Description
A bold new approach to weight loss and health is presented in this groundbreaking book by renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. The traditional keto and paleo diets have been widely promoted, but the latest research on the microbiome reveals that elimination diets can be hazardous to our health. Instead, Dr. Bulsiewicz argues that gut health is key to boosting metabolism, balancing hormones, and reducing inflammation. The scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from a variety of colorful plants. Fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are essential for our overall health. These benefits include weight loss, repair of leaky gut, strengthening the microbiome, optimizing the immune system, reducing food sensitivities, lowering cholesterol, reversing type 2 diabetes, improving brain function, and even preventing cancer.
