Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between mind and body.
We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the microbiome—the microorganisms that live inside us—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health.
The Mind-Gut Connection shows how to keep the brain-gut communication clear and balanced to:
- heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet
- balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods
- promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption
- boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
- generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression
- prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome, food sensitivities and allergies, and IBS, as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating and much more.
From one of today's leading experts on the emerging science of the
microbiome comes a ground-breaking book that offers, for the first
time, evidence that the gut-microbiome plays a pivotal role in the
health crises of the twenty-first century. In his acclaimed book,
The Mind-Gut Connection, physician, UCLA professor, and researcher
Dr. Emeran Mayer offered groundbreaking evidence of the critical
role of the microbiome in neurological and cognitive health,
proving once and for all the power and legitimacy of the "mind-body
connection." Now, in The Gut-Immune Connection, Dr. Mayer proposes
an even more radical paradigm shift: that the gut microbiome is at
the center of virtually every disease that defines our 21st-century
public health crisis. Cutting-edge research continues to advance
our understanding of the function and impact of the billions of
organisms that live in the GI tract, and in Dr. Mayer's own
research, he has amassed evidence that the "conversation" that
takes place between these microbes and our various organs and
bodily systems is critical to human health. When that conversation
goes awry, we suffer, often becoming seriously ill. Combining
clinical experience with up-to-the-minute science, The Gut-Immune
Connection offers a comprehensive look at the link between
alterations to the gut microbiome and the development chronic
diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, as well as
susceptibility to infectious diseases like Covid-19. Dr. Mayer
argues that it's essential we understand the profound and
far-reaching effects of gut health and offers clear-cut strategies
to reverse the steady upward rise of these illnesses, including a
model for nutrition to support the microbiome. But time is running
out: a plague of antimicrobial resistance is only a few decades
away if we don't make critical changes to our food supply,
including returning to sustainable practices that maintain the
microbial diversity of the soil. To turn the tide of chronic and
infectious disease tomorrow, we must shift the way we live today.
Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on
the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of The
Second Brain, and The Good Gut that conclusively demonstrates the
inextricable, biological link between mind and the digestive
system. We have all experienced the connection between our mind and
our gut-the decision we made because it "felt right"; the
butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious
stomach rumbling we get when we're stressed out. While the dialogue
between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient
healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine,
Western medicine has by and large failed to appreciate the
complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the gut
microbiota-the microorganisms that live inside our digestive
tract-communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr.
Emeran Mayer, professor of medicine and executive director of the
UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary and
provocative look at this developing science, teaching us how to
harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our
health and listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies. The Mind-Gut
Connection describes: * Why consuming a predominantly plant-based
diet is key for gut and brain health * The importance of early
childhood in gut-brain development, and what parents can do to help
their children thrive The role of excessive stress and anxiety in
GI ailments and cognitive disorders How to "listen to your gut" and
pay attention to the signals your body is sending you * and much
more.
