This groundbreaking book by a top Functional Medicine specialist reveals that everything you put into your gut can either create serious digestive issues or fix them. Dr. Vincent Pedre understands gut problems firsthand. He suffered from irritable bowel syndrome for years before becoming an expert in Functional Medicine and learning how to heal his body through food. Dr. Pedre drew from his own experience to develop the Gut C.A.R.E. Program, an approach that draws from both Western and Eastern methodologies, combining integrative and Functional Medicine, and has a proven track record in his private practice. Now Dr. Pedre makes his plan available to everyone. This book takes readers step-by-step through Gut C.A.R.E.--Cleanse, Activate, Restore, and Enhance--which eliminates food triggers, clears the gut of unfriendly pathogens, and replaces them with healthy probiotics and nutrients that repair and heal the gut. Rather than masking symptoms with medication, he shows us how to address problems at their core. By fixing problems in the gut, followers of Dr. Pedre's program have also cured other health woes, and they have dropped excess pounds, gained extra energy, experienced the disappearance of their seasonal allergies, felt their aches and pains vanish, and improved their overall health. Complete with recipes and meal plans including gluten-free, low-fat, and vegetarian options, a 28-day full gut cleanse, yoga postures to help digestion, and inspiring examples from many of Dr. Pedre's patients.--Adapted from book jacket.

"The author of Gutbliss and one of today's preeminent gastroenterologists distills the latest research on the microbiome into a practical program for boosting overall health. Michael Pollan's widely discussed New York Times article, "Some of My Best Friends Are Germs," was just the tip of the iceberg. The microbiome--the collective name for the trillions of bacteria that live in our gut--is today's hottest medical news topic. Synthesizing the latest findings, Dr. Robynne Chutkan explains how the standard Western diet and lifestyle are starving our microbiome, depleting the "good bugs" that keep us healthy and encouraging overgrowth of exactly the wrong type of bacteria. The resulting imbalance makes us more prone to disease and obesity and negatively affects our metabolism, our hormones, our cravings, our immunity, and even our genes. But beyond the science, what sets this book apart is Dr. Chutkan's powerful three-level program for optimizing your gut bacteria for good health. Dr. Chutkan shares: Why hand-sanitizing gels and antibiotics are stripping our bodies of their natural protective systems Essential prebiotics and probiotics Recipes with ingredients that replenish the microbiome for each rehab level Cutting-edge research on the connection between the microbiome and the brain An intro to the stool transplant, the superfix for a severely troubled microbiome Dr. Chutkan is one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America today, and this is the first book to distill the research into a practical, effective plan for replenishing our microbiomes.
