Your gut is astonishingly clever. It contains millions of neurons - as many as you would find in the brain of a cat - and is home to the microbiome, trillions of microbes that influence your mood, your immune system, and even your appetite.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Mosley takes us on a revelatory journey through the gut, showing how junk food and overuse of antibiotics have wiped out many good gut bacteria, leading to a modern plague of allergies, food intolerances, and obesity.
Drawing from the latest cutting-edge research, Dr. Mosley provides scientifically proven ways to control your cravings, boost your mood, and lose weight by encouraging a more diverse microbiome and increasing the good bacteria that keep you healthy.
Packed with delicious, healing recipes, meal plans, checklists, and tips, The Clever Guts Diet includes all the tools you need to transform your gut and your health, for life.

Introduces basic principles and mechanisms, covers new
developments, and provides a different view of the main facets of
bioelectrosynthesis Bioelectrosynthesis represents a promising
approach for storing renewable energy or producing target chemicals
in an energy-sustainable and low-cost way. This timely and
important book systemically introduces the hot issues surrounding
bioelectrosynthesis, including potential value-added products via
bioelectrochemical system, reactor development of
bioelectrosynthesis, and microbial biology on biofilm communities
and metabolism pathways. It presents readers with unique viewpoints
on basic principles and mechanisms along with new developments on
reactor and microbial ecology. Beginning with a principle and
products overview of bioelectrosynthesis, Bioelectrosynthesis:
Principles and Technologies for Value-Added Products goes on to
offer in-depth sections on: biogas production and upgrading
technology via bioelectrolysis; organic synthesis on cathodes;
chemical products and nitrogen recovery; external electron transfer
and electrode material promotion; and the microbiology of
bioelectrosynthesis. Topics covered include: hydrogen production
from waste stream with microbial electrolysis cell; microbial
electrolysis cell; inorganic compound synthesis in
bioelectrochemical system; microbial growth, ecological, and
metabolic characteristics in bioelectrosynthesis systems; microbial
metabolism kinetics and interactions in bioelectrosynthesis system;
and more. * Comprehensively covers all of the key issues of
biolelectrosynthesis * Features contributions from top experts in
the field * Examines the conversion of organic wastes to methane
via electromethanogenesis; methane production at biocathodes;
extracellular electron transport of electroactive biofilm; and more
Bioelectrosynthesis: Principles and Technologies for Value-Added
Products will appeal to chemists, electrochemists, environmental
chemists, water chemists, microbiologists, biochemists, and
graduate students involved in the field.
