Writer's picture: Meghan MillerMeghan Miller

Do you suffer a variety of symptoms and have never been able to identify the underlying cause? Have most treatments felt like bandaids to symptom management rather than treating the root? Do you experience lung, skin and digestive symptoms? You may have a Leaky gut.


What are Leaky Gut Symptoms?


  • Lung issues: asthma, allergies

  • Digestion: bloating, gas, constipation/ diarrhea

  • Food intolerances: food allergic reaction

  • Hormone imbalance: PMS, hormonal acne, headaches, irregular menstruation

  • Chronic fatigue, brain fog

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Skin issues: acne, rosacea

  • Candida overgrowth

  • Inflammatory bowel disease: colitis, crohn’s, celiac


Leaky Gut Syndrome is a term used to describe the effects of toxins getting through the gut into our bloodstream - causing a host of negative symptoms. Leaky gut is often caused by chronic stress, antibiotic overuse, and poor diet.


Some of the causes of Leaky Gut Syndrome are:


  • Chronic unmanaged stress

  • Candida overgrowth

  • Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)

  • Parasites

  • Environmental toxins (BPA, mercury, alcohol, medications etc)

  • Inflammatory foods (diary)



At Meta Health, our Leaky Gut treatment includes a vigorous plan combining acupuncture, dietary, lifestyle and supplementation to eliminate toxins and stress, detox, and rebuild the microbiome in our gut. When we have a healthy gut, we have healthy immunity.


The best way to identify inflammation, infection, toxins and parasites is with our GI Effects Comprehensive Profile. Our trained functional medicine specialists and acupuncturists will work with you to create an individual care plan using natural therapies like multi-strain probiotics, bone broth recipes, metabolic cleanses and Omegas to heal the gut.
