Leaky gut — intestinal hyperpermeability — is one of the most discussed topics in integrative wellness writing. When the tight junctions between intestinal cells break down, partially digested food particles, toxins, and bacterial fragments may enter the bloodstream. The downstream effects discussed in the literature can include joint pain, brain fog, skin conditions, fatigue, and food sensitivities.
I first encountered Total Restore while reading Dr. Steven Gundry's The Plant Paradox. I have written about this product as a consumer and wellness educator.
