Heal Your Leaky Gut Diet and Meal Plan: The Natural Detox Program to Improve Digestive Health (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781630062217)

The companion book to Dr. David Brownstein's Heal Your Leaky Gut: The Hidden Cause of Many Chronic Diseases.

Award-winning physician Dr. David Brownstein delves further into the mind-gut connection to provide a step-by-step plan to help put his findings into action with HEAL YOUR LEAKY GUT DIET AND MEAL PLAN. The gut--the gastrointestinal system--is designed to absorb nutrients that support our bodies and help us make energy, and get rid of things that we don't need or are toxic. But what happens when the system breaks down? Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) occurs when the lining of the small intestine is damaged, allowing foreign compounds to escape into your bloodstream, which weakens your immune system and triggers autoimmune reactions.

Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) not only impacts your digestive system, it can also lead to numerous chronic conditions including allergies, arthritis, depression, anxiety, eczema, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, and chronic fatigue. The good news is changing what you eat and drink is one of the best strategies for getting your body back on track. Dr. David Brownstein outlines simple steps you can take to change your diet and get on the path to better health:

• Eliminate "Gut Guzzlers" (the foods and beverages that make you sick)
