An excellent reminder from Dr K today on gut health. I always do this now and it can really help. Message is: don’t miss the obvious, simpler things before you get all complicated.

The gut operates in a north-to-south hierarchy. That means you have to start with the mouth and work your way down.
Are you chewing your food thoroughly?
Is your mouth making enough saliva?
Does your stomach have enough acid?
Is your gallbladder secreting bile?
Is your pancreas producing digestive enzymes?
How is your gut bacteria composition, and so on?
Breakdowns can occur anywhere along this path and if you skip any one of them, you most likely won’t have good results with your leaky gut, SIBO, or gut health protocol.
