5 Surprising Gut Issues Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease—And What You Can Do About Them

Did you know that your gut health might play a role in preventing Alzheimer’s disease? Emerging research shows that the gut and brain are deeply connected, and imbalances in the gut can trigger inflammation, disrupt brain function, and increase the risk of cognitive decline.

Here are five gut issues researchers have newly linked to Alzheimer’s—and steps you can take today to protect your brain and gut health.

Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky gut occurs when the intestinal lining becomes too permeable, allowing toxins and undigested food particles to leak into the bloodstream. This triggers widespread inflammation, which can also affect the brain, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Gut Dysbiosis

Your gut microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria. When harmful bacteria outweigh the good ones (a condition called dysbiosis), it can lead to increased inflammation and the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain—a key marker of Alzheimer’s.

Chronic Constipation

Constipation can cause harmful toxins to linger in the digestive system, potentially affecting brain health over time. Poor gut motility has been linked to inflammation and impaired brain function.

High Zonulin Levels

Zonulin is a protein that regulates gut permeability. High levels of zonulin are associated with leaky gut and systemic inflammation, which can also compromise the blood-brain barrier, allowing toxins to harm the brain.

Gut-Brain Axis Dysfunction

The gut and brain are constantly communicating through the gut-brain axis. When this communication is disrupted, it can lead to mood disorders, brain fog, and cognitive decline—all of which are linked to Alzheimer’s.
