Porous. Reactive. Overwhelmed? The Biology of Boundaries.

👉 Did this episode resonate? Text me — I actually read these.

In this episode, I’m talking about boundaries in the body — not just emotional or relational boundaries, but biological ones.

If you’ve been feeling porous, reactive, sensitive to everything around you, unable to regulate, or like you’re absorbing more than you can hold… this may not be a personality flaw. It may be your terrain.

We’re in a season of repair, and I want to help you understand what’s actually happening underneath the surface.

I walk you through:

• The gut lining as your first biological boundary
• How intestinal permeability (leaky gut) creates chronic immune activation
• Why histamine overload makes you feel allergic to life
• How mineral depletion affects nervous system containment
• The role of microbial diversity in strengthening or degrading your inner ecosystem
• Why motility and drainage matter just as much as “sealing the gut”

If your tight junctions are compromised, your immune system never fully stands down. If your microbiome is dysbiotic, inflammatory metabolites affect your mood, cognition, and stress response. If your minerals are depleted, your nervous system loses clarity and your cells lose their ability to hold a charge.

This isn’t woo. It’s biology.

And it’s deeply connected to how you experience boundaries in your daily life.

If you haven’t already, I recommend listening to my earlier episode where I break down the mechanisms of leaky gut and metabolic endotoxemia in detail:

Today, I expand on that foundation through a rewilding lens — restoration over war, stewardship over suppression.

If you’ve been trying to fix your body by pushing harder, restricting more, or layering supplements on top of depletion, this episode will help you zoom out and see the terrain.

Your permeability is not a failure. It’s feedback.

And biology can be restored — not through force, but through creating the right conditions.
