Episode 27 - Dr. Tricia Petzold, a family physician and functional medicine practitioner, discusses the importance of gut health in functional medicine. She explains that gut health is crucial for overall health, as it protects the immune system, acts as a barrier to inflammation, and influences various bodily functions! Dr. Petzold emphasizes the role of the brain in digestion and the impact of stress on gut function.

The conversation also covers the use of probiotics, prebiotics, and the five R's (remove, replace, repair, re-inoculate, and restore) for gut rehabilitation. Dr. Petzold offers her services at Pinnacle Health in Salt Lake City and conducts classes on mind-body bridging and anti-inflammatory nutrition. She encourages potential patients to attend her classes to see if her approach aligns with their needs before seeking further functional medicine consultations.
