If we feel run down and we want to support our immune system, most of us tend to pop some vitamins. But an incredible 70% of our immune system is in the gut, so gut health is crucial in our defence against illness. Is it possible to improve our gut health with simple changes to our lifestyle? Yes – with this essential recipe book from nutritionist and gut health expert, Kate Llewellyn-Waters. Kate explains in simple terms how our immune system and gut work, how we can help improve our immunity every day, what autoimmune conditions and allergies are, and which are the key non-food contributors to gut health and immunity, such as sunlight, sleep, mental health and exercise. The main part of the book offers 100 everyday recipes, all using accessible, supermarket ingredients and offering helpful switches or additions to suit you and your family's needs, as well as practical meal plans to make life even easier.

Kate Llewellyn-Waters, expert in nutrigenomics, explains the power of personalised diet plans based on an individual's DNA. Chapters will include the latest scientific research and will explain how our genes determine our risk of obesity and future health and what we can do when we spot our health is in danger. There's lots of advice including meal plans, recipes, and what makes for a healthy daily/weekly diet. She is a fan of the three most scientifically evidence-based diets; Low Carb, Low Fat and the Mediterranean Diet and refers to these as a great starting point to an optimal healthy eating plan. Genetic results can also help determine the level and type of exercise, and its duration and intensity that give us the best results. This book will revolutionise our thoughts and habits about the way we choose to manage our diet, health and exercise. This is a plan for life.
