The GutSmart Protocol is a book that almost everyone would find useful. In it, Author Vincent Pedre, MD explains the many diseases and symptoms that can be caused by an imbalanced gut. From IBS to IBD to migraines to eczema and anxiety, there are so many things that people experience every day that can be linked to the gut. Dr. Pedre includes a quiz that all readers should take to determine gut health. The quiz is meant to determine what foods you can and cannot eat and is also used to gauge progress as you embark on your journey to create a healthier gut.

What I appreciated about this book is that Dr. Pedre did not have strict meal plans for people to follow for the 14 day period. Instead, there are lists of foods to enjoy and to eliminate in order to find food sensitivities and allergies. He explains how to use the lists to get the most out of them.

Dr. Pedre also explains the vagus nerve and how it affects everything up to the brain. He includes breathing techniques to try to relax the gut and the vagus nerve.

Overall, this is the perfect book for anyone who doesn’t know where to start if they are having any type of health issue. The GutSmart Protocol is easy to understand and follow and includes some delicious recipes to make your gut happy.
