Resumen del Editor

Cutting-edge neuroscience combines with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome to inform this practical guide that proves once and for all the inextricable, biological link between mind and body.

We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right;” the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Aryuvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the microbiome—the microorganisms that live inside us—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health.

The Mind-Gut Connection, shows how to keep the communication brain-gut communication clear and balanced to:

• Heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet

• Balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods

• Promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating a healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption

• Boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s

• Generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression

• Prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome; food sensitivities and allergies; and IBS; as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating

• And much more.

Balanced, yet truly scientific review of z as complex subject.

A true combination of a perfect balance of science and practical knowledge and experience. Complex concepts explained in a practical terms. This m as Les it easier to read and listen to and yet very informative. A MUST read for anyone who wants to improve their quality of life.

I really recommend this book.

Useful

Nicely explained importance of gut biome diversity. Connection with brain to minimize neurological diseases. Foid choices and mindfulness ate essential for microbine.

Fascinating

A strong combination of well documented basic research and animal models, correlational human research, and extensive clinical experience concerning the gut and brain connection. The last part proposes reasonable life style interventions to promote optimal human health.

Very informative. Ready for his

book gut - immune connection to under stand latest in gut biome. He summaries well the science of gut biome and not trying to sell a gimmick or product like many physicians have authored such books.

Great but quite clinical

Great book but very scientific and clinical - which is good but can be daunting but those without training. But still highly recommend

Interesting, but repetitive and dull

I felt lots of ideas were repeated multiple times. Overall I found the book interesting and thought provoking, but it was very drawn out. I don’t believe it needed to be quite so long. I feel the same ideas could’ve been gotten across in a shorter, easily digestible reading. The case studies were probably the most interesting part, and the connections between animal studies to humans were well explained.

Very informative, more technical than practical

This book contains a lot of very interesting information about how your mind affects the gut and vice versa. There were some recommendations in the book, which I thought were good, but I was looking for a little more practical advice. However, I found this book very interesting and do recommend it.

Informative and helpful!

I have struggled with IBS since I was a small child. I highly recommend this book as the author has the knowledge and expertise to discuss this balance between the brain and gut. There are many silly books out there with little to no knowledge written by people claiming to be experts, but they are not. One person is not the same as the other, and I feel Dr. Mayer is very clear that this is something that requires work and reducing stress is key! I also enjoyed hearing about his growing up in Europe, where things seems much less toxic. I always notice a difference in the food quality when I visit my son in Austria. So, please read this book! You will learn a lot. I already purchased his next book.
