Summary
Dr. Wendie Trubow joins Dr. Jockers to discuss how environmental toxins trigger zonulin release, leading to intestinal permeability and systemic inflammation. They cover testing strategies, common toxin sources, and evidence-based detoxification protocols.
Key Points
- Zonulin is the primary biomarker for intestinal permeability
- Glyphosate, heavy metals, and mycotoxins all trigger zonulin release
- Environmental toxin exposure is ubiquitous through food, water, and air
- Comprehensive toxin testing should include heavy metals, mold, and pesticides
- Binders like activated charcoal and clay can support toxin elimination
