The Gut-Brain Paradox

Improve Your Mood, Clear Brain Fog, and Reverse Disease by Healing Your Microbiome

By: Steven R. Gundry MD

Narrated by: Steven R. Gundry MD

Dr. Steven R. Gundry, the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox series, shares compelling evidence that our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our mental, emotional, and neuronal health—and shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.

In his previous bestselling books, Steven R. Gundry taught people how to reverse disease and improve health and well-being by preventing and repairing leaky gut. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, he delves even more deeply into the mysterious and long misunderstood world of the human microbiome. Here Dr. Gundry uncovers the complex and multifaceted ways in which our microbes are controlling the health and functioning of our brains, and how the gut-brain connection is made long before we are even born.

The Gut-Brain Paradox shines a fascinating light on how the one-two punch of leaky gut and gut dysbiosis, together driven by western diets, overuse of antibiotics and other medications, and environmental toxins allow pathogenic bacteria to take over. These “bad bugs” cause inflammation and hijack the intricate messaging systems that run from the gut to the brain, setting the stage for neurological changes, brain fog, neurodegeneration, mental health issues, personality alterations, and even addiction.

However, these changes are reversible. Featuring the latest science, easy-to-follow recipes, and supplement guides, The Gut-Brain Paradox shows us how to eat to restore not only our inner balance, but our mental energy and well-being, too.

Dr Steven Gundry

I have read several of Dr G's books. My significant other and I have benefited from reading and practicing what he preaches. In our 70's never thought we could feel so good and lose over 70# each. Not to mention reversing or slowing down major health issues we both had. But not any more. Sticking to these simple rules have given us a new lease on life. Thanks Dr G for your splendid advice and explaining it so easily. I'm going back and reading them again just in case I missed something. 😘

New hope for our brains

As always, I appreciate Steven Gundry's thorough analysis and detailed explanation of the newest information in the area of longevity and gut brain health

Interesting, but…

Lots of interesting information presented in this book. Unfortunately, the rules around how to heal your gut are rigid and not practical. Most people have food budgets and many feed more than one person in their home, and ultimately I was left feeling like this would be more suited for someone with a lot more resources than I have.
