The Top 3 Best and Worst Gut Health Books

A couple weeks ago, I went to a local bookstore to have a cup of coffee and do client work on my laptop.

After getting my matcha latte, I went to find a quiet corner to work in. Before I was able to sit down, though, I passed a young woman reading a well-known gut health book.

"What do you think of the book?" I asked her.

"It's okay," she said. "Have you read it?"

"Yes." I paused, deciding if I really would tell her what I thought. "I didn't like it."

She looked surprised, and over the next few minutes, I explained that I'm a gut health specialist, I had to heal my gut and hormones from IBS-C, 2 years of no period, and losing my hair. After doctors told me, "My labs look normal." I read that book, and it didn't heal me.

Now, I know why. But it was really sad and confusing to me that the "best" literature out there on gut health really didn't...help.

The young woman, who had graduated from nursing school just that week, then asked, "What would you recommend to read?"

It was out of that question that this episode was born.

On today's episode, I'm going to share the top 3 best (and worst) gut health books that I've read - all based on how effective they are on possibly helping you to heal.

Whether you want to save time knowing what not to read, or you are looking for a new list of books to dive into - this episode is for you.
