00:01 >> And Benjamin Franklin said Love your neighbor yet. Don't
00:04 pull down your head. Robert Frost wrote a poem in which he 00:06 wrote Good fences, Make good neighbors. That's true of 00:09 national borders, homes and yeah, even with the chicken 00:13 coop, 00:14 really fences and borders or for protection from enemies and 00:18 to foster good relationships, boundaries exist not to be 00:21 impenetrable, not to promote isolation. An alienation are 00:25 supposed to be a place of connectivity here got has a 00:28 border and it's an extremely important one. We don't realize 00:32 how much the intestinal border effects overall health until 00:36 something goes wrong. Join us today as we discussed 00:39 intestinal border crossing 00:56 >> serve. 01:00 >> Welcome back to make for help. And I'm so glad you 01:03 joined us today. 01:04 >> Because we are talking about the super important topic, 01:07 the intestinal border, what it is and how this border and PACs 01:12 total health. 01:13 Are you concerned about your gut health? They heard of leaky 01:16 Gut syndrome. 01:17 The gut is responsible for the digestion of food for nutrients 01:21 are absorbed into the bloodstream, but it's actually 01:23 responsible for a whole lot more making it a vital part of 01:27 the body. 01:28 When the intestinal border is compromise, though, it can lead 01:31 to chronic inflammation autoimmune disorders and other 01:34 health problems. 01:36 We will be discussing the role of the intestinal border, 01:39 the triggers of leaky gut and the foods they can break down 01:42 the mucus protective barrier. 01:44 >> Well, that S the border, of course, is where the dew 01:47 transferred run in from the gun itself into the bloodstream. 01:52 And so the, you know, the term borders a very appropriate term 01:56 because it's one and to allow the right things in but prevent 02:00 the wrong things from coming in. 02:03 >> The barge in our intestines is is really the intersection 02:09 between the external and the internal. 02:12 Now the police needs to really distinguish what's dangers and 02:17 what's not 02:19 the better. They are at the job, the better for our health. 02:24 What we see in on the Western diet is that the police will 02:29 get less vigilant and more diet, 3 antigens and also more 02:35 bacteria will get through the gut lining. 02:38 And that's really compromising our health because we don't 02:42 want the bad bacteria getting into into our bloodstream. 02:45 We don't want the antigens that don't belong there either 02:49 because this is this can also trigger the autoimmune process 02:53 ease and inflammation and chronic diseases. 02:57 Doctor Cali the like in the border patrol to police to 03:01 prevent enemies are invaders from entering the body. 03:04 >> We can also like in the intestinal wall to TSA, meaning 03:07 that has checkpoints where it selectively allow certain 03:10 things to pass through but not others 03:13 nutrients are transported in while bad guys are hindered on 03:17 the daily target barrier comes in contact with more potential 03:21 disturbance of the peace and dangerous enemies. Then the 03:24 internal immune system sees in a lifetime. 03:27 For this reason we have several checkpoints. 03:31 You know, you have your cells 03:33 that I'm kind of are connected to each other throughout the 03:36 got. 03:37 And there are bridges in between those cells. And 03:40 sometimes those bridges are broken. And when those bridges 03:43 are broken, normally when you eat, your food 03:46 has to go through the salad, get processed through the cell 03:48 and it gets broken down appropriately gets presented to 03:51 the blood and immune system appropriately the way God 03:55 beautifully designed it. But when the food is allowed to 03:58 go through these broken bridges, they are completely 04:01 broken down. They look different. Look funny. They're 04:03 not present a nicely appropriately to the immune 04:06 system. An immune system sometimes sees that as 04:10 foreign. 04:11 Not not part of us did come through ourselves. That didn't 04:14 get processed appropriately. And the immune system sometimes 04:18 can react to the food that comes through 04:22 between the cells instead of through the cells. And that's 04:25 kind of how I explained we can get is actually pretty 04:29 prevalent and most people on a Western diet to develop it 04:34 without even knowing it. 04:36 So if you don't check for it to you don't even know that you 04:39 have this condition. 04:41 >> So I don't even know I have it. Why bother there's enough 04:44 that I do know about that. I should be concerned about, 04:47 right. 04:48 The reality is, though, that leaky got isn't upstream 04:50 problem that can be contributing to a host of 04:53 downstream problems. We're going to first look at what can 04:57 promote Lee keep order. 04:59 >> When digestion is not optimal, when there are some 05:02 dysfunction in the process of digestion that leads to 05:06 inflammation 05:08 and they are could be unhealthy. Food being consumed, 05:11 it could be consuming alcoholic beverages and it can be 05:16 consuming on a sugary products that leads to an inflammatory 05:20 process that didn't actually opens up the border 05:24 literally and opens up and we refer to as increased 05:28 intestinal permeability oftentimes referred to as leaky 05:33 Gut syndrome. 05:34 >> The triggers for leaking got are chronic conditions such as 05:39 obesity and type 2 diabetes, 05:42 but also the high-fat Western diet, which may contribute to 05:47 this condition within a short period of time. Within only a 05:51 few days, the lip of public sucker I'd concentrations will 05:56 increase and the blood stream within only a few days on a 06:00 Western diet. 06:01 Okay. What is life polysaccharide? 06:04 We introduced the topic in a previous episode, but let's go 06:07 over it again. Because if you're like me, got to hear 06:10 more than once. 06:11 LPs comes from bacteria, like bacterial fragments, it's 06:16 referred to as an and toxin or a toxin that's from within 06:21 rather than one that we inhale or absorb in comes from the 06:24 outside of us. 06:25 Chronic exposure to this type of LPs in the gut alters the 06:29 structure of the got law. It compromises the protective 06:34 barrier, the border. The border starts breaking down, which 06:37 allows LPs to leak m promoting chronic inflammation and the 06:41 development of disease. Annabelle bowel disease, 06:44 diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, chronic kidney disease, mental 06:48 health disorders, 06:51 let's learn some more about what doctors are triggers of 06:53 leaky gut. 06:57 >> Other things that connect cause significant damage to the 07:00 test. No border, 07:03 our toxins of any kind 07:05 whether their environmental toxins from glyphosate from 07:09 from herbicides and pesticides or other industrial toxins that 07:13 are just in our wider. That's why I always recommend that 07:16 when we consume water for for cooking or drinking, that would 07:20 be filtered through through a good filtration system to limit 07:24 the exposure to toxins, cause toxins are everywhere. And and 07:28 these toxins will damage the intestinal border and and 07:32 create an inflammatory process and information we think of the 07:37 swelling. It increases that that permeability among other 07:42 things into the bloodstream, including those very toxins. 07:46 >> There are a lot of things in our us in our immediate 07:48 environment that can cause so again, we can think about 07:52 and about IX 07:53 and about. It's also 07:56 kill a lot of our healthy micro Biome, but they also can help 07:59 break down the gut barrier and brick break those bridges, 08:03 steroids, 08:06 aspirin, or a category called in said Ys. So like Ibuprofen 08:11 or Advil Aleve, all of those can cause it and how many 08:16 people are taking these daily? Yeah. So there's I mean, 08:21 so I think medications and stress are 2 big ones. 08:25 >> You know, we see this a lot and the pain clinic, 08:29 you know, as I mentioned before, 08:32 we have a lot of patients on opioid pain medications and the 08:36 opioid pain medications affect the got an alternately. These 08:40 patients will develop the he got syndrome and a consequence 08:45 of the he got syndrome is a picture of chronic 08:49 inflammation. 08:51 You know, when when we have all of this chronic inflammation 08:56 going on, we can actually develop autoimmune disorders 09:00 such as lupus, such as rheumatoid arthritis and many 09:06 other autoimmune disorders. A lot of chronic pain patients 09:10 suffer with leaky gut syndrome. You know, many of my patients 09:13 on opioid pain medications, and I'm one of the side effects of 09:19 opioids, unfortunately, is to slow down the got, so stand 09:24 motility in the gut. And as a result, you can have a backup 09:29 of bacteria from the large intestine, into the small 09:32 intestine. And that's a condition we call see beau 09:35 small, intestinal bacterial overgrowth. 09:39 And when that happens, the micro biome becomes disturbed. 09:44 And as a result, the tight junctions between the cells in 09:49 our bow, which is really only one layer thick, those tight 09:53 junctions between the cells become leaky 09:56 and therefore food particles and toxins and things that 10:00 would normally not 10:02 pass through. The bowel can get in our bloodstream 10:05 and when things get into our bloodstream that are not 10:09 supposed to be there are immune system reacts against it are 10:12 immune system. Our white blood cells are antibodies realize 10:15 that, hey, there's something here that's not supposed to be 10:18 here. Let's get rid of it. And so the antibodies bind to 10:22 these food particles and create complexes and then the 10:25 complexes can then become to positive in places such as our 10:30 joints, 10:31 our muscles and all sorts of tissues. And that sets off for 10:35 a picture of chronic inflammation and those tissues. 10:38 And therefore, we develop pain everywhere. 10:41 >> Are you saying that when I have a knee problem and I 10:43 painted my knee, it's not just in a problem. Yes. So I'm not 10:47 exactly what I'm saying is that when you have a new poll is not 10:50 just any problem, it's pain. It's pain and inflammation. 10:54 So yeah, you do have bone on bone and so your body is having 10:57 a hyper reaction 10:59 hyper inflammatory reaction that's causing pain. If you can 11:03 take the inflammation away now the pain is God and you can 11:07 manage and do okay with the same bone on bone x-ray, 11:11 looking exactly the same. 11:13 And so we don't understand. We don't even begin to 11:16 understand as physicians the role that inflammation plays in 11:22 pain, especially musculoskeletal pain. And how 11:25 taking the incense to try to manage that is the worst thing 11:29 you can do because now you're destroying the got to wow. 11:32 My guess is that literally all of us have some kind of pain 11:36 reliever at home. 11:38 So I had to have a clarifying restate what she just shared. 11:42 Yeah, for sure, for sure. And in and if you do it for a 11:45 short period of time and for a very specific reason, dogs, 11:48 if you creating long-term damage is much less. But yes, 11:52 the chronic use that definitely can concrete poles. But I'll 11:55 come back to this. A lot of people are using the end says 11:59 for musculoskeletal pain, I have knee pain, my knees hurt 12:04 or whatever. And what we find is, you know, though, going to 12:06 get an x-ray done and they'll say, oh, my cartledge is 12:10 damaged and, you know, it's bone on bone and this and that 12:13 and I have the pain and I have to have this. 12:15 And you know, if you could actually see stop the pro 12:19 inflammatory foods, 12:21 you can actually reduce the pain can completely go. Re. 12:25 The X-ray looks the same. The pain is gone. You don't 12:29 need that and says, because you've changed your diet to be 12:32 anti inflammatory a set of pro inflammatory, and you've just 12:36 use food as medicine, even eliminated the need to to 12:39 damage your got. And now you're golden. 12:43 >> I think that is so important for us to understand 12:46 by reducing inflammation with lifestyle interventions, 12:48 there is the inc, credible potential that we can still 12:51 have bone on bone, get not need anti-inflammatory medications 12:55 because the inflammation is gone. 12:58 Because when you think about it, anything that weekend's the 13:00 border is going to lead to even more information. 13:06 >> Not having a healthy diet allows to the got to have 13:11 reduce. We have in the got something color, mucus layer, 13:14 which actually kind of helps protect the got in and give out 13:18 a buffer for and so different foods that we eat, kind of 13:22 breakdown that mucus layer and we lose some of that protection 13:27 and allow some of the other new chance to get into the area 13:31 where the bridge bridges can get broken. And so I think of I 13:34 just nutrition in general. 13:37 >> I got a pause here. This is such valuable information. 13:40 Remember, one of the border checkpoints is a mucus layer in 13:43 the small intestine and a 2 layer mucus film lining the 13:46 large intestine. 13:47 This mucus layer protects the wall of the intestine, separate 13:50 exit from contact with intruding microbes or any 13:53 trouble maker. 13:54 The mucus also behaves like an intestinal cleaner, removing 13:58 debris and bacteria flushing them down so we can excrete 14:02 them 14:03 healthy mucus layer protects the immune system by reducing 14:06 its exposure to allergy, triggering molecules that would 14:10 set off a host of symptoms. So in this way, it acts like a 14:13 first-line defense and new immunological defense against 14:17 possible harmful compounds. Because remember, 70% of your 14:21 immune system is stationed right on the other side of this 14:25 very thin intestinal law. 14:28 And if your immune system saw everything in your gut, it 14:30 would probably go Mets. 14:32 So the mucus keep some things away, like harmful intruders 14:36 and external talks and so they could end up in the toilet 14:39 instead of your body. It also protects your gut cells from 14:42 your body's own digestive acids and enzymes. 14:45 But it also transports beneficial travelers to the 14:48 cell wall. The seacoast layer so important to a healthy gut 14:52 different factors and found a breakdown or degrade the mucus 14:55 layer like eating a low fiber diet. 14:58 The fibers in short supply, the bacteria have to resort to 15:01 something else is their fuel source and they can start 15:04 breaking down mucous itself. 15:06 The mucus layer can be broken down by different things like 15:09 low fiber. High fat diet. Food additives Micah lives 15:13 additives like most of fires that are found in common foods 15:16 like ready made puddings many store bought ice creams, 15:20 coffee creamers where you've got to keep the fat in the 15:23 water mix together and claiming us meat glue which is added to 15:27 meat products to hold food like fake crab and chicken nuggets 15:31 together and food sensitivities. I another 15:34 factor that's been associated with a breakdown of the border. 15:39 >> People have got issues. They are sick. What we see 15:42 frequently with leaky gut problems is we see 15:45 food sensitivities 15:47 and 15:49 with food sensitivities. What happens is if you have a 15:52 sense to the 2 food, you tend to cause inflammation 15:55 and the got a lonely, expand so much before you start getting 16:00 the kids around the one cell 16:02 and that leakage then makes you more susceptible to food 16:05 sensitivities. 16:06 We see this with pollen. Also, we don't we don't 16:09 address it that much with pollen, 16:12 but frequently 16:15 you'll find, for instance, around here 16:18 when it's the cedar season and Seager's going crazy, 16:23 people have more problems eating certain foods because 16:26 it's related to the cedar. So in August 16:30 we have ragweed here in this county 16:32 and ragweed is in the same family as a cantaloupe. 16:38 And so I have certain patients. They can eat cantaloupe all 16:40 year round. But in August, they can't eat it because the 16:43 ragweed is your taking the got so they can eat it when it's 16:47 that we just yes. And the old docks knew this. 16:51 In fact, I got this from an old dock from from a Denver, 16:53 Colorado, who is a classical allergists who gave me a whole 16:56 list of what pollen 16:59 that was associated with, what food? Because they're in the 17:01 same family. Okay. Plant family. So. 17:05 >> So that's why when when patients come to me and say, 17:07 oh, I'm really sensitive it, I've done this test and I'm 17:11 allergic to all these different foods. Chances are they're 17:13 really not allergic to all those who say maybe I have a 17:17 problem with a few of them. Okay. But those few are 17:21 creating that leaky. Got that then increase the problem with 17:25 all the other food. And so that means things get into the 17:29 bloodstream that otherwise would not get into the 17:32 bloodstream. These are like inadequately digested proteins, 17:37 for instance, can can get absorbed. I mean, you're ready 17:40 have poor digestion to begin with, right, that led to this 17:44 problem. Now you have these in properly digested proteins to 17:48 get into the bloodstream and now the immune system inside 17:53 the blood stream going, whoa, what is this? This is this is a 17:56 biologically active substance that we don't want in our blood 18:00 in our body. And so it starts. It starts attacking it. And it 18:03 says starts creating a man making antibodies against it. 18:07 Now you can become sensitive or allergic to all kinds of 18:12 things. Otherwise you really would be sensitive to or 18:15 allergic to dust. 18:16 >> Sometimes people develop allergies or autoimmune 18:20 conditions. And they're not really thinking about the 18:23 secure border in the first place. And these might be the 18:27 first symptoms. 18:29 Also developing any chronic, chronic conditions can be the 18:34 first symptoms. 18:36 And the good news is that the treatment for the secure border 18:40 is the same as for any other chronic conditions, 18:44 transitioning to a plant based diet to a whole food 18:47 plant-based diet with enough physical exercise, also with 18:53 incorporating intermittent fasting. Those are the most 18:57 part Florimon D's for all these condition, chronic conditions 19:00 and for the secure border. The if the border is not 19:05 secure, this can be a cause of increased inflammation in our 19:10 body. 19:11 >> And the 19:14 the development of insulin resistance down the road. 19:18 If you're not familiar with insulin resistance, we have an 19:21 episode coming up entirely on that topic. 19:24 But this insulin resistance is the metabolic dysfunction that 19:28 can be at the hub of diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome or 19:33 obesity, or elevate a cluster on. 19:35 But leaky gut can possibly be what's driving insulin, 19:39 resistance. 19:41 Securing the border is important in preventing the 19:45 development of all the chronic diseases such as obesity and 19:49 type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer and 19:53 autoimmune disease. We I will beat. 19:56 >> OK, so we have in one site on east makes vegetables and 20:01 fruits full of phytochemicals antioxidants. I mean, the other 20:06 hand we have, you know, the dunking done instead, Kentucky, 20:10 if it can, and we have that McDonald's and all of these 4 20:13 that their artificial, I have no color. 20:16 So we need to start. You know, I usually tell my patients, 20:20 you know, you have a sport. You ice poor caught one of the 20:23 finest 20:25 and what to put in that Spock. I do want to go and put diesel 20:30 in it. You know, you couldn't look at the manual and said, 20:34 OK, you know, I I want to put that asked the best oil and the 20:39 best gas. So that science has to really show us what the best 20:45 feel is for bodies. And I know that people sometimes my 20:48 patients said I'm so confused at going to the Internet and I 20:52 get all, you know, all sorts of things. You know, cheeses, 20:55 good chase is bad and that coffee is good cause. He's back 20:58 out to Lowe's, good and they're all welcome peace site. I 21:01 usually set 21:04 it's true. 50 years ago. 21:07 I have pictures of doctor us. You know, they want the EMT 21:11 with this big, you know, a lot and and nurses with these nice 21:15 little caps saying that my world was just the best 21:19 cigarettes. The secret 21:21 50 years ago, doctors where promoting that and for a long 21:26 time, people caught confuse because the research didn't 21:31 show any damaged. No conclusive knew it would neutral. 21:36 And still people didn't know until they figure out who was 21:41 sponsoring those trials. 21:44 And they feel that that was actually day 21:47 secret, that tobacco companies that what 21:50 making the U.S. trials and getting those conclusions now 21:54 when asked that to take. But actually that's happening 21:57 today with that foot 21:59 because the research of cheese and research of dairy be such a 22:03 need now all compromise when we know police to sponsor them. 22:08 One of the things that I give to my patients, it's a Web 22:12 cycle. Nutrition facts that it 22:15 it's not sponsored by any pharmaceutical. It's not a 22:18 sponsored by any food. 22:21 It's 22:22 a physician who has has been to a team of people to collect all 22:27 the research, the analyze them, and they bring all the ones to 22:31 have no by us, too, 22:33 for the public. And so it is sometimes scientific and make 22:37 people may feel intimidated. But then the website has still 22:43 intention to educate 22:45 the general public. 22:47 So I would highly recommend out to all of your viewers to to 22:53 look into know, watching the news can be a little bit 22:58 tricky. 22:59 I have a problem recently when the new said that aspirin was 23:03 not necessary anymore. Bice an unknown guy lines and some 23:08 recent research. 23:11 That's what the news mentioned. And so I have obese patients 23:14 calling my office and said all I I don't need has been the 23:17 more I don't need has been. And then you said and I don't 23:19 need it. 23:20 So when you look at the recent at the research, this was a 23:24 prevention trial. So 23:27 we used to recommend everyone, you know, about 50 to just get 23:31 an ask me. We know now that you don't need to do that unless 23:35 you have risk factors, you bad etiquette. You a small cut. 23:38 Even you have high disease Eve. You had prior bypass surgery. 23:43 You need asking for my patients with bypass surgery. Wanted to 23:47 quit asking because that they were they watching us us. 23:51 The gut is exposed to. 23:53 >> Noxious agents, whether there are, you know, parasites 23:57 or bacteria that are not. And, you know, from the got the 24:01 date do not belong in our micro biome and they're introduced in 24:05 some way the God they get damaged and the most important 24:08 thing that causes damages food in on processed foods and 24:12 unhealthy foods, foods that are very high in saturated fats and 24:17 salt and sugar. They tend to damage the the got barrier. 24:21 And so you see seepage off on one to get products into the 24:25 circulation, which in turn affects the rest of our system. 24:29 >> So I want to show you what has to change when they see 24:33 graphic from the 19, 100's, 2, 2, 110. These was published and 24:38 in a flood review and major saint of pulling a in review in 24:43 2000. So should buy in the 19. 100's of people were consuming 24:47 5 pounds a year 24:50 today into into that in 2010, 190 pounds 24:55 should I? That was to the oil. 4 pounds mad men today. 74. 25:01 She's 2 pounds per year. Now, 30 pounds 25:06 meet 140 pounds per year. Now, 210 pounds for them 25:12 vegetables back in the 1900, 131 pounds 25:16 yet. Now 11 25:19 cases Eve. You're telling me what has changed. Okay. This is 25:24 a very important graphic, too. You know, calories in 192100 25:29 colleagues 25:31 to 10, 25:32 2010. 25:34 I was 3,000 and nutrient density 25:39 really hast 25:41 guy completely down because people are not even vegetables 25:44 and fruits. Soft drinks, the era in the 19, 100's now. 25:48 54 balance 25:51 0 and the 1900. It's now 4 hours a day. 25:56 And I have a graphic about the a study that was done with and 26:00 refined, just looking at the population in in different 26:04 countries in the world. And and they 26:08 look at and we find plan for consumption versus the number 26:12 one killer, heart disease and cancer. 26:15 And we see that in Hungary and the U.S. in Belgium when 26:19 there's a lot of processed foods and very little 26:22 consumption of refined gun salutes 26:26 numbers of of heart disease and cancer has skyrocketed. 26:30 But in in countries like Thailand and Laos and Ko Yao 26:34 Wei plant foods are still high. 26:37 Hi Decease is based on current of 26:40 so at I think we need to understand the new foods. 26:45 I'm I so important why we put a Kenley patients have to be 26:49 chances to kill you. High 26:52 access, lunch and dinner that I love that. 26:55 >> What's happening with a chronic kidney disease? As 26:59 you're getting a buildup in your area that's going through 27:01 the blood. 27:02 It's also getting into cells, 27:05 individual cells and it gets into the bowels.
