Personalized Nutrition for Weight Loss, Energy, and Health with Dr. Vincent Pedre

What if you could personalize your diet to help keep you in optimal health, drop the extra pounds, and feel your energized best? And what if there were a quiz that helped you determine exactly how to do it?

I’m joined this week by Dr. Vincent Pedre, medical director at Pedre Integrative Health founder/CEO of Happy Gut Life. He believes the gut is the gateway to excellent wellness, and his newest book, The GutSMART Protocol—a 14-day personalized gut-healing plan based on the GutSMART Quiz—is the culmination of years of research and clinical experience as a functional gut-health expert.

In this episode, Dr. Pedre discusses the importance of gut health in overall wellness and how a disrupted gut microbiome can lead to various health issues. He also talks about the impact of stress, diet, and environmental toxins on digestive health and provides tips on how to improve it through lifestyle changes, such as incorporating fermented foods and probiotics into the diet and reducing stress levels.

In his words, “Microbial diversity is the holy grail of your health. The more diverse your gut microbiome is, the less inflammation you're gonna have in your body.” 

We’ll answer questions like: How can getting out in nature help improve our gut microbial diversity? How can we reduce our use of antibiotics? How do fiber and fermented foods affect our gut microbiome?

Plus, you’ll learn how our gut bacteria can affect weight loss and metabolism as we discuss the exciting new research that’s emerging!
