SynopsisNational Bestseller Doctor of Natural Medicine and wellness authority Dr. Josh Axe delivers a groundbreaking, indispensable guide for understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most discussed yet little-understood health conditions: leaky gut syndrome. Do you have a leaky gut? For 80% of the population the answer is "yes"--and most people don't even realize it. Leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including: chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis. To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome. In Eat Dirt , Dr. Josh Axe explains that what we regard as modern "improvements" to our food supply--including refrigeration, sanitation, and modified grains--have damaged our intestinal health. In fact, the same organisms in soil that allow plants and animals to flourish are the ones we need for gut health. In Eat Dirt , Dr. Axe explains that it's essential to get a little "dirty" in our daily lives in order to support our gut bacteria and prevent leaky gut syndrome. Dr. Axe offers simple ways to get these needed microbes, from incorporating local honey and bee pollen into your diet to forgoing hand sanitizers and even ingesting a little probiotic-rich soil. Because leaky gut manifests differently in every individual, Dr. Axe also identifies the five main "gut types" and offers customizable plans--including diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations--to dramatically improve gut health in just thirty days. With a simple diet plan, recipes, and practical advice, Eat Dirt will help readers restore gut health and eliminate leaky gut for good., National Bestseller Doctor of Natural Medicine and wellness authority Dr. Josh Axe delivers a groundbreaking, indispensable guide for understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most discussed yet little-understood health conditions: leaky gut syndrome.

  • Good for those with gut issues

    Good book for those with gut issues. Very informative and specific. However if you have histamine issues from gut issues he does not go into that and his food and supplement recommendations have a lot of high histamine items. Much in this i had read for free but some not. This along with 'Stoping the Vicious Cycle' are excellent books for regaining gut health.

  • Life changing book

    I have multiple health issues including chronic inflammation in the joints (shoulders,) spine, hip, both wrists and arms and neck. I have become disabled to do my regular job as a professional waiter. This book by an M.D. author discusses why are we not healing. The gut is leaking, that's why. Nutrients are getting depleted and the good bacteria is disappearing because of antibiotics, processed food and un-helathy life style. I've been discussing the book with my brother who is a mega-health concerned person. I love this book and will be reading it few times until I follow the doctor's advices and hoping to heal from my injuries and chronic health issues. AND yes we need to eat some dirt. HE is absolutely right. Thank you

  • Highly Informative

    The book is very informative and easy to read. Dr. Axe doesn't use highfaluting language. Simple, everyday language is his style. He reveals a little known condition that affects thousands of people with clear directions and encouragement on how to heal one's gut.

  • Eat Dirt

    The books were older library handbooks… I’m assuming some library closed out or reduced inventory?? The books are great. This is a book I wanted to have hard copies of. Thank you.
