The bestselling author of the Wheat Belly books brings his next big,
game-changing idea--how the human microbiome is evolving, and
potentially wrecking, our health, and how we can fix it.
Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of
antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that
we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over
our health, weight, mood, and even behavior.
The ancient bacteria that keep our digestion moving have been dying,
replaced by harmful microbes that don't keep us physically and mentally
fit. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut
health and modern ailments. There are entire species of microbes that
have disappeared, which creates health issues that were uncommon one
hundred, or even fifty, years ago. The result is SIBO (small intestinal
bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one
out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human
health conditions.
Super Gut shows us how to eliminate bad bacteria and bring back the
"good" bacteria with a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome. This
not only gets to the root of many diseases, but also improves levels of
oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health, anti-aging, weight
loss, mental clarity, and restful sleep. Also included are more than
forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources so you can pinpoint your gut
issues, correct them, and maintain your long-term health and well-being.
