And we are going to switch things up a little bit. If you’ve been listening to this show for a while, you’ll know that I have cycled through a few different formats over the years. Initially I did single-topic episodes where we dive deep on a particular topic, then I did some Q&A shows where I would answer multiple questions from listeners. I’ve always done some interviews, and that’s of course what I’ve focused on over the past several months. It’s been almost exclusively an interview show. And I am going to now do some Q&As again.

My online research hasn’t turned up much, and I thought I would ask. If the answer is no, could you please explain why? Thank you. Chris Kresser: Okay, thanks again, Kent. That’s a really good question. It’s one that we get in various forms quite often and it’s something I’ve been talking about a lot lately in my clinician training program. I’d love to cover some of the highlights at least briefly in the show.

The basics of intestinal permeability

So before we dive into the nitty-gritty about testing for intestinal permeability, I just want to cover a few basics of what intestinal permeability is for those that aren’t as familiar with i...
