The bestselling author of the Wheat Belly books brings his next big,
game changing idea--the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of
SIBO--to the mainstream.
Wheat Belly was a breakthrough, informing readers that the wheat and
grains we consume today are not the same wheat and grains of our
ancestors and were making us overweight and sick. In Super Gut, Dr.
Davis takes his research and findings a step further and shows that
because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of
antibiotics, our guts are is now missing so many of the good bacteria
required to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over
health, weight, mood, even behavior.
The ancient bacteria that keep our gut in alignment and our digestion
easy have been dying off, replaced by harmful microbes that don't serve
to keep us physically healthy and mentally fit. With cutting-edge
research, Dr. Davis has connected the dots between gut health and modern
ailments and complaints. There are entire species of microbes that have
disappeared, creating health issues that were uncommon one hundred, or
even fifty, years ago. A major consequence 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 readers how to eliminate bad bacteria and bring back
the missing "good" bacteria with a four-week plan to reprogram your
microbiome based on research and techniques that not only get to the
root of many diseases but improve levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy
hormone), brain health, and promote anti-aging, weight loss, mental
clarity, and more restful sleep. Super Gut explains the science
clearly and includes 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.
