We all know sugar is bad for us, so why can't we stop eating it? A
Gut Feeling gives a personal and scientific look into the world of
microbes that live within our bodies and how they can explain our
relationship to and cravings for certain foods. Heather Wise takes
the reader through a hidden inner world of microflora that shapes
our mood, physical health, sweet cravings, and even genes. She
makes us question whether a diet high in sugary, processed, dead
foods-devoid of any microscopic life-may be causing us to feel
sick, tired and depressed. The microbiome is emerging as the answer
to many of our most sought after questions. Using her own story and
the science currently available, Wise provides a window into the
latest research on the vast world of microbes in our bodies. She
explains in simple terms how what we eat can change the expression
of our genes and how this symbiotic relationship between microbes
and human cells can determine our health. This understanding sheds
light on the fact that the genetic makeup of our bodies is more
malleable than we could have ever imagined. Wise's book gives us
the opportunity to transform our health for the better by mindfully
eating foods, herbs, and teas that improve the health of our
microbiome, and cutting down on the foods, medications, and
chemicals in our environment that are diminishing beneficial
microbes in our delicate inner ecosystem. A Gut Feeling offers
practical steps to rebalancing and healing our gut microbiome to
relieve stress, digestive upsets, inflammation, bloat, excess belly
fat, and improve mood. Wise offers a needed alternative to the
complex world of fad diets and calorie counting in this easy,
evidence-based guide for wellbeing. Rooted in scientific research
and providing a number of healthy sweet fixes high in prebiotic and
probiotic foods that support the growth of healthy gut flora, this
book is a practical guide to help heal our relationship with food
and tune into what our gut has been trying to tell us.
