Bestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream.
Dr Davis has connected the dots between ''gut health'' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. 1 in 3 people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine.
Super Gut shares a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only gets to the root of many diseases but improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health and promotes anti-aging and weight loss. Dr Davis provides not just the science and case studies but also more than 40 recipes and solutions. In Super Gut, he ensures readers understand the science, diagnose their gut issues, eradicate them and maintain their long-term health.
Embrace off-grid green living and imagine a more sustainable future with the original guide to self-sufficiency.
For over 40 years, John Seymour has inspired thousands to make more eco-friendly choices with his advice on living sustainably. The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency offers step-by-step instructions on everything from chopping trees to harnessing solar power; from growing fruit and vegetables, and preserving and pickling your harvest, to baking bread, brewing beer, and making cheese. Seymour shows you how to live off the land, running your own smallholding or homestead, and raising (and butchering) livestock.
In a world of mass production, intensive farming, and food miles, Seymour's words offer an alternative: a celebration of investing time, labour, and love into the things we need. While we won't all be able to move to the countryside, we can appreciate the need to eat food that has been grown ethically or create things we can cherish, using skills that have been handed down through generations. This bestselling classic is a balm for anyone who has ever sought solace away from the madness of modern life.

'She's so good, Brené Brown, at finding the language to articulate
collective feeling' Dolly Alderton
Every time we are faced with change, no matter how great or small, we
also face risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most
of us try to fight those feelings - or feel guilt for feeling them in
the first place.
In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think
we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that
it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength
and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our
true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring
purpose and meaning to our lives.
Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social
research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships,
work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up
and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees.
This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
