Episode 147: All Disease Begins in the Gut with Dr. Tom O'Bryan

Dr. Tom O'Bryan drops a truth bomb that changes everything: 14 of the 15 top causes of death are chronic inflammatory diseases, and they all start in your gut. He breaks down Dr. Alessio Fasano's groundbreaking research on leaky gut, explaining the exact mechanism behind intestinal permeability and why it's pulling on the weakest link in your chain. Whether that weak link is your brain, your heart, or your joints, the root mechanism is always the same: inflammation that begins when your gut barrier fails. Dr. O'Bryan walks through his five essential tests that reveal what's actually happening in your body right now and shares why centenarians have one thing in common that most of us don't. This conversation will change how you think about recovery, testing, and what it actually takes to put the fire out.
