Nikki Burnett, MS MNT CNTP and Matt Rowe, CHC Discuss Gut Health, Gut Permeability and the Protein Zonulin Identity of Health

Nikki and Matt discuss gut health, gut permeability & the protein Zonulin. 

When we add toxins to our bodies through food, environment, and stress, it is creating an overproduction of the hormone Zonulin. Zonulin is a protein that modulates the permeability of tight junctions between cells of the wall of the digestive tract. These toxins and stressors are causing permeability in our gut and leading towards an inflammatory response. When we increase inflammation, we increase our immune response which is leading to autoimmune conditions. 

Learn about ways to control this response and improve our health by removing the toxins in and around us. 



About Nikki Burnett

Nikki works with ambitious professionals to help them overcome hidden barriers to both health

and success. What many people don’t realize is challenges such as chronic stress, brain fog, low

energy, and stubborn chronic issues frequently have their root in unhealthy foods and unknown

inflammatory conditions. I help people tailor their food to their unique biochemical makeup

and lifestyle needs so they can feel great, thrive, and do more of what they love.

Functional nutrition is based in the science of functional medicine. The goal is to understand

the body through functional lab testing, genetic testing, environmental factors, stress, and

lifestyle.

Nikki works with a number of different conditions including:

• Fertility (men & women)

• Hormonal balance (men & women)

• Gut dysfunction

• Autoimmune conditions

• Blood sugar balance

• Cardiovascular health

• Weight management

• Nutrigenomic analysis

• General health & wellness
