## Description

Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of The Second Brain , and The Good Gut that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between mind and the digestive system. We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling we get when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has by and large failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the gut microbiota—the microorganisms that live inside our digestive tract—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection , Dr. Emeran Mayer, professor of medicine and executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary and provocative look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health and listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies. The Mind-Gut Connection describes: · Why consuming a predominantly plant-based diet is key for gut and brain health · The importance of early childhood in gut-brain development, and what parents can do to help their children thrive The role of excessive stress and anxiety in GI ailments and cognitive disorders How to “listen to your gut” and pay attention to the signals your body is sending you · and much more.

Review: Very well put together for the average Jo to understand - I really felt the need to write a review after seeing the comments posted by one of the other rather poorly supported opinionistic revieres. Ok so firstly NO this book isn't full of anecdotal information whatsoever most of the comments are grounded in factual research and if you have any kind of knowledge of this particular subject you will quickly find yourself at home with the subject matter that is covered. My main gripe with this book is that the information although factual does not pull from the newest research available nor is the work referenced (which can be frustrating if your interested in further reading). Opinions are given throughout the book but are formulated intelligently and given plentry of scientific grounding. Will you be blown away with the latest research in this book... probably not! However, will you gain a very unique perspective offered by the author surrounding most of the viable research that is available out there... most definitely! Would I recommend reading this book? If your interested in the subject of how our microbiota affects our psyche, then yes it's really worth a read.
Review: Fascinating! - I found so many answers to my health problems. Very useful information for both beginners and more experienced people in this field. Beautifully written. I will buy it as a gift for my daughters. Unfortunately they struggle with the same problems as me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating!
*by M***A on 17 April 2024*

I found so many answers to my health problems. Very useful information for both beginners and more experienced people in this field. Beautifully written. I will buy it as a gift for my daughters. Unfortunately they struggle with the same problems as me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book, but for more seasoned readers and definitely not beginner friendly
*by O***I on 9 May 2024*

This book sophisticated my knowledge about how important our gut health actually is- the fact that 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gut, along with 70-80% of your immune system cells should make this clear enough. The gut is much more complex and powerful than you would have assumed, in many ways rivalling the brain. The author Dr Emerand Mayer is one of the World’s leading experts on the Gut and the Brain-Gut Axis, with over 40 years of experience, so as you can imagine learning from him has proven invaluable. He is in many ways ahead of his time, as research over the last 10 years into the gut has increased dramatically, as the science world is finally coming to understand the true importance of our gut microbiome and its health. Also reminds us how little we know as people, and how science is still behind on many forefronts. Much more will be learned & discovered about the Gut in the next 100 years. I highly doubt most people would make it to the end of this book. Its largely written in a scientific manner, and could be hard to follow at times- its definitely not for people with beginner level knowledge, but for the more seasoned readers and those with a decent level of understanding. Overall, im glad I read this book, and I will focus on optimising my gut microbiome to aid me on my journey of becoming the best version of myself.
