In this captivating audiobook, wellness authority and Doctor of Natural Medicine, Dr. Josh Axe, presents a groundbreaking and vital guide to understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most widely discussed yet elusive health conditions: leaky gut syndrome.
Have you ever wondered if you have a leaky gut? Well, for a staggering 80% of the population, the answer is a resounding "yes" - and what's even more alarming is that most people aren't even aware of it. Leaky gut syndrome is the underlying cause of a multitude of ailments, ranging from chronic inflammation and allergies to autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.
Our well-being heavily relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the trillions of microorganisms that reside in our digestive system. When our digestive system is thrown off balance, serious health issues can arise, and our intestinal walls can develop minuscule openings, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to leak into our bloodstream. This detrimental condition is known as leaky gut syndrome.
In his enlightening book, Eat Dirt, Dr. Josh Axe reveals that the so-called advancements we've made to our food supply - such as refrigeration, sanitation, and modified grains - have actually compromised our gut health. Unbeknownst to many, the very organisms present in soil, which facilitate the flourishing of plants and animals, are the same ones we desperately need for optimal gut health. Dr. Axe asserts that incorporating a little "dirt" into our daily lives is essential for supporting our gut bacteria and preventing leaky gut syndrome. He provides practical ways to introduce these crucial microbes into our system, from consuming local honey and bee pollen to abstaining from excessive use of hand sanitizers and even ingesting probiotic-rich soil.
As leaky gut syndrome manifests uniquely in every individual, Dr. Axe identifies the five main "gut types" and offers personalized plans, including diet, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations, to drastically enhance gut health within a mere thirty days. Equipped with a straightforward diet plan, nourishing recipes, and valuable advice, Eat Dirt empowers listeners to restore their gut health and bid farewell to leaky gut syndrome once and for all.
