Infos

Dr. Steven R. Gundry, the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox series, argues that the microbiome, often called the “enteric brain,” is actually the primary driver of our neuronal and brain function—without a healthy gut, we cannot have a healthy brain.

In his previous bestselling books, Steven R. Gundry laid the groundwork for healthy eating to prevent and repair leaky gut and improve our overall well-being. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, he continues his journey deep into the human body, making the connections between a healthy microbiome—which helps our metabolic function—and a healthier brain, including improved cognitive function and mood.

The Gut-Brain Paradox reveals how metabolic inflexibility is a key driver of neuronal death. Without metabolic flexibility, neurons are starved to death and have no fuel to repair. Since these neurons receive information from the microbiome and communicate with the brain, our brain function can only be as strong as the health of our microbiome.

Dr. Gundry helps us understand that a leaky gut leads to a “leaky brain,” demonstrating the connections to Alzheimer’s and so-called Type 3 Diabetes. Thanks to the traditional Western diet which now mainly subsists of processed foods, and by the disruptors present in our diets, including glyphosate, plastics, and dysbiosis, we are harming ourselves and our children. At the very least, Dr. Gundry contends, these negative influences contribute to the brain fog which many struggle with—mild impairment, memory issues, and lack of mental energy.

The Gut-Brain Paradox also includes the latest science on how to positively impact a baby’s developing brain and includes a program to guide readers towards healthy eating, providing recipes and supplements.
