Heal Your Leaky Gut Diet And Food Plan

THE COMPANION BOOK TO DR. DAVID BROWNSTEIN'S HEAL YOUR LEAKY GUT: THE HIDDEN CAUSE OF MANY CHRONIC DISEASES In his popular book, Heal Your Leaky Gut, award-winning holistic physician Dr. David Brownstein revealed how most illnesses and chronic conditions start in the gut (including many you would not even think of!). In this companion book, Dr. Brownstein delves further into the mind-gut connection to provide a diet and meal plan to help put his findings into action. If your gut isn't functioning right, it sets the stage for illness and disease. The gut -- the gastrointestinal system -- is designed to absorb nutrients that support our bodies and help us make energy, and get rid of things that we don't need or are toxic. But what happens when the system breaks down? Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) occurs when the lining of the small intestine is damaged, allowing foreign compounds to escape into your bloodstream, which weakens your immune system and triggers autoimmune reactions. Heal Your Leaky Gut Diet and Food Plan provides a wealth of practical information to help readers lead a healthier lifestyle to prevent and manage leaky gut syndrome. The book includes shopping lists, nutritional information, eating plans and menus, as well as easy-to-follow delicious recipes and exercises that anyone can follow.
