Beyond Digestion: How GUT Health Connects to Your Mind, Body, and Soul Do you have trouble
digesting the world around you?
The onset of digestive and gastrointestinal issues often begins in times of grief, abuse, or other major negative life events. When the mind can’t digest its reality, the body stops digesting its food—literally. In Beyond Digestion, Dr. Laura M. Brown, ND, exposes the many ways in which your gut health relates to the overall health of your mind, body, and soul. Even your mood can be a reflection of, or reaction to, what’s going on in your gut. Now, Beyond Digestion offers a clear path to break the negative cycle of many chronic health issues. Learn how to: Get to the root cause of your health problems Detoxify your gut Harmonize your sleep and body rhythms Strengthen your immune system Balance your hormones Regulate your emotions Tune in to your body’s inner wisdom Connect to your primal source of energy transformation A bold new plant-based
plan that challenges popular keto and paleo diets, from
an award-winning gastroenterologist.
The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B," illuminates in this groundbreaking book, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show--and what Dr. B preaches with his patients--is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plants. Forget about the fiber your grandmother used to take--the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss, repair leaky gut, strengthen the microbiome, optimize the immune system, reduce food sensitivities, lower cholesterol, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve brain function, and even prevent cancer. Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need, weaken the microbes, and make our system vulnerable. As a former junk-food junkie, Dr. B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained. Fiber-rich, real foods--with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes--start working quickly and maintain your long-term health, promote weight loss, and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out. With a 28-day jumpstart program with menus and more than 65 recipes, along with essential advice on food sensitivities, Fiber Fueled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health today. Digestive Intelligence: A Holistic View of Your Second Brain Digestive
Intelligence tells the fascinating story of how our
digestive systems are the centre of our bodies’ second
brain and how we think and live our emotions via our stomachs.
Not surprising when you consider there is something
equivalent to the size of a village football pitch
hiding inside our bellies--that’s the incredible
magnitude of our digestive systems. Dr Matveikova
answers the obvious questions: “How?” and “Why can this
be so?” by explaining, in straight forward layman’s
language, that the digestive system
contains more than one million neurones,
identical to those in the brain and is responsible for
producing 90% of the body’s hormone, serotonin,
the all-important hormone which makes
us feel happy and full of wellbeing. It follows that, if
our stomach is “out of sorts” we feel
irritable and lacking in energy; and those feelings
block our intellectual productivity, disorientate us and
completely change our thought patterns and physical
processes.

care, why do the majority of Americans know so little
about their causes and treatment options? Mayo Clinic on
Digestive Health is the fundamental guide for
diagnosing, managing, and treating common digestive
issues.
Every year, millions of Americans seek medical help for painful digestive health issues. Heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation are just a few of the most common offenders. But did you know simple, everyday matters, like eating habits, physical activity, stress, and certain medications, can all cause digestive issues? If you’re experiencing symptoms of an unhealthy gut, your stomach may be sending you a warning sign. In Mayo Clinic on Digestive Health, the gastroenterologists at Mayo Clinic dive into everything there is to know about digestive health. From explaining the ins and outs of gut microbiome—like why guts “go bad” and how you can improve your gut’s health—to outlining certain tests that help diagnose common digestive issues, this newly revised manual provides a constructive guide for understanding stomach and gut problems. Additionally, this book gives invaluable tips for diagnosing, treating, and preventing some of the most common digestive conditions and diseases affecting Americans today, like Crohn’s disease, diverticular disease, colorectal cancer, gallbladder disease, ulcers, GERD, celiac disease, and other food intolerances. Now with more than 300 pages of revised content following the latest medical research, the Mayo Clinic on Digestive Health will help you learn how to spot the symptoms of these common—and not so common—digestive issues.
