Let's talk about intestinal permeability or leaky gut.

This is a situation where there are holes in your intestine and your food partner

are getting into the lymphatic system and then your immune system is going to react to it.

You're going to have all sorts of allergies, you're going to have inflammation, then you're

going to get a scar tissue.

Now, I've done other videos on this and I've talked more about certain foods that destroy

your gut lining and that cause a leaky gut, like gluten, for example, taking antibiotics,

consuming foods that are inflammatory.

But in this video, I want to talk about another control mechanism that is superior to that.

And it is the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve comes from the brainstem and it goes throughout the entire thorax into

your abdomen.

It goes down into your pelvis and it's a very long nerve and you actually have two of

them.

Okay?

And 80% of that nerve goes down and only 20% goes up.

And so we have this huge communication network between our brain and our gut.

And so the vagus nerve helps to maintain this intestinal barrier to prevent pathogens

and other things from crossing over into your body.

Now, they've done experiments on vagal nerve stimulation to show how that can protect

the gut barrier.

Now, from my experience, I don't recommend stimulating your vagus nerve.
