Today on the Root Cause Medicine podcast.

I wouldn't doubt that we could probably make a connection with stress and the glycopalics

and sleep in the glycocalyx, just because it's such a fundamental component not only to the endothelium,

but now we should start thinking, what is the endothelium, what does the glycopalics of liver cells look like?

Because actually there's a lot of capillaries in the liver.

All our organ systems have glyco calyx. Anytime there's a lumen that's going back and forth,

especially where blood supplies is there. So what is the consequences of losing the glycocalyx?

You're not going to have a heart attack in your liver, but what's

the effect of not having a good interface between liver cells and the blood that's flowing by them,

or the pancreas, or the kidney, the brain? All of a sudden, we start thinking, okay, and

the end of the field of the glycopacalyx is much easier to understand. We can get a grasp of it.

Hello, hello. I'm your host for today, Dr. Carrie Jones, and I am so excited to talk with my

good friend, colleague, and mentor, Dr. Tom Williams. Dr. Williams earned his PhD in molecular

immunology and has been an expert in nutritional

supplement industry for, oh my gosh, many, many years.

We talked about the insides of your arteries known as the endothelior layer, along with

something called the glycochalix.

These have gained a lot of attention since the pandemic.

The endothelial layer plays a major role in several aspects of your health, not just with

cardiovascular disease, although it's pretty critical there too.

He's here to give us the lowdown, including what we can do to improve it.

Before we get started, though, I want to talk to you about something
