FLUIDS iQ’s Dr. Aron Gonshor takes you on a deep dive into the biological underpinnings and the nuts and bolts of our Intestinal iQ™ and Metabolic iQ™ test categories, courtesy of The Human Optimization Podcast.
Part I • The Biological Underpinnings
In this first part of a 2 part series, Dr. Gonshor gives an overview of gastrointestinal physiology, focusing on the microbiome and immune balance. In addition, there is an in depth explanation of intestinal permeability and the importance of Zonulin, and its family of peptides, in the control of the intestinal intercellular space and the ‘Tight Junctions’.
