Quotes:

“If you have antibodies, it means you’ve been exposed, you have the disease.”

“There’s no natural immunity to this disease. So if you look at the country, conservatively, you’re talking about 20–30 million people that have Lyme disease. Unfortunately, at least half are silent. They have no symptoms.”

“We don’t realize the power we have with healing with our minds and our spirits. Don’t forget that, too.”

“When you’re walking in nature, you should always use tick spray.”

Episode Summary:

Dr. Vincent Pedre had terrible gut health when he was growing up. Constantly on antibiotics and other medication, he thought an upset stomach was ‘normal’. It wasn’t until he was in med school did he fully understand the gut microbiome and everything began clicking as to why his stomach always felt terrible. He has since been on a transformational journey where he helps his clients and patients feel great through gut-centered medicine.

Quotes:

“One day I realized, wow, 30% of my practice is all gut health. I couldn’t believe how many people out there were suffering from gut issues that didn’t know what the solutions were.”

“Fixing the gut is not super complicated, and yet, people just don’t have the tools, they don’t have the knowledge, they don’t know what to do, so they live in a state of limbo where they’re popping pills.”

“Cutting out the foods that are most inflammatory and most problematic for the gut. Dairy is high up there because 30-50 million Americans are lactose-intolerant.”

“This leaky gut issue is huge. 78% of the American population has some form of leaky gut.”
