Show Notes
At the recent Kentucky Equine Research symposium, Dr. Wendy Pearson of the University of Guelph gave a comprehensive review of Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) in horses. Since questions about LGS arise frequently, I wanted to share some of that information, as well as some additional peer-reviewed information to talk about what LGS is, and what we do and don't know about it (which, unfortunately is a lot!) So if you've heard about "leaky gut," and aren't sure what it is or what the consequences are, tune in to find out.
