The Science of Gut Health

The current "gut health" trend has given rise to countless extreme elimination diets and unfounded fears about a variety of foods deemed 'bad for gut health, ' along with a significant health halo effect around some foods considered to have healing effects. Of course, the most extreme claims are largely the most inaccurate, so it is essential to make informed, reasoned choices about what foods and supplements to include or forego to support digestive health. Gut microbiome researchers Fundaro and Hoffman bring you a thorough, objective, scientific overview of the gut microbiome: the tens of trillions of microbes and potentially millions of genes that inhabit the human digestive
tract in a complex relationship with human physiology, health and disease. You may find that you come away with more questions than answers, but you will also come away with a vast array of knowledge and applicable interventions to effectively navigate a sea of marketing and support your health from the inside out.
