In this groundbreaking addition to his bestselling Plant Paradox series, Steven R. Gundry, MD, presents a definitive guide to the gut biome and its profound influence on our health. He reveals the intricate ecosystem of trillions of single-celled organisms that govern our bodily functions, emphasizing that we are not the masters of our fate but rather at the mercy of these diverse microbes. Living in our guts, mouths, and skin, they communicate with each other and our bodily systems, aiming to protect us—if we take care of them first. Dr. Gundry underscores the emerging science that supports Hippocrates' assertion that all disease begins in the gut. An imbalanced microbiome can disrupt our immune systems, hormone levels, mental health, and increase the risk of various diseases, including autoimmunity, heart disease, neurodegenerative conditions, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. However, there is hope: by nurturing our microbiomes, we can heal and reverse these diseases. In his warm and authoritative voice, Dr. Gundry provides essential insights into unlocking gut health, enabling our bodies and microbiomes to function optimally. He shares groundbreaking research along with a detailed eating plan, complete with food lists and recipes, to help rebalance the microbiome. This resource equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to repair their health and reclaim their lives.
