The Holistic Gut Prescription


Book Description

“The most thorough guide to intestinal wellness I’ve seen to date . . . to reverse leaky gut, chronic infections, candida and chronic inflammation” (Alan Christianson, NMD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Metabolism Reset Diet). The Holistic Gut Prescription is designed to be a simple guide to healing the gut, based on the following premise: If people give the body what it needs to heal itself and remove the obstacles to its cure, then within reason, healing will follow. “Nature Cure” is not easy to employ, but it is usually easy to understand. There are only so many building blocks, and there are only so many possible obstacles to cure. The physician’s job is not to “make someone well,” but rather to facilitate the process of healing. In this guide, Dr. Lauren helps readers recognize which obstacles to a healthy gut they face, how to remove them, and how to supply the specific building blocks they lack so they can create their own personal path to optimal digestive wellness. “Dr. Lauren Deville drives this one HOME! This is one of the most comprehensive books on one of the most important subjects in our modern day, ‘gut health’ . . . Dr. Deville does an amazing job at helping you understand what the barriers to good gut health, therefore overall health, are and most importantly, what you can do about it to live your best life. This book covers everything you need to know to truly be empowered and help yourself heal. 5 stars from me! Bravo, excellent and timely work!” —Dr. Holly Lucille, ND, RN




The Holistic Guide to Gut Health


Book Description

A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr. Stengler's integrative program will restore whole-body health--and help protect you from virulent viruses and infections. The health of your gut directly affects whether you are healthy or sick. In this book you will learn the truth about the gut-body connection and what you can do to resolve your health issues. Unfortunately, many doctors are unaware of the all-too-common symptoms of leaky gut, and as a result, the root cause of your health problems may not be addressed. You may receive a prescription to help with your uncomfortable symptoms, but real healing at a deeper level will not occur. Did you know that all of the following conditions can be traced back to your gut? Digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), acid reflux, celiac disease, gas, and bloating Diabetes Headaches & trouble concentrating Joint pain/arthritis Anxiety & depression Eczema, allergies, and asthma Insomnia & fatigue Post-covid syndrome Here's the truth: the health of your gut (especially the small intestine and its microbiome) affects the health of all organs in the body--and it is often the root of all of your health problems. Your gut is also the epicenter of much of your immune system. If you want to have more resiliency to infection or be less prone to autoimmune disorders--or even cancer--then a healthy digestive system is necessary. This book will arm you with all of the information you need to determine if you have a leaky gut as well as natural solutions that heal the gut and thus the health of the body. Dr. Stengler's successful healing protocol includes supplements that target specific conditions, healthy lifestyle recommendations such as a stress detox, and delicious prebiotic, probiotic, and Mediterranean recipes chock full of gut-healing foods.
