Synopsis

Gut: An Owner's Guide is an informative, practical, and engaging introduction to this hidden-away part of the body. We tend to only pay attention to our gut when it tries to tell us something - when it feels uncomfortable or something goes wrong. This myth-busting book focuses on all aspects of gut health, so you can steer clear of Dr. Google and find out what will really make your gut happier and healthier.

Dr. Austin Chiang is a world-renowned expert in gut health and TikTok star, who believes everyone has a right to know and understand their body. He translates medical jargon into simple, clear prose, answering frequently asked patient queries, and investigating what we fear, and most misunderstand about our gut.

From what you should eat (or not) to how often you should poo, to the microbiome and the brain/gut connection - this taboo-tackling book applies science to the everyday, with simple illustrations, checklists, FAQs, and myth busters, all supported by the latest medical research. Gut: An Owner's Guide won't just help you to understand your body, it might even change your life.

This is a great intro to a fascinating subject, written with the casual reader and layperson in mind. It is almost unbelievable that we know so little about such an important part of our body (scientists know more about bees than they do about our belly-based bacteria). Our digestive system is the o......more

Ich interessiere mich sehr für das Thema "Ernährung und Gesundheit". Was und wie wir essen bestimmt, zumindest zum Teil, auch unsere Gesundheit. Das wird in diesem Buch wieder deutlich. Ich habe einiges lernen können, anderes wusste ich schon, wurde mir aber durch dieses Buch wieder bewusst gemacht.......more

LT/ENG Audio+ popierinė versija. Negaliu nepaminėti nuostabaus pasakotojos Agnės Kaktaitės balso, klausant audio! Viena iš retų audio, kuomet norėjosi grįžti ir klausyti būtent dėl balso! Linksmi aprašymai, nuotaikingi sakiniai, tarsi darželio vaikams pateikiama ant lėkštutės, ypač tiems kurie neturi v......more

Goodreads review by Roy on December 21, 2020

I began this year by reading a book about the human body by Bill Bryson. And, as it happened, this was a fateful choice. Not only does that book include a dire warning about the possibility of future pandemics, but I now find myself teaching an elementary school class on the human body. It seemed on......more
