The Microbiome Solution - Robynne Chutkan

The Microbiome Solution - Robynne Chutkan

The microbiome - the collective name for the 'uncountable' bacteria that live in our digestive tract - is the latest medical news topic. But what does this groundbreaking research actually mean for our daily health?

Dr Robynne Chutkan, summarising the latest findings, explains that the standard Western diet and our super-sterile lifestyle starve our microbes. This depletes the 'good bacteria' that are crucial to our health and encourages proliferation of the wrong kinds of bacteria. The resulting imbalance predisposes us to numerous autoimmune and chronic diseases. We can make effective changes to our lifestyle and diet to reverse this damage.

Dr Chutkan has helped thousands of patients who suffered from a disturbed microbiome with her comprehensive Live Dirty, Eat Clean plan, which is designed to eliminate harmful medications and foods and restore health. In this book, she offers her impressive programme to help readers around the world recover and heal. With practical advice.

In this book you will find, among other things
* An overview of the 'modern microbial disruptors' that strip our body of its natural protective systems.
* Delicious, nutritious recipes that encourage the growth of good bacteria.
* A list of important questions to ask your doctor when prescribed antibiotics and advice on how to protect your gut during a course of treatment.
* A guide to choosing the right probiotics and supplements.
* Essential information on how to prevent and recover from conditions such as eczema, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and more.
