In his book “The Gutsmart Protocol: Revitalize Your Health, Boost Your Energy, and Lose Weight in Just 14 Days with Your Personalized Gut-Healing Plan,” Dr. Pedre emphasizes the importance of the gut as the foundation for total wellness.
Dr. Pedre’s book is based on over a decade of working with patients on gut health issues. He aims to help individuals understand the underlying root causes of various symptoms they may experience in their bodies beyond just related to gut health but also affecting other areas like migraines, allergies, fatigue, and joint pain. By making dietary changes such as avoiding wheat, gluten, dairy, alcohol and sugar people can notice improvements in their gut health almost immediately.

Dr. Pedre recommends small changes like reducing sugar intake to less than 25 grams per day can have a significant impact on overall health. Practices like meditation and breathwork can also contribute to better gut health.
