Leaky gut occurs when the lining of the intestines becomes compromised, allowing unwanted substances such as toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles to pass into the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation throughout the body and may contribute to a variety of chronic health concerns.
Because the digestive system plays a vital role in immunity, nutrient absorption, hormone balance, and overall wellness, addressing gut health is often an important step toward improving long-term health.
Digestive issues, chronic inflammation, food sensitivities, fatigue, and autoimmune concerns may all be linked to intestinal permeability, commonly known as leaky gut. At Total Functional Wellness Center, Dr. Jeffrey Kalins provides comprehensive functional medicine care to identify underlying digestive imbalances and help restore optimal gut health for patients throughout Clayton County and the Southern Atlanta area.
