"A guide to improving digestive health from an expert in functional medicine. Why everything that ails us, from fatigue to weight gain to bloating and bad skin, can be traced back to the gut. Presenting a cleansing plan to help us reclaim our health. Dr. Vincent Pedre suffered from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) for years before becoming an expert in functional medicine and learning how to heal his body from the inside. His program draws from both Western and Eastern methodologies, combining integrative and functional medicine. 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 and restores the gastrointestinal system to its proper functioning state. Followers of the program 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."--Provided by publisher.
