Everyone gets an upset stomach every now and then, but leaky gut, a very uncomfortable health condition, can affect your overall well-being. Find out how our functional medicine and nutritional counseling services at Native Sun Nutrition and Functional Medicine can help you enhance your health.

What is leaky gut?

Leaky gut, also known as intestinal permeability, is a condition that is a result of digestive system inflammation. When you have leaky gut, your intestines become semi-permeable, allowing contents in your gut to escape through your intestinal walls and leak into your bloodstream. When this debris enters your bloodstream, it can lead to a host of health problems, like eczema, asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, auto-immune disease, etc.

What are the symptoms of leaky gut?

You may be suffering from leaky gut if you are experiencing:

  • Thyroid problems
  • Digestive issues
  • Arthritis or joint pain
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Inflammatory skin conditions
  • Seasonal allergies
  • Autoimmune conditions

If you are noticing any of these signs of leaky gut, contact Dr. Williams for a consultation. She can evaluate your condition and help you determine the best treatment plan for your needs.

What health conditions have been linked to leaky gut?

Leaky gut has been linked to a variety of uncomfortable and even dangerous health conditions, such as:

  • Acne
  • Eczema
  • Low immunity
  • Diabetes
  • Adrenal fatigue
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Liver disease

Why should I choose Native Sun Nutrition and Functional Medicine?

The Allopathic medical model, conventional medicine, does not acknowledge or address causes for leaky gut. Dr. Caroline Williams provides a functional medicine approach and investigation as to the cause of your gut inflammation and what’s damaging the gut and has tools to help you heal and seal your leaky gut.
