The Gut Wellness Guide

The Power of Breath, Touch, and Awareness to Reduce Stress, Aid Digestion, and Reclaim Whole-Body Health

By: Allison Post, Stephen Cavaliere, Sara Gottfried MD - foreword

Narrated by: Allison Post

A user-friendly guide for anyone grappling with chronic pain, fatigue, gas, bloating, and other common disorders associated with the gut.

Addressing a wide range of conditions - including digestive problems, anxiety, and depression - this easy-to-use guide presents simple ways to relieve the stress related to some of today’s most pressing health problems. Authors Allison Post and Stephen Cavaliere explain the devastating impact that imbalances of gut microbiota and the microbiome can have on digestion, and they demonstrate proven techniques to reconnect with our bodies and reclaim our health.

The Gut Wellness Guide expands upon the method previously introduced in the authors’ first book, Unwinding the Belly. Unwinding is a clear and accessible way to connect the “gut brain” to the “main brain” and to relax, tune into your body, and create a customized action plan to heal.

Critic reviews

“2,500 years ago, Hippocrates said ‘All disease begins in the gut’, and modern research has confirmed this ancient wisdom. Yet all too often our approach to improving gut health focuses too much on diet and supplements, and not enough on managing stress and more fully inhabiting our body. Allison and Stephen recognize that the gut is part of the nervous system, and that truly healing the gut isn’t possible without addressing this crucial component.” (Chris Kresser, MS, LAc, author of The Paleo Cure)

“Unwinding - the method of embodiment presented in this book - is synonymous with unwinding the harmful effects stress can have on your hormones, nervous system, brain function, mood, libido level, digestive health, and even gene expression. In this easy-to-read book you will be able to quickly get to the heart of any stress related issue you hold in your body...by leading with your gut. Try it. You won’t be sorry. Thank you Allison and Stephen for this contribution to the health of our population and our planet!” (Dr. Keesha Ewers, author of Solving the Autoimmune Puzzle)

“Allison and Stephen have done the miraculous: written a book about the functioning of our bodies in an ever-so-personal and delicious way. They write so clearly and with such warmth and mastery that what seemed obtuse and dry is suddenly understandable, even - dare I say - exciting. And, as a grateful recipient of Allison’s hands-on magic, I can say with utter conviction that the love that comes through her work is astounding. It is, after all, love that heals, and now we can all be recipients of that magic through this book.” (Geneen Roth, author of Women, Food and God)

Great information on healing your gut

I enjoyed listening to the audio. Grateful for all this information about healing the gut. Spent so much money on different modalities. Nothing seem to stick for long.

Thanks to the book and audio. I have hope for true healing.
