He talks about the world of gut microbiomes and shares practical methods that help protect the gut lining from being damaged. He also talks about the natural techniques and strategies to restore its health when it’s already worn out or compromised. Learn the different ways we could be exposing the gut to damage, from the food we eat to the lifestyle we practice, and the potential threat it can do to the rest of our system when this damage is not reversed.    “Our gut is kind of like this large tube that's almost like an external environment in a sense that it's kinda like our skin. Our skin is part of our body but it's also a barrier that protects our bloodstream." -Dr. David Jockers   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode:   - Types of organisms living inside our gut and how to create a healthy ecosystem for these organisms   - What happens to the body when the gut lining is compromised and gets damaged   - Different ways intermittent fasting is beneficial to the gut lining   - How the secondary feeders thrive more than the primary feeders and why we want these secondary feeders to eat the mucus lining   - The best way to start with extended fasting, if you've never fasted in your life   - Natural strategies to help bring the gut back to health     Resources: - Paleovalley Turmeric Complex – Use Code JOCKERS for 15% off - Lifeboost Coffee – Click the link for 50% off - ImmunoCharge – Use Code Immune30 at checkout for 30% off Connect with Dr. Lindsey Elmore: - Website – https://engineeringmicrobiome.byhealthmeans.com/?idev_id=542     Connect with Dr. Jockers:   - Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/   - Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers   - YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers   - Website – https://drjockers.com/   - If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you! Please contact us here! - https://drjockers.com/join-us-dr-jockers-functional-nutrition-podcast/
