This article examines the causes and symptoms of leaky guy syndrome, also known as increased intestinal permeability, and how to prevent and alleviate symptoms. Learning about a leaky gut can help someone determine if they have it and how to combat it. For instance, some chronic conditions may also be connected to leaky gut syndrome like IBS, Crohn's disease, coeliac disease, food allergies, and even type II diabetes.
Incorporating evidence from various sciences and fields like microbiology, gastroenterology, diabetes, and nutrition, this article demonstrates the many ways a leaky gut can permeate the body and how incorporating HMOs into one's routine can strengthen the gut to improve overall gut health.
This article asserts the importance of having a variety of colorful foods in one's diet and specifically the importance of red foods. Red foods contain phytonutrients that can have anti-inflammatory properties, improve gut health, lower blood pressure, and some red foods even have anti-cancer properties. Polyphenols are a well-known type of phytonutrients in red foods, but someone less known about polyphenols is that they are also prebiotics. All of these qualities show why incorporating red foods is so essential.
Boosting red food intake is very doable. It is even more doable using Simple Reds from Layer Origin. Simple Reds contains powder from beetroot, goji berry, strawberry, cranberry, and apple peel.
The SuperHMO® Prebiotic Mix is an unprecedented way to provide your gut bacteria with the prebiotics it needs to thrive. Comprised of five major types of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), this potent prebiotic powder is designed to promote the growth of over 100 strains of probiotics — and your gut will never be happier.
This guide help answer the following questions:
What are the benefits of human milk oligosaccharides?
In this article, we will use a short review conducted by Spicer et al. (2022) to understand how HMOs can fight bad bacteria.
The review investigates the bacterial resistance to antibiotics that has evolved since the 1940s when they were first prescribed and how antimicrobial properties of HMOs are being developed to combat this.
The mother’s own pathogen-specific maternal antibodies are passed to baby and offer almost instant protection in the early months of life. Consumption of HMOs results in health benefits that would not be possible without them, and their interaction with bacteria, protozoa and viruses could reduce the risk of specific infections. This article summarizes:
Hundreds of people have seen great success by following the "2-Day Core Pattern" diet protocol that is outlined in Joel Greene's 2020 book, The Immunity Code.
However, the actual menu to follow can be confusing for readers, so we put together this handy guide to explain what you should be eating during the protocol.
Stress is a reaction to so many areas of our lives, and as a result, in many cases this leads to a condition called dysmotility. It occurs because of a neurological reaction that causes the muscles or nerves within the digestive tract to become affected to the point of disruption. So, the digestive process no longer works as it should. Dysmotility leads to interruption of the absorption of nutrients and has a direct impact on how you will perform on a social and professional level. Can HMO, 2'-FL, helps with the stress-induced gut dysmotility? Read more to find out.
Can Human Milk Oligosaccharides Support Normal Bowel Function and Improve Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome? What does the clinical studies say?
Overall, the study concluded that the ingestion of a 4:1 oral mix of the HMOs, 2’FL and LNnT improved abdominal pain, stool consistency, bloating, and the severity of the condition. Not only did the study demonstrate that HMOs could improve the quality of life of IBS patients, but it was the first large-scale study to show that HMO supplementation can improve IBS symptoms.
In a review article hot off the press at Nature Reviews Microbiology entitled “Microbiome-based therapeutics”, the authors outline five primary clinical approaches currently implemented to facilitate microbiome restoration, modulation, and mimicry. These strategies are:
“The Immunity Code”, author Joel Greene outlines some of the major benefits of sleep, how many people in our society are unconsciously sabotaging their sleep, and how to optimize sleep to improve health and slow down aging.
The extent to which the microbiome is affected by antibiotic use depends on the type of antibiotic administered, with broad-spectrum antibiotics eliciting the most damage. During and after use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics, consuming foods to feed your gut bacteria, can help prevent deleterious effects on the microbiome.
Following broad-spectrum antibiotic use, the gradual introduction fermented foods, prebiotics, and diverse sources of fibers facilitates the repopulation of the gut and diversification of the microbes therein.
Three of the most studied HMOs are 2’FL, 3’SL, and 6’SL — let’s take a closer look at how these molecules impact our brain and what the research is telling us about HMOs and cognition.
2’-FL is the most abundant HMO found in human milk and was the first HMO to be added to infant formula. The 2’FL is most strongly linked to immune health, brain development, and fighting inflammation. The sialylated HMOs—3’SL and 6’SL—also are known to benefit brain health, as sialic acid is an essential nutrient to form compounds critical to cognitive function.
