Your gut microbiome is the centerpiece of your overall health. When it falls out of balance, that causes ripple effects leading to wide-ranging issues that are not just digestive.
Unfortunately, your gut is highly sensitive to environmental toxins. Especially toxins that make their way in through the food supply, like glyphosate and other pesticides. Other types of toxins, like heavy metals and endocrine disrupting chemicals, also negatively impact your gut microbiome and your immune responses.
That’s why it’s so important for you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family. Those crucial actions can reduce exposure and help support your body’s own natural detox pathways.
Doing everything in your power to ward off toxins will help keep your gut microbiome in healthy balance and support a healthy immune response.
Toxins Are Everywhere
Our world has been invaded by toxins. They’re in our air, water, food, houses. They’re in our shampoo and furniture and kids’ toys.
Glyphosate is one of the most widespread toxins. Despite concerns about the harm it can do, it’s the most used pesticide in the world.[1] It covers more than 70% of the crops in the U.S. And at least 81% of Americans have been exposed to it.[2]
This toxic chemical infects a lot of foods you’d never expect including:
- Granola bars
- Hummus
- Orange juice
- Breakfast cereal
- Tortilla chips
- Whole wheat pasta
- Eggs
- Black beans
- Almonds

Trace amounts of glyphosate have even been found on organically grown foods due to drift. But their glyphosate load is much lower than conventional foods.
And glyphosate is not the only widespread toxin you’re regularly exposed to. Other common toxins include heavy metals and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and they can be found in unexpected places too. Heavy metals can contaminate things like rice, shellfish, herbal supplements, and hair dyes. EDCs are found in cosmetics and personal care products, food packaging, and cheese.
And all of this exposure can take a big toll on your gut health.
How Toxins Damage Your Gut
Your gut comes lined with a protective barrier. That lining is designed to allow only healthful substances like nutrients into your bloodstream while blocking harmful substances like bacteria and toxins from getting through.[3] When that barrier is working properly, it acts like an internal shield.
Unfortunately, your gut barrier is vulnerable to toxins. Especially the ones that come through your digestive system. It’s also weakened by pathogenic bacteria and the compounds they produce: lipopolysaccharides, or LPS toxins. When barrier integrity starts to fail, all the harmful substances that are supposed to stay locked in sneak through. Those toxins and pathogens enter your bloodstream, triggering all sorts of immune system reactions.[4]
Toxins like glyphosate, EDCs, and heavy metals all disrupt your gut microbiome, the trillions of bacteria in your gut.[5,6] They kill off beneficial probiotic bacteria but let pathogens grow unchecked.[7] And when pathogens outnumber probiotic bacteria, they attack your gut barrier and overwhelm your immune system with LPS toxins.[8]
7 Ways to Fight Back Against Glyphosate and Other Toxins
The volume of toxins around us can feel overwhelming, but there’s a lot you can do to support your natural defenses. By taking proactive steps you can support your gut barrier immune system strength and resilience.
These actions fall into two basic categories: reducing your exposure to toxins and supporting your body’s natural detox processes.
Reduce Exposure
- Prioritize organic and non-GMO foods whenever possible. Even though they may still have trace amounts of glyphosate or other pesticides, that amount will be minute compared to the same conventional foods.
- Opt for glass or metal instead of plastic when you can. Plastics contain EDCs and other toxins that can leach into your system, especially when they come into contact with food.
- Get an air purifier for your home. Many toxins are airborne, and purifiers can clear up to 99% of toxins out of the air you breathe. Our favorite is Air Doctor because it removes more pollutants than ordinary purifiers.
- Add plants into your home. Plants act as natural detoxifiers, converting airborne toxins into fresh, clean oxygenated air.
- Use natural cleaning products and personal care products. You can find toxin-free products on the EWG-Verified list.
Support Natural Detox
- Eat liver-supporting foods. Your liver is crucial to your body’s detox system. You can nourish your liver by increasing your intake of antioxidant-rich foods like green leafy vegetables, berries, green tea, and cruciferous vegetables. Add in more healthy fats like olive oil and fatty fish like salmon, and prioritize whole foods over processed foods whenever you can.
- Add immunoglobulin support. Immunoglobulins (also called antibodies) are your immune system’s first line of defense against harmful substances. They work constantly to identify, neutralize, and eliminate toxins. But near-constant exposure to toxins like glyphosate can overwhelm even the healthiest immune system. And when contact with environmental toxins every day is practically unavoidable, your body needs extra help to clear them out.
The best support comes from supplemental serum-derived bovine immunoglobulins. These clinically proven immunoglobulin supplements work exactly like your body’s own frontline soldiers. They bind to toxins, defuse them, and safely escort them from your body.[9] Research shows that serum-derived bovine immunoglobulins support gut barrier integrity and function.[10,11] They support your immune system’s natural ability to keep you healthy and safe from a wide variety of toxic threats.[12]
Taking these proactive steps will aid you and your family in the fight against the unavoidable toxins, like glyphosate, that you come into contact with every day.
