Leaky gut syndrome is an increasingly common condition, where the lining of the intestine becomes damaged, allowing harmful substances like toxins, undigested food particles, and bacteria to leak into the bloodstream. This can lead to systemic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, and a range of chronic symptoms. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a holistic approach to treat leaky gut, addressing not just the symptoms, but the root causes—so you can heal naturally and restore your digestive health.
Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, occurs when the intestinal lining becomes compromised, creating gaps between cells that allow harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. This triggers inflammation and immune responses throughout the body. The consequences of leaky gut can be wide-ranging and affect many different systems, including the digestive, immune, and hormonal systems.
The symptoms of leaky gut can vary significantly from person to person. Many individuals suffer from chronic health issues that seem unrelated, but leaky gut may be at the root. Here are some common symptoms:
If you experience these symptoms, it may be time to explore the possibility of a leaky gut and seek treatment.

At Patients Medical, we use advanced testing to determine whether leaky gut is the root cause of your symptoms. Some of the tests we use include:
We offer a multi-faceted, natural approach to healing leaky gut, focusing on reducing inflammation, restoring gut flora, and supporting the body’s detox pathways.
A personalized, anti-inflammatory diet can help heal the gut and restore balance. This may include:

Chronic stress is one of the key triggers for leaky gut. We offer natural treatments to help you manage stress, including:
We help rebalance hormones, especially cortisol, which can negatively impact gut function. Through bioidentical hormone therapy, we help optimize hormone levels to promote healing.
