GREY MATTERS OF CARMEL CAN HELP ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH
LEAKY GUT SYMPTOMS AND ROOT CAUSES.
Your gut and brain share a close relationship. The two are there for one another, openly communicating when something isn’t quite right. But just like any deep connection that blends into mutual dependency, they inherit each others’ stress and ailments. Your digestive tract takes on stress while your mind is hyper-aware of any digestive burden. Leaky gut syndrome is one such burden that sets a cycle of dangerous symptoms and disease to your body and mind.
WHAT IS
LEAKY GUT?
Within your digestive tract is a very thin lining of cells that acts as a protective barrier to control the passing of substances from the gut into the blood. Leaky Gut happens when this gut lining has cracks or holes in it, allowing partially digested food, toxins, and bugs to penetrate the tissues beneath it and leak into the bloodstream.
This may trigger inflammation and changes in the normal bacteria which leads to problems within the digestive tract and beyond. As a result, it causes the body to identify specific foods as threats and create an allergic response.
CAUSES:
The diet which we take in contains high amounts of sugars or fats which are the leading cause of gut leakage. Other possible causes include excessive alcohol consumption, stress, bacterial imbalance, antibiotics, food allergies, and gastrointestinal infections.
“Your gut is linked to nearly every facet of your health, from your immune system to your mood.”
“Some pain you can distance yourself from, but a migraine sits right where you live.”
Did you know that over 70% of neurotransmitters are made in the gut? Did you also know that more immune cells are in your gut than the rest of your body combined?!? The gut is literally your “second brain”. No other system in the body is more sensitive to changes in gut bacteria than the central nervous system. This explains the butterflies in your gut when you’re nervous or that gut feeling you have when meeting someone new.
10 Ways to Repair Your Beautiful Gut:

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE
LEAKY GUT SYNDROME?
Your symptoms can tell you alot, but if you want to know for sure – schedule an intake appointment with Grey Matters of Carmel. We will conduct a Brain Map and a GI Map to check how these two power houses are working together…or not working together.
A Brain Map is a simple, painless way to see how the brain’s electrical system is working. You will sit comfortably in our chair as we apply a Free Cap (think spider web) to your scalp. On our webbed cap, there are sensors intricately placed at precise locations on your head to read the electrical signals and record the activity. Once this data is analyzed, we will call to schedule your Brain Map review. This is often done with the Gi-Map review to save you time.
A Gi-Map is done with a stool sample. Don’t worry – we won’t ask you to poop on command. You will take a kit home with you to provide a sample at your earliest convenience. Once this is collected, you will either call FedEx for a pickup from your home or take it to the nearest FedEx facility. Approximately 10 days later your results will be in and we will call to schedule your Gi-Map review. This is often done with the Brain Map review to save you time.
