Gut Health and Fasting for Beginners. Ultimate Guide on How to Use Fasting to Reprogram Your Microbiome. Prevent and Heal Chronic Gastrointestinal Disorders e.g., IBS, Leaky Gut, SIBO, etc. by Tina SheltonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book: ****
Performance: ****
This book is available for kindle unlimited and audible; I did both with Alexa reading the ebook for me. The audible version was much easier to follow and pay attention to while I also used the ebook to mark up and take notes in several areas.
This book is one (1) part gut health education and two (2) parts fasting strategies. For the most part, I believe the information covered, while not universally accepted, are probably inline with the general consensus across multiple health and nutrition professionals. The initial review of gut health is well presented and easy to understand. In particular there is an emphasis on diet, exercise and the use of biotics (especially after use of antibiotics). This is important information that many people (especially older generations) may not know or have not understood well and probably goes a long way toward partially explaining the general increase of GI disorders and obesity in the US. This is even more true when the author moves into the benefits and strategies for fasting, supported by a growing number of studies. Most people associate the various fasting programs with anecdotally supported weight lose strategies instead of more general holistic health, so they are often met with increased skepticism; however, as we better understand how our gut works, there does seem to be some support for fasting regardless of any ability to reduce weight (which is only one of eight potential health issues that can be triggered from gut dysbiosis). There are a number of fasting strategies covered and the author does a reasonably well reviewing the how and why for each (including warnings to be on the lookout for).
Introduction
Chapter 1: The Miracle of the Human Body
Chapter 2: Gut Health
Chapter 3: Understanding Fasting
Chapter 4: Your Gut Health Journey: Actionable Steps
Chapter 5: Let’s Think!
Chapter 6: Into the Science of Fasting
Chapter 7: Case Studies
Conclusion
I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
