Glyphosate and Leaky Gut: What You Need to Know

From During the Break with Clint Powell Clint Powell

Every week I will be sharing an episode from The Holistic Navigator Podcast. I like Ed's personal podcast and maybe you will too! This podcast is not diagnosis or treat any disease or illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications.

Glyphosate is no joke. It’s a widely used herbicide that was patented as an antibiotic. It’s in our food. It’s in our soil. It’s in the air and it can wreak havoc on our bodies. Is there any escape? Can we counter it’s effects?

In this episode, Ed talks a little about the history behind glyphosate, some of the consequences of continual ingestion of this chemical and what we can do to help protect ourselves.

Some Topics We Discussed: What is glyphosate and why is it important? (1:06) What foods are exposed to glyphosate? (5:14) Why should we avoid folic acid and how does that relate to the issue of glyphosate? (8:33) What are some nutrients we can take to help counteract the disfunction caused by glyphosate? (10:25) Are there ways to make eating cleaner and healthier more cost effective? (24:26)

Key Takeaways From This Episode: Glyphosate is killing pests by a different method than just poisoning something. It is killing it by blocking this pathway, the shikimate pathway, and the one thing it blocks is the amino acid tryptophan. (3:58) Every single food today is exposed. (5:26)
