The First Lady of Nutrition is proud to welcome a master of the microbiome, Dr. Kristine Gedroic. Dr. Gedroic’s personal ICU experience sparked a mission to revolutionize well-being and demystify the human microbiome – drawing from her success in treating thousands of patients with nearly every chronic condition.  Join Ann Louise and Dr. Gedroic as they dive into a discussion about mold, mycotoxins, and parasites to antibiotic overuse – the many elements compromising our immune systems. Dr. Gedroic’s book, “A Nation of Unwell: What’s Gone Wrong?” explores these challenges and describes how the health of most patients today can be recovered, without a lifetime of medication. The gut, she emphasizes, is the hub, linked to all our vital organs – including the brain, lungs, and liver. Delving into the gut-brain connection, this podcast unveils the gut’s role in neurotransmitter production and how even the simple act of meditation can regulate microorganisms.
