In The Microbiome Solution, Dr. Robynne Chutkan, a preeminent gastroenterologist, explains how the standard Western diet and our super-sanitized lifestyles are starving our microbiomes, depleting the "good bugs" that are crucial for keeping us healthy, and encouraging overgrowth of exactly the wrong types of bacteria, which can leave us vulnerable to a host of autoimmune and chronic health conditions.

The Human Superorganism makes a sweeping, paradigm-shifting argument. It demolishes two fundamental beliefs that have blinkered all medical thinking until very recently: 1) humans are better off as pure organisms free of foreign microbes; and 2) the human genome is the key to future medical advances. The microorganisms that we have sought to eliminate have been there for centuries, supporting our ancestors.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 224
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 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 failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and, more recently, the microbiome - the microorganisms that live inside us - communicate with one another.

Recent cutting-edge research shows that human intestinal microbiota influences metabolism, appetite, energy, hormones, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Because gut microflora plays a central role in weight management, losing weight is much more than cutting calories, fat, or carbs. When the trillions of live bacteria in our digestive tract - the gut microbiome - are balanced, excess pounds melt away, and we feel revitalized.

In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging well - one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.

Over 90 percent of the population suffers from inflammation or an autoimmune disorder. Until now, conventional medicine has said there is no cure. Minor irritations like rashes and runny noses are ignored, while chronic and debilitating diseases like Crohn's and rheumatoid arthritis are handled with a cocktail of toxic treatments that fail to address their root cause. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Publisher's Summary
Cutting-edge science has shown that the microbiome is the secret to healthy weight loss and to feeling healthy, energized, optimistic, and at the top of your game. The microbiome is a whole inner world that lives within your intestines - trillions of tiny microbes that help you extract the nutrients from your food, balance your mood, and sharpen your clarity and focus.
Now, drawing from nearly two decades of experience as a specialist in functional medicine and intestinal health, Raphael Kellman, MD, has developed the first diet based upon on these scientific breakthroughs.
The Microbiome Diet will help you:
- Reset your metabolism
- Free yourself from food cravings and uncontrollable appetite
- Incorporate prebiotics, probiotics, and healing foods into every meal
- Lose weight - and keep it off - with a nonrestrictive life plan

Not just for those who want to lose weight!
If you could sum up The Microbiome Diet in three words, what would they be?
Heal Your Gut
What could Raphael Kellman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I haven't finished it yet, but I'm hoping he provides some specifics about choosing pro-biotics and any supplements he recommends for healing the gut. There's a lot out there and it's confusing. For example, some brands of probiotics may be useless if they are dead on arrival.
What about Tom Perkins’s performance did you like?
Everything. He's easy to listen to, doesn't act like he's talking to a 5 year old, and he has a great voice.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Your microbiome is your internal ecology. It's like a garden in your gut, and it will thrive on diversity.
Any additional comments?
I like the level of difficulty presented. It's easy to follow, yet I didn't feel impatient with it, like he was presenting the info to a small child. I'm not sure the micro-biome is EVERYTHING, but Kellman makes the case that the microbiome affects and mediates a myriad of processes in our bodies, and that it's important enough that I want to implement his suggestions for an even healthier me.

DIET
its a four letter word and this helps me think of it less as that. I have not tried the diet yet but it's on my to do list. I have already noticed that taking a probiotic is helpful for my weight just in a week. So I will be taking 7 weeks to see if the science is accurate for me personally.

Plugging products
I was initially interested in this book and excited about the research it included. Until the author felt it necessary to plug a product, and a specific brand of that product, that was completely counter to some of the research it was supporting. This caused me to see the book and author as inauthentic and I lost interest in finishing the book. I will be returning this book.

For a doctor he says some ignorant things
The dude claims calories in vs out “doesn’t work”. Which is just ignorant. I can understand the gut biome not allowing it to work as well as it should, but he just throws it out the window. I like the idea of this book if you’re purely looking to cure a broke metabolism, but as far as long term, doesn’t provide enough information. More so repetitive stories
