Book SynopsisBestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream.Dr Davis has connected the dots between ''gut health'' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. 1 in 3 people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine. Super Gut shares a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only gets to the root of many diseases but improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health and promotes anti-aging and weight loss. Dr Davis provides not just the science and case studies but also more than 40 recipes and solutions. In Super GuTrade ReviewSuper Gut reveals how virtually every aspect of our health is fundamentally influenced by the vast array of microscopic organisms living upon and within us. Dr Davis makes it clear that so many issues related to living in our modern world challenge this relationship and set the stage for illness. But the good news, as Super Gut so eloquently portrays, centres on our new found ability to improve the health and functionality of the vast array of microbes upon which we depend. It's clear that we can manipulate this relationship to our advantage. And Dr Davis shows us how. -- David Perlmutter, MD, author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain, and Drop AcidReading Super Gut is reading an incredibly important manual on building the super 'hard drive' for a long, healthy, and productive life.... With easy to implement, inexpensive recommendations, it won't be long before you're forever grateful you took the time to read and implement.... All disease begins in the gut. So build a Super Gut! -- Dr Tom O’Bryan, author of The Autoimmune Fix and You Can Fix Your BrainSuper Gut brings the conversation into new territory. Bacteria are not the bad guys! Dr Davis' plan helps you replenish the microbiome and eliminate those culprits that are depleting us of essential natural probiotics that maintain a healthy gut. Microbiome medicine is an essential part of good health, disease prevention, vitality, and longevity. Bravo to Dr Davis on this newest addition to the literature. -- Dr Raphael Kellman, founder of Microbiome Medicine, author of The Microbiome Diet, The Microbiome Breakthrough, Microbiome ThyroidUnlike other books on the microbiome, Dr Davis has taken the conversation several steps further by showing how lost microbes can be restored and how an epidemic of overgrowth of undesirable species can be pushed back with often spectacular results. He packs the book with specific strategies and recipes so that the reader is well-equipped to regain health, vigour, even youthfulness. -- Dr Mark Hyman, New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan DietAn intriguing look into the science of the gut microbiome, and its implications for human health. Dr Davis brings his usual light to this area of science and follows that up with some practical advice. -- Dr Jason Fung, New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code

Book SynopsisA holistic approach for healing trauma stored in the gut. A healthy gut is fundamental to a healthy life. Embedded within our digestive ­system is the enteric nervous system, our “second brain,” which serves to protect us from the external world of adversity, including not only viruses and bacteria, but also traumatic events. As Nikki Kenward, CST-D, MCSS, explains, past challenges and traumas, whether emotional or physical, are held in the enteric nervous system in many ways, including fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful “default settings.” Exploring in depth what she calls “the Post-Traumatic Gut,” Kenward describes the anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, including the polyvagal system, and the many ways that our emotional history and current emotional state can impact our digestive system. Sharing recent research, she describes the science behind the emotional gut and how to apply it to chronic digestive issues like IBS and Crohn’s disease as well as mental health issues such as anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, and depression. She explains how and why the digestive gut absorbs emotions and what you can do to heal its functions by addressing psychosomatic stressors, rather than just nutrition. Presenting case studies from her 25 years in clinical practice as well as her own healing journey, she reveals the synchronicity between digestive/metabolic functions and psychological/perceptual insight and how allowing the cells to “speak” through bodywork such as CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release Therapy can help renew the microbiome of the second brain, release intergenerational trauma and illness, and restore one’s psychospiritual life. Sharing visualization exercises and a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer, the author helps readers unwind stagnant cellular patterns, discover the dynamic intelligence in every cell, and transform Post-Traumatic Gut into Post-Traumatic growth.Trade Review“In recent years, our awareness of the importance of the gut—its structures and the mysteries it contains—has been raised by the arrival of numerous texts on the subject. Most are really useful for reference purposes and for a greater sense of the map and features of the territory within us. Knowledge is useful, but to accelerate our understanding of these mysteries, it is important to have a resource that takes us into the reality rather than simply the theory. Nikki’s personal story takes us into that lived reality. It helps to bring the anatomy of the gut to life and, more importantly, to gain some understanding of its relationship to our deepest levels of health and well-being. There are also valuable insights into the potentially long-lasting effects of PTSD and its link to the function of our gut. This book provokes questions and encourages us to look further into this dynamic and fast-evolving area of research and study.” * Margaret Anne Gill, MBA, CST-D, MCSS, coauthor of The Inner Power of Stillness *“Overcoming Chronic Digestive Conditions is a brilliant read. It’s engaging, insightful, educational, and accessible. I would highly recommend it to anyone grappling with their own gut challenges or working in a therapeutic capacity treating those with gut-related health issues. Nikki brings to life through her own experiences how gut health problems are linked to our emotional and physical health, both now and earlier in our lives. The book helps us understand the vicious cycle of cause and effect: how challenges in our emotional and physical health have a knock-on effect on our gut health and how, in turn, the resultant gut challenges further negatively impact us emotionally and physically. I found the practical guidance and strategies immensely powerful as well as the new scientific research. And for those providing hands-on therapy, it will expand their capacity to treat patients, not just with gut disorders but also those with PTSD and neurodegenerative illness, such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia. This book never promises to deliver the silver bullet but instead offers a new lens through which to view this complex and fascinating subject.” * Linda Marsh, International Coaching Federation accredited and director at Gravitas MM, Ltd. *“This book arose out of Nikki’s personal journey toward recovery from PTSD following a diving accident. Along the way, her journey took her into an exploration of her own ‘gut feeling.’ Her personal journey has become a professional focus. Nikki is using her gathered knowledge to help her own patients as well as educate colleagues and students of many hands-on treatment modalities about this rapidly changing and exciting new area of medical science—the gut/ brain connection.” * Fiona Gilbraith, CST-D, qualified member of the CranioSacral Society *Table of ContentsForeword by Eric Moya, RMT, CST-D, MS/Mfct Acknowledgments Preface About Upledger CranioSacral Therapy 1 Why Are We Here? 2 Our Life in Our Body 3 Searching for Stories in the Second Brain 4 Finding Compassion for Your Gut’s History 5 Container for Shame 6 SomatoEmotional Release and Safety 7 The Black Hole 8 Still Frozen?

Book Synopsis'A major step in patient education and participation in the management of diverticulitis' - Professor Frank A. FrizelleDiverticular disease (DD) is a digestive disorder caused by enflamed diverticula, or pouches, in the colon. A common cause is constipation due to lack of fibre in the diet. Diverticulitis is very common, with about 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK and 300,000 in the USA. Symptoms are usually persistent abdominal pain plus disturbed bowel function (constipation or diarrhoea or alternating between the two). Diverticulitis sometimes becomes very severe leading to perforation of the bowel, forming an abscess or rarely peritonitis. This best-selling book looks at the treatment and self-management of DD - while the doctor can help, particularly with antibiotics, much can be done by the individual to minimise the effects of this condition.Topics include:The medical treatment of diverticular disease Probiotics ('good' or 'friendly' live bacteria and yeasts said to be good for digestive healthThe increase of diverticular disease in the populationEffects of diverticular disease

Book SynopsisFree digital access available with every print purchase. See inside the book for more details.While classification of pancreatic neoplasms has not evolved significantly since 2007, data related to the molecular underpinnings that characterize each type of neoplasm have grown exponentially in the past 15 years. The current multimodal study of pancreatic neoplasms has allowed a better understanding of tumor biology, more closely linking the mor¬phologic findings with clinical outcomes and targeted treatment. The prognosis of conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains very poor, but some promise is on the horizon based on novel treatment approaches and the increase in earlier diagnosis. Furthermore, intensive study of other pancreatic neoplasms has led to a clearer recognition that each type has distinctive biology and behavior that is often not so highly aggressive. This sense of optimism may help drive a resurgence of interest in pancreatic pathology.

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Dr. Mayer will not only open your eyes to the critical importance of the variety of microbes that inhabit our gut, but also to the broader picture of how food choices that support biodiversity can save lives, shield us from novel infections, and protect the planet. It is fascinating how choices to improve our personal health are connected to the preservation and creation of fertile soils, clean waterways and ultimately our mothership, Earth and our progeny." — Joel Fuhrman, M.D., seven-time New York Times bestselling author “In Medicine, the ‘Holy Trinity’ means something different: the brain, the gut, and the immune system. Each contributes to health through its effects on the others. We’re lucky, because Emeran Mayer is an expert in each. And he knows the only way to fix all three at once is to fix the food.” — Robert Lustig, MD., author of Fat Chance and The Hacking of the American Mind “Our entire world – the soil, the plants, even us humans – are bound together by networks of invisible microbes. In The Gut-Immune Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer is a microbiome magician pulling back the veil on our interconnected world and then showing us how to harness nature’s healing energy. This is a life changing book by one of the great scientists of our generation. “ — Will Bulsiewicz, New York Times bestselling author of Fiber Fueled “We live in an environment dominated by ultra-processed, fast food, which is fueling disease and hurting the planet. In The Gut-Immune Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, draws important connections between the gut microbiome and our immune system, describing how individuals can take action to harness this powerful force to promote well-being. It is a must read for those searching for a path to better human and planetary health.” — Erica Sonnenburg, PhD, co-author of The Good Gut "Now more than ever we need to understand the critical connection between what we put in our body, and our resistance to disease. Focusing on the three foundational pillars of the gut endocrine system, immune system, and nervous system, Dr. Mayer breaks down the science and lays out a clear and attainable path to reclaim immunity, vitality, and health." — Robynne Chutkan, MD, FASG, author of Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution & The Bloat Cure “In his new book, Dr. Mayer beautifully points out the close interconnectedness between our own health, and the health of the soil and the environment, and the crucial role that the trillions of microbes play in this planetary network. The book is both a unique collection of information, as well as an urgent call to action for everybody concerned about the deteriorating state of our universal health. “ — Yvon Chouinard, founder and owner of Patagonia, Inc. “Finally, a book that treats gut health, human health, and ecological health as one subject. A revelatory read from a doctor, writer and thinker we all need to hear from, now more than ever.” — Dan Barber, NYT Bestselling author of The Third Plate and chef of the 2 Michelin star restaurant Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns “Dr. Mayer takes a fascinating deep dive into the microbial world that links the health of our bodies with the health of our environment, revealing the deep interconnections between the planet’s life support systems and our own.” — Liz Carlisle, PhD., author of Lentil Underground

Book SynopsisNational BestsellerDoctor of Natural Medicine and wellness authority Dr. Josh Axe delivers a groundbreaking, indispensable guide for understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most discussed yet little-understood health conditions: leaky gut syndrome.Do you have a leaky gut? For 80% of the population the answer is “yes”—and most people don’t even realize it. Leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including: chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream.

Book SynopsisWe are a culture increasingly obsessed with food and health, and with the possible relationship between the two. Yet everywhere we look we see conflicting opinions and advice about the role of food in health. We are inundated by books, T.V. specials, magazine and newspaper articles - so much so that people have begun to ignore today''s recommendations of health experts, knowing that today''s fad will be gone tomorrow.In Good Food for Bad Stomachs, Dr, Henry Janowitz shares this healthy skepticism about some of these news stories and sets out to make sense of the many research reports and claims, to sort out fact from opinion, and to suggest a sensible diet for those of us who have gastorintestinal complaints and for those of us who do not. He asks two central questions which shape the content and spirit of the book: Is there an ideal diet and is there a consensus on what the ideal diet might contain? And most important to his patients, what do we know about the role of our eating habits in preventing, causing, and treating the many disorders which plague our gastrointestinal tract and its associated digestive glands--the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas? Dr. Janowitz does believe we are what we eat, and the good news is that we can prevent many of our modern diseases by adhering to simple guidelines that are built on solid evidence and the insights of a master clinician who has spent a lifetime listening, treating, and healing patients.Trade ReviewGood Food for Bad Stomachs, authored by an expert in the study of digestive disorders for more than one-half century, is the best book on the subject yet written and is highly recommended for everyone with even a casual interest in food and health."--Joseph B. Kirsner, M.D., Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine, The University of Chicago "This easily readable yet authoritative volume blends Dr. Janowitz's lifetime of clinical experience and scholarship with his delicious wit, his plain common sense, and his unerring instinct for addressing the most important concerns on the minds of his patients."--David B. Sachar, M.D., The Dr. Burrill B. Crohn Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Gastroenterology, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York "In this fine new compendium, Dr. Janowitz gives people practical guidance out of his vast experience. He is informal, fair and candid, and his words are easily digestible.

Book SynopsisRumination syndrome (RS) is a condition characterized by repeated, effortless regurgitation of material (usually food). RS is classified as both a disorder of gut-brain interaction, and as a feeding and eating disorder. Not only can the experience of RS be distressing, it can severely impact a patient''s medical functioning and ability to live a full life. RS is unfortunately an overlooked (and thus under-treated) condition, as individuals with RS may often describe their symptoms as reflux or vomiting. RS can also co-occur with other gastrointestinal and eating disorders, further complicating the clinical picture. The good news is that RS can be successfully treated. This book offers a comprehensive treatment approach for RS, for use with children, adolescents, and adults. With evidence backing its use, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for RS (CBT-RS), is designed for clinicians (behavioral health or medical) to use with patients in their own clinical settings. With case examples and a practical stepwise approach, clinicians are able to take CBT-RS into their own clinical settings to increase treatment access for RS.

Book SynopsisThough it is highly preventable, tooth decay is a common chronic disease both in the United States and worldwide. Evidence shows that decay and other oral diseases may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. However, individuals and many health care professionals remain unaware of the risk factors and preventive approaches for many oral diseases. They do not fully appreciate how oral health affects overall health and well-being. In Advancing Oral Health in America, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) highlights the vital role that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) can play in improving oral health and oral health care in the United States. The IOM recommends that HHS design an oral health initiative which has clearly articulated goals, is coordinated effectively, adequately funded and has high-level accountability. In addition, the IOM stresses three key areas needed for successfully maintaining oral health aTable of Contents1 Front Matter; 2 Summary; 3 1 Introduction; 4 2 Oral Health and Overall Health and Well-Being; 5 3 The Oral Health Care System; 6 4 HHS and Oral Health: Past and Present; 7 5 A New Oral Health Initiative; 8 Appendix A: Acronyms; 9 Appendix B: Organizational Charts of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; 10 Appendix C: Workshop Agendas; 11 Appendix D: Committee and Staff Biographies
