$8,400 on a gastroenterologist, an allergist, and 14 months of elimination diets before someone tested his zonulin levels Had a client come to me after being told he had IBS, possible Crohn's, maybe a "sensitive stomach." He'd cut out gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, nightshades, histamine foods. Was eating 7 foods. Lost 22 pounds he didn't need to lose. Still bloating after every meal. Still waking up looking 6 months pregnant by dinner The allergist ran a skin prick test. Came back negative for everything. The GI ran an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Both clean. "Must be stress-related." Gave him a prescription for dicyclomine and told him to try yoga Nobody measured intestinal permeability. Nobody checked what was happening between the cells of his gut lining. Nobody even considered that the barrier itself was the problem, not the food passing through it We ran zonulin. Through the roof. His tight junctions were blown open. Every food he ate was triggering an immune response not because the food was the problem but because his gut wall was letting partially digested proteins into his bloodstream where they don't belong. His immune system was attacking food particles like foreign invaders because to his body they WERE foreign invaders The issue wasn't removing more foods. It was fixing the barrier. What we did: Stopped all further food restriction immediately. Reintroduced foods one by one while supporting the gut lining. Bone broth daily for collagen and glycine to support mucosal repair. L-glutamine at therapeutic doses for enterocyte fuel. Removed the actual triggers: chronic undereating, excessive cardio, and 4 cups of coffee on an empty stomach every morning (this mf was basically torturing his gut). Added zinc carnosine for mucosal protection. Restored caloric intake to actual maintenance. He'd been eating 1,600 calories at 185 lbs Within 6 weeks he was eating 30+ foods again. Bloating completely gone. The 7-food prison diet that three doctors endorsed was making him sicker by starving the microbial diversity his gut needed to heal $8,400. 14 months. And the answer was to eat MORE, not less btw if you're carrying a list of "safe foods" on your phone and it keeps getting shorter, your problem probably isn't food sensitivity. Your problem is barrier integrity. I go deep on gut permeability, zonulin, and exactly how to repair barrier function on my substack. link in bio

It is time for a convention of states. Congress will never term limit itself… and as you are seeing it is broken. Too many of these cats get up to DC and hop onto the uniparty train. The problem is the uniparty doesn’t work for you! It works for special interest.
Charlie Kirk was killed with a miniature explosive likely made at Accurate Energetic Systems in Tennessee and purchased by the Department Of Defense for $425,000 in May of 2025. You can bet Steve Feinberg was very involved in the planning of his public assassination.

If you're not mad 357 members of Congress made the conscious decision to cover up sexual harassment records, you aren't paying enough attention.
