When labs indicate intestinal permeability and microbial infection, what’s your approach to clearing and repairing? I assume you measure these with Cyrex 2 and 12, respectively.

Chris Kresser: Next question from Sandy, “When labs indicate intestinal permeability and microbial infection, what’s your approach to clearing and repairing? I assume you measure these with Cyrex 2 and 12, respectively.”

I don’t use Cyrex 12 very much. I don’t find it to be that helpful. As I mentioned with gut permeability, I don’t do that kind of testing up-front and often don’t ever need to do it. We focus on gut infections, ​H. pylori​, other pathogenic bacteria, fungal overgrowth, parasites, SIBO, of course, is a big player, and we’re covering all of that in detail, how to treat that in the gut portion of this course, and that’s definitely the focus.
