Welcome to Permission, a space for the conversations that ask us to come home to ourselves.
For Episode 2, I sat down with Dr. Vincent Pedre, gut health expert and integrative medicine physician.
We talk about what the body remembers, why our symptoms are rarely random, and how emotional trauma shapes the gut in ways most doctors miss.
In this conversation:
The connection between heartbreak, loss, and physical illness like SIBO and bloating.
Why trapped memories and unprocessed grief live in the body.
The placebo effect as real clinical medicine.
Vincent's own story of gut issues starting at age ten.
A teenage patient who reversed her autoimmune diagnosis through gut healing.
Energetic boundaries and how to protect your vitality.
The Zen mindset shift that changes how we move through the world.
For the woman ready to listen to what her body has been saying.
