When you're feeling under the weather, there's nothing quite like a warm, comforting bowl of soup. This intestinal permeability soother is packed with bone broth, vegetables, and herbs that are all known for their gut-healing properties. Simmered together for 30 minutes, the ingredients release their nutrients and flavors, creating a broth that is both soothing and restorative.
The gut is a complex and fascinating organ system that plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. It's responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. Unfortunately, our gut can also be damaged by a variety of factors, including stress, poor diet, and certain medications. When the gut is damaged, it can lead to a condition called intestinal permeability, which is when the lining of the gut becomes leaky and allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This can lead to a variety of health problems, including food sensitivities, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammation.

Why It Works
Bone broth is a rich source of collagen, which is a protein that helps to heal and seal the gut lining.
Carrots, celery, and onion are all high in fiber, which helps to bulk up stool and promote regular bowel movements.
Garlic is a natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.
Oregano and thyme are both herbs that have been shown to have gut-healing properties.
