Welcome Back,
Recently, we’ve been discussing Gut Health and why it’s so important to your overall wellness …
But, how do you know if you have a Leaky Gut?
AND why might this be happening to you in the first place?
Well, you may not know it, but …
There’s a disgusting source of Low Energy and Brain Fog linked to your gut that you have probably never considered before but need to….
Especially considering where it starts … it just might surprise you …
So if you haven’t already, get up to speed by reading 10 Signs You May Have a Leaky Gut so you know all the symptoms we discussed last time …
Plus the super quick, super easy way to see if you might be suffering from this condition yourself …
And a surefire all-natural way to stop it before it leads to other, more serious problems.
This time, I want to focus on the last 2 symptoms of a leaky gut I threw at you earlier …
Low Energy and Brain Fog …
Specifically, one often-overlooked part of your body that may be the cause …
What is it?
Your mouth.
Seriously …
Most people don’t realize that a leading cause of Leaky Gut is a dirty mouth.
Think of it this way …
As I said before, what affects your gut also affects your brain because your blood-brain barrier is made from the same materials as your gut lining.
So, what does this have to do with your mouth? Well …
It’s pretty well known that swallowing antibiotics destroys your beneficial gut bacteria – also known as your gut “microbiome.”
This allows nasty “Bad Guy” bacteria to over colonize your gut and cause all sorts of downstream health issues.
For this reason, the first line of defense against gut issues may just be your mouth…
Thing is, you can do everything right for your gut and still screw it up if you don’t treat your mouth with the same level of care. In a nutshell …
The way you treat your mouth influences the way your brain, body, gut, and muscles function.
Obviously, what enters your mouth ends up in your gut …
It’s why we’ve talked so much about eating organic, non-GMO fruits and vegetables and drinking the right kind of water …
Well, what about the way you clean your mouth? Maybe you need to think about what types of toothpastes and mouthwashes you use …
Common mouthwashes and toothpastes contain antibiotics like triclosan that wipe out your beneficial mouth microbiome, in turn, destroying your beneficial gut bacteria.
Even many of the “natural” toothpastes, tooth powders, and mouthwashes contain harmful ingredients …
Using these products kills the “Good Guy” bacteria that keep the “Bad Guys” in check …
The hardier “Bad Guys” move in and set up camp below your gum line; therefore …
Every time you swallow, you’re colonizing your gut microbiome with more of these nasty bugs, moving your gut further and further out of balance.
Even worse …
Because your mouth is so close to your brain, the inflammation caused by an unhealthy oral microbiome can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing severe brain fog and low energy.
It doesn’t matter how healthy you eat or what probiotics you’re taking – your gut can never catch up unless you address your oral health first.
Now, I won’t argue that keeping your teeth and gums healthy isn’t important, but at what cost?
You should already be choosing your foods wisely and researching the various supplements and probiotics you put in your body …
Maybe it’s time to do some research on the products you use to maintain proper oral health on a daily basis. Again …
If you brush, floss, and rinse your mouth out at least twice a day, then you need to be absolutely certain the ingredients you ingest to do it aren’t destroying your gut …
AND negatively impacting your mental acuity and energy levels, in turn.
Remember, a healthy mouth is absolutely essential to a healthy gut.
So, if you want to prevent Low Energy and Brain Fog that comes from having a Leaky Gut …
Try supplementing with a high-quality Humic/Fulvic Acid like I do every morning without fail …
It seals the tight junctions in your gut and blood brain barrier, preventing leaky guts and leaky brains, like we discussed last time …
AND “inoculates” your gut against harmful chemical compounds found in your food like Glyphosate, so it can handle anything suspect in your toothpaste or mouthwash, as well.
Again, this doesn’t mean you should put just anything in your mouth, but it will ensure that what makes it downstream to your gut doesn’t cause you trouble …
Just don’t try washing your mouth out with soap …that’s not the kind of filthy mouth we’re trying to clean up here …
‘Til Next Time … To Your Better Health,
Theo
