Happy Gut Audiobook Summary

Following the success of the bestselling Clean Gut and Wheat Belly comes this essential guide to improving digestive health from an expert in functional medicine–who reveals why everything that ails us, from fatigue to weight gain to bloating and bad skin, can be traced back to the gut, and shares his cleansing plan to help us reclaim our health.

Dr. Vincent Pedre understands gut problems firsthand. He suffered from IBS for years before becoming an expert in functional medicine and learning how to heal his body from the inside. Dr. Pedre used 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–that has a proven success record in his private practice in New York. Now, for the first time, Dr. Pedre makes his revolutionary plan for health and wellness available to everyone.

Happy Gut 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 the problem at its core to restore the gastrointestinal system to its proper functioning state. By fixing problems in the gut, followers of Dr. Pedre’s program have found that their other health woes are also cured and have lost weight, gained energy, and improved seemingly unrelated issues, such as seasonal allergies, in addition to eliminating their chronic muscle and abdominal pain.

Complete with recipes and meal plans including gluten-free, low-fat, and vegetarian options, a 28-day gut cleanse, yoga postures to help digestion, and testimonials from many of his patients, Happy Gut will help you feel better and eliminate gut issues for life.

I bought this book when it first came out in 2015 and am glad that I did to use as a reference for all the great lists it includes, as well as the self-test questions for assessing the source of your gut problems and its symptom guides. I have written all in this book in many blank spots here and there and keep it as a way to organize some of my own research on gut health, so in this way I have also turned it into a personal workbook/journal. I can't say enough for its organization and simplicity of use! In the last three years a great deal has been learned about the gut and its part in our health, but even so this book is consistent for the most part with recent science.

So excited to do this gut health plan in june! I'll be following his 28 day plan, and I'm hoping that helps alleviate some of my belly problems. I love the way this book is outlined, and I think his 28 day plan is easy to follow for those that are new.

Easy to read clear guidance however lack of balanced evidence and reasoning behind some of the theories- also feel that more information should have been given about risk or elimination/restrictive diets for those with eating disorders.

I’ve been struggling with stomach issues for almost a year now. It seems no matter what I eat, I get sick. This book has a lot of helpful information for anyone struggling with stomach problems. It discusses the most common food allergies, causes and has an in-depth explanation for just about every type of gut problem you can think of. This doctor seems to really know his stuff. The 28 day challenge looks tough but I might give it a go soon just to see if it helps. No dairy, no gluten, no sugar and no... coffee :( But if it helps me have a happy gut, it’ll be worth it!

With the quantity of microbiome diet books coming out recently, I did not have high expectations for yet another book recommended by Dr. Oz. But I was pleasantly surprised at how well Dr. Pedre covered the subject and presented interesting research findings, ideas, recipes, and approaches as well as specific recommendations for IBS and other chronic conditions. I wished there was more discussion of various pre-biotics and more specific supplement recommendations including dose and timing, as described so well in The Perfect Health Diet by Paul & Shou-Ching Jaminet.

Everything you need to know to heal your gut, plus some. There is also an interesting conversation on the brain-gut connection. The author has a line of products and indexes that you miss out on with the audio version, but the book is very informative.

I learned a lot of new information from this book, not sure I agree with everything but I did enjoy reading this book. The diet in the book would be very hard to follow.

Very good distillation of many things I've learned over 20 years, with new information I hadn't known. I think this will help a lot of people.

Everything we need to know about our gutThis book is like the summary for everything we need to know about our gut, and it is written with such brevity that it feels like a cheat sheet where only the most important information are presented.The book begins with describing the ideal state: how a healthy gut looks like. Then it takes us step by step through the whole digestive process, starting from the top (our mouth), to the middle (our gut), down to the bottom (our colon). Along the way he explains the many functions of our organs, which makes it easier to understand within the context of the digestive process.Moreover, while the first few chapters are absolute masterpieces on describing our gut and digestive system, the proceeding chapters dive straight into the practicalities: What certain types of food are made of, what to avoid and what to consume (and why), all the problems and challenges for our gut, and culminating with so many recipes for a good gut flora that takes about 1/3 of the length of the book. And all of these gems are discussed within the frame of C.A.R.E: Cleanse (remove gut irritants, infections, food sensitivities, and toxins in food) Activate (reactivate healthy digestion by replacing essential nutrients and enzymes) Restore (reintroduce beneficial bacteria for a healthy guy flora) Enhance (repair, regenerate, and heal the intestinal lining).Now, while there are so many great knowledge that I’ve learned from this book, there are some that stand out more than the others. These are the selected few:"Between the antibiotics, eating the wrong foods that feed the bad organisms, the toxins you are exposed to in your environment, and the resulting dysbiosis, over a period of days to months you develop a leaky gut. This leakiness or “hyperpermeability” exposes your body to partially digested protein molecules from food. The immune system does not recognize these so it attacks, which results in food sensitivities. You might not even be aware of these sensitivities, which can manifest as hives, allergies, chronic sinus inflammation, and migraines and become the triggers for irritable bowel syndrome and autoimmune disease.""“Leaky gut” is not a diagnosis but a process, a description of the underlying pathology of numerous diseases that we treat yet have failed to find a cure for. It is a condition in which connections between the cells that line the inside of the intestines (known as tight junctions) become looser, allowing larger molecules (such as partially digested food particles) to pass through the gut wall. Usually, properly digested food is absorbed directly through the cell wall, but in a leaky gut, the pathway between the cells is opened up, exposing the gut-associated immune system to a wide variety of substances our immune cells would otherwise not come into contact with.""Your immune system is constantly patrolling the gut border for anything it does not recognize in order to prevent an all-out invasion. As the immune system encounters these escaped particles, it attacks. And in individuals with a genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases, this increased load on the immune system leads to the type of dysregulation that becomes an autoimmune disease. As you are exposed to large protein molecules in a leaky gut from the incompletely digested foods you eat on a daily basis, you develop immune reactions to those foods.""Often a diet rich in the foods that you are sensitive to, in combination with a leaky or hyperpermeable gut, leads to fluid retention and inflammation and, as a result, weight gain. People who are very food sensitive often lose five to six pounds in the first week after removing these foods from their diet.""Even when you restrict yourself stringently by following one of the popular diets, including limiting calories or carbs, or monitoring carb-fat-protein ratios, your food sensitivities will make it very difficult to lose weight. When you remove the foods that are “toxic” to your body because they activate your immune response, weight loss happens naturally."Because if there is one thing that nearly all modern diseases have in common, it is inflammation. And it underlines the importance of this book, since many metabolic diseases, including inflammation, begin in the gut.
