Newsletter: Leaky Gut and The Autoimmune Thyroid Connection

Leaky gut syndrome is a condition where the lining of the intestines is compromised. Normally the cells of the intestine are tight and prevent larger substances (proteins, bacteria, etc.) from passing through. But when someone has a "leaky gut", these larger molecules can now pass through the intestinal wall, and thus go into the bloodstream, where they're not supposed to be. The immune system sees these molecules as being foreign, and as a result an immune system response occurs, thus resulting in inflammation. This potentially can trigger an autoimmune response, thus resulting in a condition such as Graves' Disease or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
