When we are young, in most cases our GI tract is healthy since we have not yet been exposed to antibiotics, yeast overgrowth, hydrogenated oils and other toxins. After our GI system has been exposed to these stressors we can develop a common problem that the literature calls 'Leaky Gut Syndrome'.

My full name is Cynthia Costa and I was born in Toronto, Canada. I come from a large, health conscious family in Canada. Both of my parents are from the Azores Islands in Portugal and they have always brought wholesome food to the table and encouraged simple remedies for healing.  My family is made of the best people I know and I am truly blessed that they are healthy and happy.
