The Mind-gut Connection: How the Hidden Conversation within our Bodies Impacts our Mood, our Choices, and our Overall Health
At some point, everyone has already made decisions based on a “feeling” and felt pre-meeting butterflies in the stomach. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain behind those phenomenon has been long recognised, it wasn’t until now understood by modern science.
In The Mind-Gut Connection, Emeran Mayer offers a revolutionary and provocative look at this developing field. The professor of medicine and executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress guides readers on how to harness the power of the mind-gut axis to take charge of their health and listen to the innate wisdom of their bodies.
Drawing on four decades of research, the author explains the impacts of a mind-gut balance on a happier mindset, improved immunity, reduced risk of neurological diseases, and even weight loss. He also offers practical insights, advocating for simple dietary and lifestyle changes.
