Summary
Cutting-edge neuroscience combines with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome to inform this practical guide that proves once and for all the inextricable, biological link between mind and body.
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 Aryuvedic 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.
The Mind-Gut Connection, shows how to keep the communication brain-gut communication clear and balanced to:
• Heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet
• Balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods
• Promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating a healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption
• Boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
• Generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression
• Prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome; food sensitivities and allergies; and IBS; as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating
• And much more.

Informative, understandable, extremely beneficial
I’ve also read ‘Gut’ by Giulia Enders, which is similarly an excellent read. There is a bit of overlap in the experiments, however I think ‘The Mind Gut Connection’ backs up the science with patient problems, analysis & outcomes.
Loved listening to all of this book, it’s presented in an easy to follow, personable way.
Now if only we can get governments on board to impose stricter laws on commercial food industries.

Very, very, informative
I listened to a number of books that touch on the microbiome and had reservations that this book could develop my understanding further and I was reluctant to test it out with 10 hours of listening.
I am glad I did. This book is perhaps not the best book if you are after low-level knowledge of the microbiome. I was very interested in the content and there were parts that started to lose me, however, I was snapped out of my trance and right back to focus when the part I was listening to was summarised. I realised I did not need to follow every minute of the book to extract a great deal of useful information.
It turned out to be an ideal book for when I might typically lose focus, such as when I'm cooking or at the gym. I feel that the next level that my understanding has reached could potentially have life lasting health benefits.

the book is a good listen and provides a lot of information, the only thing i didn't appreciate was an outdated social views of the author. good source of knowledge about how our body works though
