Dr. Vincent Pedre, medical director of Pedre Integrative Health, is a board-certified internist and a Functional Medicine–certified practitioner in private practice in New York City. Dr. Pedre’s integrative medical approach combines both Western and Eastern traditions. He is a clinical instructor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and is also certified in yoga and medical acupuncture. His holistic philosophy is patient-centered and focuses on uncovering the root causes of illness to create long-term wellness. He is also the founder of Dr. Pedre Wellness, which offers health-enhancing programs, content and lifestyle products, dietary supplements, and weight loss programs. In our conversation, Dr. Pedre and I explore the critical role of gut health in overall wellness, the personalized approach outlined in his books, and strategies for optimizing gut health. He underscores the critical intersection of gut health and a productive immune system, highlights the danger of claiming that one health plan will fix all gut problems, and shares the sequence of his personalized patient protocol. He also shares his approach to dosings for prebiotics and gut healing nutrients, and shares his enthusiasm for meeting patients wherever they are in their journey toward optimal gut health.
I’m your host, Evelyne Lambrecht, thank you for designing a well world with us.
