About this listen
The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works.
In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and - let's be honest - somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy. And scientists are only just discovering quite how much it has to offer; new research shows that gut bacteria can play a role in everything from obesity and allergies to Alzheimer's.
Beginning with the personal experience of illness that inspired her research and going on to explain everything from the basics of nutrient absorption to the latest science linking bowel bacteria with depression, Enders has written an entertaining, informative health handbook.
Gut definitely shows that we can all benefit from getting to know the wondrous world of our inner workings. In this charming book, young scientist Giulia Enders takes us on a fascinating tour of our insides. Her message is simple: if we treat our gut well, it will treat us well in return. But how do we do that? And why do we need to?
Find out in this surprising and surprisingly funny exploration of the least understood of our organs.
Giulia Enders is a two-time scholarship winner of the Heraeus Foundation and is doing research for her medical doctorate at the Institute for Microbiology in Frankfurt. In 2012 her presentation of Gut won her first prize at the Science Slam in Berlin and went viral on YouTube.

Fascinating, and potentially life changing.
This is one of the only books I have enthusiastically recommended to other people in real life. the information is presented in a fantastic manner, well written in an engaging style that helps you to really understand the subject without bombarding you with academic over-verbosity. It is quite frankly life changing information that I strongly encourage all to read.

Entertaining and informative
How does my digestive system work? Says nobody ever. This book will make you wonder why not, as well as answer the question in a clear, straightforward and engaging way.
I thought the narrator was great to. Crisp clear voice with a hint of humour.
I highly recommend it.

Surprisingly entertaining, informative and funny
This was unexpected. The book is well written, informative and witty. It is an enjoyable trip through the inner workings of the digestive system, told from an interestingly funny perspective.
Recommended.

Knowledge enlightener book on Gut-Brain.
I have over an hour left on this audiobook still I am confidently writing review on this audiobook.
Giulia Enders, has done a great and rare job to give Gut-science its deserving stature among other organs science in body. She has written this scientific white-paper in academic precision as well as maintain so much candidness and curiosity like a professional fiction book novelist.
A must for human behavior psychology enthusiasts too.
Narrator Katy Sobey has well justify the skill/flow of Giulia.
Many thanks and congratulation to both of them.

Things I didn’t know about the gut - everything
A very interesting book. So many facts and so many things I want to remember for future, but can’t. This book was packed with information and facts that are totally relevant to all of us, but one needs to listen to it again and again to retain the really important things, or have a notebook. I shall certainly play it again but try to concentrate more.
