Happy Gut

The Cleansing Program to Help You Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Eliminate Pain

De: Vincent Pedre

Narrado por: Patrick Lawlor

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.

Very Informative

I enjoyed how detailed this book was and explained it in a way anyone can understand. I will be following every step and hope to gain my health back.

Most irritating Narrator

I bought this book after seeing Dr Pedre interviewed in a Documentary. He is brilliant! I wanted the book so much that I didn't listen to the sample first - big mistake! I am so disappointed he does not narrate his own book. The narrator they chose has the most irritating voice and manner of speaking. The narrator reads in a manner that seems like he has no understanding of the material and its all just words to him. When he tries to inflect some emphasis into particular words it comes across stiff and forced. While I am suffering through it while commuting, it is distracting from the important info and what could have been a great audiobook with a different narrator.

Wealth of wellness information

Thank you for this book!! Great to have all this knowledge to enhance my nutrition experience.

Probably better in hard copy...

I got this book after hearing the author Dr. Vincent Pedre on a podcast, and I liked what he had to say. I'm really into the message of this book for the most part, but I think as any sort of plan to execute for 28 days, it's likely better in a hard copy of the book. I wanted to learn more about this program outside of the book, but was a little turned off that it's mostly the Dr. trying to sell his 28-day cleanse program and supplements on social media and his website. It's a fine book, but I am sure there are a ton other books out there for gut health that are just as good or better.

Great set of preventive practices

Many of us can create a more calm and effective life following patterns of eating, breathing, and thinking as laid out here. The key is to adopt the ones you feel best with daily, not wait and try to use them when you are in crisis, and already tense and distracted. Listening to the last chapter first can leas to gains to give you patience to address at least some of the more demanding dietary practices listed in earlier chapters.
