About the Book
The Mind-Gut Connection: How the Hidden Conversation Within Our Bodies Impacts Our Mood, Our Choices, and Our Overall Health
Welcome to our Simply Well Chiropractic book club! This month, we’re diving into “The Mind-Gut Connection” by Dr. Emeran Mayer, a groundbreaking exploration of the profound relationship between our brain and gut.
In this book, Dr. Mayer, the Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, combines cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome to provide a practical guide that underscores the inseparable link between mind and body. We’ve all felt it—the gut-wrenching anxiety before a big event or the instinctive decision that just “felt right.” Ancient healing traditions like Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine have long recognized this dialogue between the brain and gut. However, Western medicine is only beginning to appreciate the complexity and significance of this communication.
Dr. Mayer’s revolutionary insights teach us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take control of our health. You’ll learn how to:
- Heal your gut with a plant-based diet.
- Balance your microbiome through fermented foods, probiotics, fasting, and reducing sugar and processed foods.
- Promote weight loss by detoxifying and optimizing digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Boost immunity and reduce the risk of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
- Cultivate a happier mindset and alleviate fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression.
- Prevent and heal GI disorders, food sensitivities, allergies, and digestive discomfort.
Join us as we explore how maintaining a clear and balanced brain-gut communication can revolutionize our health and well-being. Let’s embark on this journey together, learning practical strategies to improve our lives through the mind-gut connection.
