Publisher's summary

Is your gut impacting your health? Find out if your gut is responsible for inflammation and a host of medical issues, from anxiety to autoimmune disorders. If you have an unhealthy gut, chances are you frequently suffer from heartburn, constipation, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. These symptoms occur frequently in people who have gut issues. But the good news is they can all be treated. Many people tend to treat the symptoms of an unhealthy gut, rather than trying to boost the health of the gut in the first place. While there is nothing wrong with this, if you don't treat the root cause of the issue, it's likely that you will be experiencing those symptoms again and again. Medication that can help to treat the symptoms of a leaky gut may actually be making your gut even more unhealthy. In this audiobook, you will find out how to improve the health of your gut. Specifically, we will look at:

  • What is leaky gut?
  • How your gut can impact your entire health, including triggering inflammation throughout your body that may cause autoimmune disorders, mood disorders, heart attacks, and cancer
  • How food intolerances and allergies play a role, including gluten and lectins
  • How stress and medications impact your gut
  • How fiber can repair your gut
  • Pre- and probiotics

How what you eat can heal your gut. This essential handbook will give you a beginning guide on how you can make significant changes to your gut health, and improve your overall well-being.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A whole new meaning to having a gut feeling!

Have you ever wondered if something's amok in your gut? This brief audiobook does a good job of making introductions between what ails you and the possible causes in your gut, which by the way starts in the stomach and ends at the butt. Written as a brief overview of broad topics ranging from the effects of the foods we take in, to the symptoms we experience, to diagnosis and possible treatments, this could very well point you in the correct direction in your efforts to discover why your body is misbehaving as it is.

I was given this book for free to review, in exchange for my unbiased opinion which I have now given, solicitously to you!

VERY INFORMATIVE!

What did you love best about The Essential Handbook to a Healthy Gut?

I love how very informative this book is. Everything is explained in detail and is very easy to understand.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Essential Handbook to a Healthy Gut?

one of the most memorable moments I had while listening to this audio book is the time when I realized that some of the urban legends that I long believed are not really true. I feel relieved now that I know how to really take care of my gut.

What an eye opener..

I never would have associated my migraine headaches with my gut health. This book is very interesting to say the least. The author gives a list of ailments that stem from a leaky gut. She even gives dietary suggestions for correcting problems. Everyone with health issues from Crohn's disease to Eczema should listen to this book. The narration was also done very well. I requested this book and have decided to voluntarily leave my honest review.

Excellent information! I can relate to this.

Any additional comments?

I can relate to this in more ways than I originally expected. I have RA and I can see how this might be something that could help me. Very interesting information. Well worth my time and more. I do wish the charts and lists were available too.

Interesting

My gut is a story into itself. Slowly I am trying to get mine under control out out from under the surgeons scalpel. I will be putting some of the ideas from this book to the test and see if I can help my gut. I did not receive the proper handout when I downloaded the book, I was able to contact the writer through the narrator and did get the proper material.

Pretty basic

I didn’t really learn much. My main issue with it is that the reader just says, “list of anti inflammatory foods below.” Um below where? Isn’t this an audio book or am I suppose to buy the book also? Isn’t it common sense to read the below since this is an audio book that is already super short? May want to fix this :)

A great starting point for a healthy lifestyle.

I enjoyed this guide thoroughly. While this alone is not the full guide, it does offer enough information to get started on the right path. I am looking forward to using some of these tips to try to get healthy.

The narration was done well.

I requested a free review copy of this audiobook and I am leaving a voluntary review.

Great Book

This is a great book for those who want to start living a healthy lifestyle. I get migraine headaches at times and I never would have thought that my gut would have had anything to do with them. The narrator did a great job. I highly recommend this book.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Actionable information on gut health

I have read health audiobooks close to 20 hours long which were less helpful than this short listen. The author condensed the issues and information down to the most part dentils elements and just delivers the goods. Many could learn from her efficient economy.

If you are looking for someone to tell you that there is a medication to take and that you needn’t change any of your eating habits, you will inevitably be disappointed with this audiobook. The poor reviews that I read made me think we were listening the two different books.

This is succinct, well organized and presented, actionable information about your gut health. Give this advice a month. Your toilet will thank you.
