Today on the root cause medicine podcast.

We have typically around 500 to 1,000 different species of bacteria in our gut, out of which 10 to 15% of those in a healthy gut are quote unquote bad guys, but they seem to serve some sort of purpose, same as in a rainforest has some predators

and they keep things in balance. But the key and the important thing is maintaining that

diversity because what they've found is that the more diverse your gut is than the less

inflammation you have in your body. And inflammation is like the kerosene

to the fire. It is the driving force for every single chronic degenerative disease on the planet.

If we can turn off inflammation, that is the key.

Today we're talking with Dr. Vincent Padre, the author of Happy Gut and the GUT Smart Protocol,

which is a 14-day food-based approach to healing gut conditions like Leaky Gut.

You'll love learning from Dr. Padrae about the seven different

types of leaky gut symptoms and how environmental toxicans can play a role in gut health. You'll also

love hearing about his mind-body approach to helping people heal from a multitude of chronic

conditions. Let's get into it. Before we get started, I want to talk to you about something that

comes up pretty often on this podcast, and that, of course, is lab testing. You see, testing is

one essential way to understand the root cause of an illness. If you're an integrative or

functional medicine practitioner, chances are you're placing a ton of orders with a ton of

different labs. The root cause medicine podcast is created by Rupa Health.
