The Leaky Gut Blood Brain Barrier Connection: How Inflammation Travels to Your Brain

Your gut barrier, skin barrier, sinus membranes, and lungs all function as critical defense systems, but when compromised, they create leaky gut and leaky blood brain barrier that trigger neurological dysfunction behind POTS, dysautonomia, and degenerative diseases. In this episode of the My POTS Podcast, host Dr. Joseph Schneider reveals the hidden barrier systems throughout your body that protect your brain from toxins, pathogens, and inflammation. Recent Research on Alzheimer's confirms that disruptions to the gut-blood barrier permit harmful metabolites to leak into the brain, playing a significant role in neuro-inflammation. Traditional medicine treats individual symptoms without recognizing that leaky gut, skin reactions, and respiratory inflammation all feed directly into blood brain barrier breakdown. Dr. Schneider explains how food particles, environmental toxins, and pathogens breach damaged barriers to create chronic brain inflammation. He shares the hydrogen therapy protocol he personally uses daily after three concussions and a stroke to reduce inflammation and protect barrier systems. This episode connects digestive issues, skin problems, and brain fog that conventional doctors miss. To learn more about comprehensive barrier protection and hydrogen therapy protocols, listen to the full episode on My POTS Podcast and visit HopeBrainCenter.com for resources on brain inflammation testing and treatment. Your brain's health depends on barriers throughout your entire body functioning properly, and understanding this connection changes everything about neurological wellness.
