In today’s episode, Dr. Jockers talks about intestinal permeability, histamine issues, and lab markers we should be looking at to check for underlying problems and get to the roots of our conditions. He also talks about chronic inflammation, what triggers it, and what happens when the gut is exposed to harmful pathogens beyond what it can handle. Learn about the ideal functional range you should be aspiring for when it comes to histamine levels and intestinal permeability or when you’re looking at the blood proteins when testing for stomach acid levels. You will also learn about the important role of histamine in digestion and immune response, and the ideal range you need to maintain optimal blood protein levels.   “The intestinal lining is only supposed to allow nutrients through. When we have inflammation, it reduces the amount of mucosa in the intestines and breaks the tight junctions, and allows large, undigested food particles, pathogens and endotoxins to seep into the bloodstream. This can turn on systemic inflammation in the body." -Dr. David Jockers   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode:   - Learn the important role of the mucosal membrane in your immune response   - What gets triggered when undesirable food particles and pathogens enter the bloodstream   - Signs and symptoms of gut inflammation   - Most common things we see in people with histamine issues   - Key lab markers we should be looking at when we're testing intestinal permeability and histamine   - A very potent trigger of inflammation once released into the bloodstream   - What does a comprehensive blood analysis cover, and why might you need this?      Resources: - ACV Complex - Use Code JOCKERS for 15% off - Lifeboost Coffee – Click the link for 50% off - ImmunoCharge – Use Code Immune30 at checkout for 30% off - Histamine Testing – https://drjockers.com/histamine-testing/ - GI MAP Testing – https://drjockers.com/gi-map-stool-analysis/   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/
