
First, let's understand what leaky gut actually is.
Your gut lining is like a coffee filter.

The food pyramid is a scam.
The government's most famous nutritional guide was created to make you sick.
And I'm not being dramatic.
Billions of dollars were spent to convince you that bread should be the foundation of your diet.

Think about it: 6-11 servings of grains daily at the BASE of the pyramid?
This advice has directly contributed to our epidemic of metabolic disease.
But it gets worse...
