The purpose for True Wellness for Your Gut is to educate readers about how the gastrointestinal system works and how daily choices can positively influence gut health. You must be an active participant in your own revitalization, whether you are treating gastrointestinal illnesses, diabetes, obesity, or wish to prevent them.

It is hard to imagine, but a supposedly healthy food may actually be killing you from the inside out. Unfortunately, many people with such problems are still searching for a solution. You may be one of these people and that is why you are reading this book.

  • Big confusion between what we are told by our healthcare providers and what we are sold in our supermarkets.
  • Disagreements among researchers about what we should eat and when/how we should eat it. It is hard to know what to do and who to trust
  • Don't assume that if digestive and metabolic disease runs in your family you are doomed. In most cases, this is simply not true
  • Your decisions about sleep, food, restorative practices, exercise, relationships, and community all impact your gut.

Learn and understand the underlying cause of your condition and ways that you can solve your own problem with the help of your healthcare team.

  • We encourage the incorporation of Eastern healing modalities such as acupuncture, meditation, and qigong into your conventional care and will explain the science behind these techniques.
  • Not only will the qigong exercises provided improve your gastrointestiaonal trouble, they will, by their very nature, boost your immune system
  • We feel this integration is vitally important to your success for the following reason: stress management.
  • Focused on the individual, we provide a step-by-step guide that will allow each person to make positive mental health changes regardless of what primary care provider they have.

Science now knows from the study of advanced genetics that the way genes are expressed as physical conditions can be modified by the food you eat, the quality and quantity of your sleep, your exercise regimen, and even your thoughts

  • Modern practitioners are increasingly taught to evaluate not just the biological cause of a disease, but the psychological, emotional, spiritual, and socioeconomic factors involved.
  • Increasingly, students of Western biomedicine are being trained to consider all aspects of an individual and their illness. This patient-centered model is called "biopsychosocial medicine."

Eastern medicine has always been a whole systems approach to health. This is how combining Eastern and Western medicine can have the greatest impact.

Industry Reviews

"Hippocrates famously stated, "All disease begins in the gut." And, as it relates to the number one causes of death on our planet, chronic degenerative conditions like diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, obesity and coronary artery disease, what goes on in the gut has wide reaching and even existential implications. As such, we welcome True Wellness for Your Gut as it provides profoundly insightful and actionable information that may well serve to be transformative in charting the reader's health destiny."

-David Perlmutter, MD, author, New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Wash

"I recently had the pleasure of reading True Wellness for Your Gut and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. As a board-certified gastroenterologist, I found the chapters involving the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system to be very detailed and well-researched, yet concise, logically presented, and easy to understand. Not only was it an excellent review of some of the basics for me, it also allowed me to expand my knowledge in the field of gastroenterology. I found of particular value The Human Microbiome and Balancing the Gut-Brain-Microbiome Axis sections of chapter 3, which examine some of the most up-to-date principles of the human gut microbiota. As our knowledge of this exciting and rapidly evolving field grows, I believe it will fundamentally change how doctors and their patients approach digestive health. Furthermore, as a physician trained almost exclusively in the principles of Western medicine, I learned a great deal about how Eastern and Western medicine can complement one another. In short, without reservation I would recommend this book to anyone with a desire to improve not only their digestive well-being, but their overall health as well." "

-James D. Panetta, DO, Board Certified Gastroenterologist

"At no other time in our history has taking responsibility for our health and wellness been more imperative. Science has now shown that diet, lifestyle and stress play an integral part in the support of our immune systems and therefore our health. Myriad health issues begin with poor dietary and lifestyle habits that lead to dysfunction of the digestive system and dysregulation of our immune function. The old adage...you are what you eat rings true. True Wellness for Your Gut combines the most current discoveries of Western medicine with the ancient healing wisdom and practices of Eastern medicine to address digestive related disease. It provides an easy to follow guide to proper nutrition, stress management and overall health and wellness. "
