A year ago, we sat down with Dr. Vincent Pedre, "America's Gut Doctor" and board certified medical doctor to discuss all things gut health. Dr. Pedre is the author of Happy Gut and The GutSMART Protocol, which outlines the latest science-based knowledge on the gut, the microbiome, and the way the environment impacts our health.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• The main causes of bloating and what to do about it
• Leaky gut: What causes it and tips to support it
• The importance of stimulating your Vagus Nerve
• Why regulating your nervous system is the key to digestion
• Low stomach acid: Signs, symptoms & how to increase it
• Breathwork and how that helped heal Dr. Pedre of gut issues
• Fermented foods: Why you should be eating them and how they compare to eating fiber rich foods
• and much more!

This conversation stems from our first hand experience trying to follow the guidance of the fitness industry and ending up with gut issues, acne, hormonal imbalances, and more. From the low quality supplements to the nutrition choices and high volume of workouts, we are convinced that FIT does not equal HEALTHY.

You'll hear our answer in the episode as well as our thoughts on the industry, what we think is and isn't working for women, fitness companies that don't care about health, companies that we love, how to find balance while trying to create a movement routine, and so much more!

We get into the juiciness around minute 11 if you want to skip the intro!

We’re going DEEP on this episode today. We’ve recently been inspired to dive more into the topics of mental health, manifestation, mindset and how the brain and gut interact. In this episode, we are sharing our personal experiences, what our goals are when it comes to changing our thoughts, and a science backed explanation of the brain-gut connection. We also review and recommend some of the books, conversations and podcasts that have inspired these conversations.
