I've been wanting for a while to explore the connection not only between the gut and the brain but also with the various mood related issues and symptoms that are common for those with thyroid conditions. We often can make the connections ourselves with our gut and digestive concerns but don't always make the connection between our gut health and things like anxiety, depression, brain fog and other cognitive and mood symptoms.
To help us understand these connections, I'm joined on the show by Dr Vincent Pedre, America’s Gut Doctor seen in First for Women, Woman’s World, Fox News, ABC, CNN, MindBodyGreen, Parade, Newsweek, Yahoo, The Gabby Reece, Dhru Purohit, Dave Asprey and now the Let's Talk Thyroid podcast.
Some of the topics covered in this conversation include:
- The connection with the gut and thyroid health/autoimmune thyroid conditions
- Understanding leaky gut and leaky thyroid.
- Gut-brain connection.
- Role of the vagus nerve in the gut-brain connection.
- Typical foods to avoid for a health gut and brain.
- Coffee and the gut (& Dr Pedre's new gut friendly coffee)
- Misdiagnosis and gaslighting of thyroid patients.
- Mood/anxiety/mental health issues.
- Practical tips for good gut-brain health.
Dr. Vincent Pedre, the Medical Director of Pedre Integrative Health and Founder of Dr. Pedre Wellness, CEO/Founder of Happy Gut Life, has worked as a nutraceutical consultant and spokesperson for NatureMD and Orthomolecular Products, and is a Functional Medicine-Certified Practitioner with a concierge practice in New York City since 2004. As the bestselling author of two books on the gut, he believes the gut is the gateway to excellent wellness. His newest book, The GutSMART Protocol — featuring a 14-day personalized gut-healing plan based on the GutSMART Quiz — is the culmination of years of research and clinical experience as a functional gut health expert. And his newest offering, Happy Gut Coffee, is a clean, toxin-free coffee that you can trust to keep your gut happy.
