According to health professionals, Gut Check is an essential read for healing leaky gut and achieving optimal health
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — While science and medicine have certainly come a long way in the last 2,400 years, emerging science has proven Hippocrates was right all those years ago – all disease begins in the gut. This means our gut microbiome, including gut bacteria and the integrity of our gut lining, strongly affects our overall health. When our microbiome is out of balance, it affects our immune system, hormone levels, mental health, longevity, and our risk for developing autoimmune, heart, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.
In the latest addition to his New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series, GUT CHECK: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health (Harper Wave, January 9, 2024; ISBN: 978-0062911773; $32.00; 352 pages), Dr. Steven Gundry offers a definitive guide to the gut biome and its control over its home – us! Revealing the unimaginably complex and intelligent ecosystem controlling our health, Gut Check teaches us how to heal our gut to prevent and reverse every type of disease.
