The Mind-Gut Connection

Emeran Mayer, MD, has spent the last four decades researching brain-body relationships. He is the executive director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience at the University of California, Los Angeles, as well as the codirector of the Digestive Diseases Research Center.

Cutting-edge neuroscience is combined with the most recent findings on the human microbiome to inform this practical guide, which establishes once and for all the inextricable biological relationship between mind and body.

We've all felt the connection between our head and our gut—the decision we made because it "felt right;" butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; worried stomach rumbling when we're stressed. While ancient healing traditions such as Aryuvedic and Chinese medicine have recognized the dialogue between the gut and the brain, 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. Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, presents a revolutionary look at this new science in The Mind-Gut Connection, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take responsibility of our health.

The Mind-Gut Connection demonstrates how to keep brain-gut connection open and balanced in order to:

• Focus on a plant-based diet to heal the gut.
• Maintain a healthy microbiota by eating fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and avoiding sweets and processed foods.
• Encourage weight loss by cleansing and promoting healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
• Improve immunity and delay the onset of neurological illnesses including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
• Improve your mood and lessen fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression.
• Prevent and cure GI problems like leaky gut syndrome, food sensitivities and allergies, IBS, and digestive discomfort like heartburn and bloating.
• And a lot more.
