Porous. Reactive. Overwhelmed? The Biology of Boundaries.

Lately I’ve been hearing the same words:

Porous.
Reactive.
Overwhelmed.
Like there’s no container.

Most people assume this is emotional. Energetic. Psychological.

But what if it’s biological?

In this episode of the Rewilded Wellness Podcast, I’m talking about boundaries in the body — not metaphorically, but mechanistically.

Your gut lining.
Your mucosa.
Your immune tolerance.
Your histamine load.
Your mineral patterns.
Your microbial ecology.
Your motility and drainage.

These are not abstract concepts. They are the systems that determine:

What gets in.
What stays out.
What moves.
What stagnates.
What triggers alarm.

When those systems are compromised, the experience isn’t just digestive. It can look like anxiety, reactivity, immune flares, skin issues, overwhelm, or feeling like you absorb everything around you.

In this episode, I walk through:

• Why permeability changes how you experience stress

• How histamine and immune signaling affect regulation

• Why minerals influence containment

• How microbiome shifts degrade or reinforce boundaries

• Why restoration requires stewardship, not war

If you haven’t yet listened to my deeper dive on intestinal permeability, start there:

We begin with onboarding and lab assessment now so your results are ready for sessions in a few weeks.

I keep enrollment limited so I can stay deeply engaged with each client. When the five spots are filled, enrollment closes.
