Trust Your Gut - by Gregory Plotnickoff & Mark B Weisberg (Paperback)

About the Book

"This book teaches how to read the gut and correct imbalances, rather than just masking them with drugs, which usually instigate other health problems. Plotnikoff, a board-certified internist, and Weisberg, a clinical health psychologist, both of whom have consulted to numerous integrative health programs, including Andrew Weil's institute at the University of Arizona, Tucson, have created a unique program to address chronic gut problems. They are the go-to guys for many top docs whose patients aren't responding to conventional treatment. They focus on the critical balance in the body's limbic system (the parts of the brain connected with fear, memory and hormone release) with what has been called "the second brain," the enteric nervous system that forms in and around the gut. Their approach involves neurohormonal retraining and ecological rebalancing"--

Drug-free, Natural Remedies for Digestive Problems

#1 Bestseller in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Take control of your gut health with natural remedies for GERD or IBS pain. Inside, two leading doctors in integrative medicine offer a personalized plan to restore gut harmony.

Listen to your gut. Of the main human body systems, our digestive system is our center. In ancient wisdom and modern idioms, we praise intestinal fortitude, and when we have an intuitive hunch, we attribute it to our gut feeling. If you've been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease or exhibit symptoms like chronic bad breath, gastritis, nausea, bloating, gas, cramping, constipation, or even incontinence-your gut is trying to tell you something.

Review Quotes

Finally a book with clear guidelines for people wanting to solve their gastrointestinal distress and disease. Because the gut is the center of our emotions, most GI problems must be addressed both physically and emotionally. Unfortunately, this is rarely done. What makes this book so transformative is that it brings the perspectives of both an integrative functional medicine doctor and a doctor of clinical health psychology. Anyone willing and able to follow the suggestions put forth by Doctors Plotnikoff and Weisberg should be able to resolve their gut distress. I would rate this book a ten out of ten for excellence. Bill Manahan, MD, assistant professor emeritus, University of Minnesota Academic Health Center-- "Reviews"
