Summary: from Good Reads
In Clean Gut, Alejandro Junger, M.D, New York Times bestselling author of Clean and creator of the world-famous Clean Program, delivers a complete toolkit for reversing disease and sustaining life-long health. Inside these pages, Junger offers a groundbreaking new program that attacks the root causes of illness and helps us to restore our own amazing healing capabilities.
With a few simple steps, you can repair and restore your gut health, and watch symptoms both minor and major disappear. This groundbreaking new protocol grew out of Dr. Junger's experience helping many people jump-start their way back to wellness. Dr. Junger also presents a set of guiding principles to keep you healthy for the long term. True health is about more than just what you put into your mouth: it's also about community and the people and things you surround yourself with; it's about how to know what your body loves, craves, and needs versus what assaults it. In Clean Gut, Dr. Junger gives us everything we need to discover what it means to be truly healthy.
Feelings:
This book didn't feel like it was quite as well put together as Clean to me. I thought it would be more helpful for me that it was. I have been eating almost the diet that Clean Gut puts forward for over a month and it hasn't had the affects that he says it should. I don't the the smoothy for breakfast but it does seem like I should be seeing more benefit for the amount of time that I have put in. This book agrees with many of the other books I have read as far as the digestive system being the root of our health.
I am finding that it is a very important part of our well being but that there isn't all that much agreement on how to get there. I think that one thing Dr. Junger has going for his approach is a very large support system. The support system alone is enough to have me consider it a good program. The book is full of important information however I wish it would have gone into a little more detail about how the program deals with different issues of the gut and how it heals them.
The information is good but could have used more scientific backing. However, it seems like Dr. Junger has his own evidence to back up his findings. I would recommended the book for individuals looking for more information on digestion help.
