Pedre is the Medical Director of Pedre Integrative Health and Founder of Dr. Pedre Wellness, nutraceutical consultant for NatureMD, and a Functional Medicine-Certified Practitioner in private practice in New York City since 2004. He wrote the book, “Happy Gut”—which has helped thousands resolve their gut-related health issues.Happy GutAt first glance, it doesn't seem like there'd be a strong connection between gut health and hormone health. I mean, they're entirely different areas of the body, aren't they? Actually, not so much. As a functional medicine doctor and the author of Happy Gut, I can tell you that they are actually more connected than you could possibly imagine. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that one can't be healthy without the other. So whether you're dealing with a hormone health issue or a gut health issue, the information below is critical to getting your health back. The Gut-Hormone Connection During our initial consultation, my 34-year-old patient Jennifer brought up a host of health issues that were making her feel less-than-optimal on a daily basis. Over the past year, Jennifer had gained about 20 pounds and began suffering from irregular periods, frequent mood swings, and almost constant sugar cravings. Her frustration was obvious and understandable. After some testing, I was able to confirm that Jennifer had estrogen dominance, which is when there is too much estrogen circulating throughout the body over the course of the monthly menstrual cycle.Estrogen isn't inherently bad — in fact, it plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin, strong bones and muscle, heart health, brain and mental health, and reproductive health — but like all hormones, it's important that it stays in balance with other hormones, like progesterone. So where does the gut come into the picture? Well, gut health issues can actually be the underlying cause of high estrogen levels, which causes estrogen dominance and the all-too-common symptoms Jennfier and so many others experience. Gut Dysbiosis and Estrogen Dominance Dysbiosis occurs when there is a bacterial imbalance in the gut microbiome that allows “bad” bacteria to overgrow and crowd out beneficial probiotic organisms.Dysbiosis has been connected to dozens of illnesses, including metabolic diseases like diabetes but also inflammatory and autoimmune diseases — and estrogen dominance is no exception.When the gut microbiome is imbalanced, it can allow metabolized estrogen to be released and recirculate back into the body.For example, studies have shown that when the gut is imbalanced, it can lead to a greater number of gut bacteria that produce beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme that actually REACTIVATES estrogen that has already been metabolized. When these bacteria increase, estrogen also increases.Researchers have even linked unhealthy microbiome alterations to estrogen-positive breast cancer. Estrogen Elimination and Constipation Another important link between hormones and gut health lies in the simple process of elimination (Yes, by that I mean pooping!).If you're not having regular bowel movements (you should be having at least one a day) hormones like estrogen can sit around too long and end up back in circulation in the body instead of eliminated.Unfortunately, getting digestion moving again if you have estrogen dominance is easier said than done. Why? Because ironically, estrogen dominance can cause constipation, which creates a self-perpetuating cycle of estrogen dominance —> constipation —> more estrogen dominance —> more constipation. You can see how this could quickly snowball and be hard to reverse. The good news is that by making smart and impactful lifestyle changes you can reverse the cycle and get your gut health and hormone health back on track. Balance Hormones by Optimizing the GutBy focusing on rebooting gut health and getting her digestion moving, Jennifer was able to rebalance her estrogen levels. These days, she's enjoying plenty of energy, regular periods, and has been able to maintain her weight.So, how exactly did she get there? Balancing hormones by optimizing the gut can be a multi-step process, but here are a few key tips to get you started: Hydrate: Drinking more water can help keep digestion moving and prevent constipation. (You can join the Gutsy Girl hydration challenge here.)Reduce stress: Chronic stress has proven detrimental effects on gut and hormone health. I recommend daily meditation practice to help root yourself in the present moment.Eat fermented foods: Fermented foods contain beneficial bacteria that help rebalance the gut. Here's how to get started with fermentation at home.Support detox: Properly detoxing estrogen is the key to rebalancing hormones. My HAPPY GUT® CLEANSE SHAKE is designed to support efficient detoxification and is formulated with a specific blend of nutrients to restore the gut.Ditch the sugar: Sugar is a known hormone-disruptor and it can increase inflammation in the gut, as well as allow sugar-eating bacteria to overgrow and crowd out beneficial probiotics. If you want better hormone balance through a healthier gut, try to eliminate sources of added and refined sugar in your life. The gut and hormonal health systems might seem unrelated at first, but as you can see now, they couldn't be more intricately connected.The good news is that once you make these changes, you can reverse that negative cycle and turn it into a positive one. As your gut health improves, your hormones improve, and as your hormone health improves, your gut health improves.Pretty soon, you'll be enjoying balanced moods, regular bowel movements, and radiant health that will have friends, family and coworkers stopping to curiously ask, “What are you doing differently?”!

Pedre, Medical Director of Pedre Integrative Health and President of Dr. Pedre Wellness, is a Board-Certified Internist in private practice in New York City since 2004. His philosophy and practices are a blend of both Western and Eastern medical traditions. He is a Clinical Instructor in Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, as well as certified in yoga and Medical Acupuncture. His unique combination of medicine is best described as integrative or defined by a functional, systems-based approach to health. With his holistic understanding of both sides of the equation, he can help each patient choose the best course of action for their ailments to provide both immediate and long-term relief. His holistic approach incorporates positive, preventative health and wellness lifestyle choices. Dr. Pedre Wellness is a growing wellness platform offering health-enhancing programs, along with informative social media and lifestyle products, such as dietary supplements, books and weight loss programs.   Dr. Pedre completed his pre-med training at Cornell University in 1995, where he was honored as a Cornell National Scholar, the highest honor given to entering freshmen, and attained a B.A. in Biology with Distinction in all subjects, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1999, under a scholarship awarded by the Board of Trustees for his achievements as an undergraduate and future promise as a doctor. Upon graduation from medical school, Dr. Pedre’s training and aspirations brought him to New York City, where he completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 2002. September 11, 2001 was a day that impacted the hearts and souls of many. Having completed his residency in the aftermath of 9/11, Dr. Pedre felt a strong connection to this event. Consequently, he dedicated a year to researching the potentially toxic effects of the environmental pollutants on the recovery workers following this great tragedy. His work contributed to “The World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program,” which is ongoing at Mount Sinai Hospital in the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine. This program is an environmental medicine research project primarily focused on studying respiratory and psychiatric disease as a consequence of the disaster. After this incredible experience, Dr. Pedre sought to bring his dream of the ideal medical practice to fruition. Convinced that the ideal method of practicing medicine combines the strengths of both Eastern and Western methodology, Dr. Pedre attended a yoga teacher-training in 2002 and underwent additional specialty training in Medical Acupuncture in 2003-4. With these trainings, he acquired knowledge of Eastern philosophy, meditation and the ancient healing arts in order to offer the broadest perspective and choices to his patients. Upon completion, Dr. Pedre could not find his dream in any existing practice, so instead of settling for less, he made his vision a reality and created Pedre Integrative Health in July 2004. Dr. Pedre is a sought-after speaker and writer on sustainable health, prevention, and integrative and functional medicine. His expertise and informative commentator style has taken him beyond the boundaries of his private practice to appearances on the Martha Stewart Show, where he presented a segment on “The Top Medical Screening Tests” everyone should have, and to features on Sirius XM Radio’s “Doctor Radio” show, interviews on “The Gary Null Show” on Progressive Radio Networks, and guest blogs on Ecomii and Yahoo! Green, Yahoo!’s leading wellness blog platform. He is also an activist on the issue of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas extraction and its potential impacts on public health and the environment, including water contamination and air pollution.   Dr. Pedre maintains hospital privileges at Mount Sinai Hospital and his practice is located at 120 E. 56th Street, Suite 530, New York, NY 10022.   Topics discussed:   Meditation and breathing Mental, Physical and Emotional aspects of Gut Health Functional and Integrative medicine Vincent’s personal struggles with gut sensitivity and IBS The power of the mind and positive thinking Vincent’s favourite yoga pose for digestion Stress and Gut Health Making a commitment to yourself and setting priorities  Eating for how you want to feel and function Happy Gut: The Cleansing Program to Help you Lose Weight, Gain Energy and Eliminate Pain https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Gut-Cleansing-Program-Eliminate/dp/0062362178 Feeling emotions in the gut health Gut Brain Connection Dr Vincents Gut Care Program  The Dangers of Genetically Modified Foods and Pesticides Fermented Foods Cleansing “bad microbes" Water quality Supplements for Gut Cleansing Cleansing the mind of negativity via Gratitude  Gratitude Journalling Activating the Digestive System Restoring the Gut Microbiome from Dysbiosis Impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota revealed by a comparative study in children from Europe and rural Africa   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20679230?dopt=Abstract&holding=npg   Creating a diverse microbiome Short chain fatty acids - butyrate  "You are what you eat ate" Enhancing a healthy gut lining - Glutamine, DGL,  Aloe Juice Quercentin bioflavonoids- boosting Akkermansia muciniphila for reducing histamine Green tea for detoxification and reduced risk of breast cancer  Dr Vincent’s top tip for Gut Health    Brought to you by:   Nourishme Organics- Gut Health Super Store- Shine from the Inside   Shop Gut Health- 10% off using code:  vincent   Digestive Enzymes   https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/collections/digestive-enzymes   Probiotics   https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/collections/probiotics   Prebiotics   https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/collections/prebiotics     Allele Microbiome- Gut Microbiome Testing   Shop Microbiome Stool testing (10% off Gut Explorer Pro using code: gutlove)    https://www.allele.com.au/collections/frontpage/products/gut-microbiome-analysis     Connect with Dr Vincent Pedre:   Website- https://pedremd.com/    Connect with Kriben Govender:  Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/kribengee/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/kribengovender/ Youtube- https://www.youtube.com/c/Nourishmeorganics?sub_confirmation=1 Gut Health Gurus Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nourishmeorganics/     Download links                 If you enjoyed this episode and would like to show your support:   1) Please subscribe on Itunes and leave a positive review     Instructions:   - Click this link  https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/gut-health-gurus-podcast/id1433882512?mt=2   - Click "View in Itunes" button on the left hand side - This will open Itunes app - Click "Subscribe" button - Click on "Ratings and Reviews" tab - Click on "Write a Review" button     2) Subscribe, like and leave a positive comment on Youtube   https://www.youtube.com/c/Nourishmeorganics?sub_confirmation=1   3) Share your favourite episode on Facebook, Instagram, and Stories 4) Let your friends and family know about this Podcast by email, text, messenger etc   5) Support us on Patreon for as little as $5 per month and get same day, early access to our latest podcasts (typically around 4 to 6 weeks earlier than the general public) https://www.patreon.com/nourishmeorganics   Thank you so much for your support.
