This book is going to change your life! No, really it is...I particularly love how this book explains the effect stress, loneliness, hormones and soil (yes soil) has on the tummy. Dr Leeming also reveals that the science behind the new mantra of eating 30 plants a week for your gut microbiome is surprisingly weak and instead she offers easy to follow gut health hacks which feel less onerous. While many books on the gut tend to complicate matters for us normal people getting on with busy, sometimes stressful lives this one simplifies everything, breaking the evidence down into easy to follow bitesize guidance. It's also an enjoyable read which delves into the science behind 'gut feelings' and the links between food and mood * Lorraine Candy, Postcards from Midlife *
