    About this Episode

    In this episode of Gutsy Health, we talk with Dr. Pedre about gut health, probiotics, and how to tackle it all. It can be overwhelming trying to understand gut health because it is so widely misunderstood and this why we are so excited to have a specialist in this realm. Dr. Pedre grew up with lots of gut issues and became determined to understand it. He went through the medical school system and he has experience in other holistic health practices, including Asian practices and Yoga. Dr. Pedre talks about how the environment is affecting our gut health, how to use antibiotics, how to build up our gut health, what probiotic brands to look for, and he even links many illnesses to the gut health.

    “I know that if I can’t change the mindset at the beginning, so that the person gets into the mindset of healing, then it doesn’t matter what you do. You can do everything to perfection. You cannot bypass your healing process. In other words, you can’t be a type A person and just want to insert the right salads and nutrients… into your life and still be rushing and not do any self-care and think that you’re going to heal.” 16:06
