Publisher's summary

In this groundbreaking addition to his New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series, Steven R.Gundry, MD 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 and teaching us how to heal our guts to prevent and reverse every type of disease.

We may believe that we are the masters of our fates, but in reality, we are at the mercy of hundreds of trillions of single-celled organisms that exert control over every aspect of how our minds and bodies function. These are the diverse species of microbes living in our guts, mouths, and skin that work together synergistically to communicate with each other and with every system in our bodies. You are your microbiome’s home, and it wants to take care of you, but first you have to protect it.

In Gut Check, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals the emerging science proving that Hippocrates was right—all disease begins in the gut. When our microbiomes are out of balance, it affects our immune systems, our hormone levels, our mental health, our longevity, and our risk of developing autoimmunity, heart, and neurodegenerative disease, as well as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Yet, not all hope is lost: disease can also be healed in the gut if we choose to treat our microbes right. In Gut Check, Dr. Gundry shows us how.

In his warm, authoritative voice, Dr. Gundry provides us with the keys to unlocking our gut health, allowing our bodies, and its microbiome, to function at their highest potential. Sharing shocking new research as well as a detailed eating plan with food lists and recipes to heal and rebalance the microbiome, Gut Check provides the cutting-edge information and tools we need to repair our health and reclaim our lives.

Lectins

Another great read, with excellent data/info to better our gut! Those lectins are not our gut friends!!

This is a LIFE CHANGING BOOK! Please read!!

It’s no wonder most Americans are so sick. Thank you Dr. Gundry for all the research and dedication you’ve done for human kind.

Very relevante information

Well-founded information, clearly expressed and very well read gaving strong motivation to apply recomendations in order to prevent or treat health problems.

Eye-opening

This is cutting edge, eye-opening information that is presented in an entertaining way. Love it!

Great info for healthy eating!

As always Dr. G did a great job providing guidance about the foods we should eat a lot of and the ones should avoid or eat in moderation. We’ve been following him since The Plant Paradox book, and I definitely feel much better now: less fatigue and sleepiness during the day and feeling healthier overall as well. Objectively, it feels like I’m getting sick way less frequently than before. Definitely recommend for anyone who is not familiar with Dr. G’s work yet to get a new prospective on the foods we consider good and beneficial for our body.

Thank goodness for science and for reading

this was highly informative and I am already experiencing the benefits of this knowledge. it is quite HEAVY on the chemistry and microbiological terminonology so if you're here for the plan hop to the end.

A fascinating compendium of great advice for healthy living

I have read all previous books by Dr Gundry. This one is by far the best. I listened to the audible version, read the Kindle version and I am studying the hard copy version. After reading health and nutrition books for fifty years, I found this one to be the best one yet, and the one to follow to understand why we get sick and to study and practice to find the way to radiant health.

A must read .

I am so excited this book was released !!! I am just as excited post read , as I was on the first page . I myself have my own microbiome checked regularly so I found this to be quite insightful and I am already ready to relisten to grasp even more of what I have learned from this quite amazing book . Thank you for having this title available !!

Holy Toledo what a great listen!!!

Dr. Gundry, A masterwork worthy of a Nobel. You have inspired me to lose 37 pounds so far with just 23 more and it's easy. I wish I had never learned the wrong health advice that is killing us.

Great gut advice

One of the best books I have read in the last 2 years. Pairs well with a nice red wine and the book by David Sinclair on aging and how to manage it.
