Love Your Gut: Supercharge Your Digestive Health and Transform Your Well-Being from the Inside Out

by Megan Rossi PhD

Overview

70 million Americans suffer from gut-related issues, diagnosed or otherwise. In Love Your Gut, Dr. Megan Rossi creates a safe place to learn about the gut that’s all about keeping it real by sticking with the evidence. She takes readers through its role in our immunity (70 percent of immune cells live in the gut), as well as in digestion and the absorption of nutrients, which, if not working right, can lead to an array of nutrition deficiencies and negative health consequences. Whatever their health goals may be—successful weight management, improved fitness levels, healthier skin, boosted immunity, or even happiness—taking the time to look after their gut, she says, is one of the best ways they can invest in their future.
 
Drawing from the latest research and a decade of experience as a dietitian and consultant at The Gut Health Clinic, Dr. Rossi explains how to feed your gut for a happier, healthier you, using simple, delicious and gut-boosting recipes. Love Your Gut is packed with over 50 easy-to-make meal ideas from delicious breakfast options such as banana, fig, and zucchini breakfast loaf and chickpea crêpes, to crowd-pleasing dinner recipes, like creamy pistachio and spinach pesto pasta and mouthwatering satay tofu skewers.
 
Alongside Dr. Rossi’s gut-friendly recipes, Love Your Gut also includes expert advice on how to deal with common complaints such as IBS and bloating, diagnose food intolerances, and manage good gut health with sleep and exercise routines. With easy-to-follow assessments and clear step-by-step action plans, readers can supercharge their digestive health and transform their overall wellbeing with this ultimate guide to make them happier and healthier from the inside out.

Editorial Reviews

Learn to love your gut with this jam-packed book.”—Jamie Oliver

“Dr. Rossi, a well-recognized dietitian and nutritionist, has done a remarkable job of distilling our knowledge base of the role of diet in IBS. With this guidance, individuals suffering from IBS will now have a toolkit to self-manage their symptoms, and also know when to go for additional help if needed.”—Douglas A. Drossman MD, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and President, Rome Foundation

“I've learned so much from Megan—looking after my gut is now a priority and I feel so good for it. She's a huge inspiration to us.”—Ella Mills, author and founder of Deliciously Ella

“In the crowded field of wellness and nutrition, packed with some who are flogging overpriced nonsense to the gullible and desperate, Rossi is that most welcome of things: someone who knows what she's talking about.”—The Times (UK)
