The crucial role of Endotoxemia

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]I'd like to talk about what the science is showing us, this evolving science is showing us on the effects of endotoxmia on female reproductive health. Now recall that endotoxmia means it refers to the entry of bacterial breakdown products but specifically the lipopolysaccharide or we say LPS endotoxin that's released by fecal microbes. So recall that modern people have allowed because of our exposure to antibiotics and many other factors. We've allowed fecal microbes in the colon species like E.coli and Salmonella and seratia. Those names may be familiar because they're also causes of urinary tract infections and other infections. So they're not good microbes.

[00:00:46]Well, they've overpop populated because of our exposure to antibiotics and other factors. And in many people, I would say in roughly half the US population, those feal microbes have been allowed to ascend into the 24 feet of small intestine. Recall the small intestine is by design very permeable. It's supposed to be permeable because that's where we absorb nutrients like amino acids and vitamins and minerals. But when you have the entry, the colonization of the small intestine not well equipped to deal with hordes, billions, trillions of feal microbes in the 24 ft of small intestine, it further inflames the small intestine, increases permeability even more, and when those trillions of microbes live and die, they release some of their toxic products, specifically that endotoxin that gets into the bloodstream. Now once you hear all the effects of this phenomenon of the entry of endotoxin from the overgrowth of fecal microbes in the small intestine a process by the way we call SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO you'll see that without appreciating the impact of endotoxmia on female reproductive health you're lost and it's no surprise if you actually look closely and critically at the way things are done in conventional reproductive health for females, you'll see it's mostly just patches or band-aids or completely unsatisfactory. Now, what is a cardiologist me doing talking about female reproductive health? I'm not a gynecologist. I'm not an obstatrician. I I did training in those things many years ago. But what brought this to my attention and brought to the forefront of my attention lately is I have three new gr relatively new grandchildren, most recent within the past year. And I saw their mom receive almost no no receive no zero counseling on all the things she could do to improve her microbiome, her gastrointestinal microbiome, as well as other areas of her microbiome, especially the vaginal microbiome.
