I was recently diagnosed with leaky gut and my doctor recommended this book. It is easy to read and understand. I like that Dr. Gundry includes programs to follow, what foods are OK and what foods to avoid.
It's a fairly short read with a relatively beefy chapter of citations at the end, as well as segueing into some advice and recipes towards end.Comfortable binding that sits open effortlessly and uncrowded typesetting. Lots of food for thought and followup that is hard to come through in the videos. I take it on walks for short reads, and look up the citations sometimes later. A wealth of citations.There is not as much work put into the index as due even such a short tome however. Dr. Gundry uses acronyms freely and for example, ATP is not defined at any point that I could find, including the indexed pages. It is just referred to and the reader can only look it up elsewhere if not knowing.Paradox? There is maybe no apparent paradox (why the title?) and, I daresay buying this book is best reserved for the fan of Dr. Gundry videos who wishes to support him and have a convenient up to date bit of a treatise. I'm happy with it, even if it is slightly paradoxical.The model of gut-brain axis interaction talked of is reminiscent to me of Heribert Watzke (see his 2010 TED Talk) and the Subsumption Architecture / layered control system. I like that way of thinking about the gut and gut-brain axis.Béchamp was a contemporary of Pasteur's, who advocated the benefits of the microbial life, distinct from Pasteur's more heavy handed germ theory of disease.
Excellent read
Conceptually very interesting! I appreciate the practical advice backed up by scientific study which is referenced throughout the book. I’m implementing dietary changes from this book a little later this month.
Fascinating. Haven't finished it yet.
Very informative
This book is a game changer. It’s full of so much useful information. I listened to the Audible and enjoyed it. I liked how they used a lot of medical terminology and really explained the science behind what is going on and why.
This has very helpful information about how to get one's gut biome back to where it should be.
Good book. Quality info.
Gundry amazing
Eye opening and very informative!
This book illuminates the critical role our gut biome plays in our overall health, and how that biome impacts our brain's functionality. As someone with a brain injury and on a crazy high amount of drugs, I can attest to the importance of managing this relationship I ps. Lots of actionable steps to take are offered too, and fairly easy to implement, once you understand how it all works. A clear accessible read.
Excellent teaching about improving your health.
I purchased this book for my daughter. She really likes it. Bookis as described.
Very detailed. If you have any medical background you will appreciate this. Might be a bit more difficult for others with out understanding of A&P . Makes total sense! Highly recommended. I sent this referral to my Doctor to read.
Great book on the importance of gut health.
Amazing and really interesting book. I’m an Internal Medicine and intensive care doctor from Argentina going through my own health journey. Really interesting approach, still reading it!
A lot of information in this one for sure!
A lot of goodinformation
@annatellsitallDr. Gundry has been my lifestyle guru for years now. I always appreciate when he comes out with a new book that keeps me updated with the latest research in gut health. I also am grateful for the refresher on what I should and should not be eating. Reading this book gave me enlightenment as to the possible cause of my own recent health issues. I was not giving my gut buddies enough time to do their magic. The poor babies were overwhelmed. Thank you Dr. Gundry for setting me right. And my gut buddies thank you too!
