Description
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 Ayurvedic 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.
Reviews
“Fascinating book, explores a whole range of ideas on gut and mind health and the links between the two. Essential reading for anyone interested in learning more about our bodies and minds. Particularly enlightening for those who’ve suffered from (especially seemingly unexplained) gut issues, or who know someone who has. A lot of the content I had not come across before, neither had the many people I introduced the book to afterwards. It highlighted how poorly understood the area is and how critically lacking care in this space as a result. Includes practical advice as well as well explained information and critical insights.” LTC
“I started studying Psychology having always been interested in mental health. I find it unbelievable how our guts and head are so intricately linked and have took a large interest into this particular subject. This book explains difficult concepts in an easy to understand manner. Anyone interested in general health and well-being, mental health, gut health, diets etc should definitely read this book!” – Mel
