Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt like your gut health is bogging you down and as if you are not in control of the way you feel one moment to the next? You feel a sudden spring of energy as though you can just about tackle any task thrown at you, and then somehow, in the next moment you feel completely under the weather or uninspired? How about controlling the things you want to eat? The truth is; if you have ever felt like you were fighting to control your eating habits and your emotional states, that is because you are. We're not exactly fighting ourselves, but more specifically our microbiota, which comprises trillions of different bacteria who influence our behavior. More truth: DIS - EASES of unknown origins such as depression, obesity, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and diabetes now plague our everyday life. What could these dis-eases possibly have in common? The war of infectious pathogens has taken its toll on our beneficial microflora. These organisms influence the way our immune system develops, our motivational and emotional states, and even how much we crave specific foods. Do you want to take back control of your life?

Book Microbial Endocrinology

Download or read book Microbial Endocrinology written by Mark Lyte and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-10-22 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial endocrinology represents a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that is formed by the intersection of the fields of neurobiology and microbiology. This book will introduce a new perspective to the current understanding not only of the factors that mediate the ability of microbes to cause disease, but also to the mechanisms that maintain normal homeostasis. The discovery that microbes can directly respond to neuroendocrine hormones, as evidenced by increased growth and production of virulence-associated factors, provides for a new framework with which to investigate how microorganisms interface not only with vertebrates, but also with invertebrates and even plants. The reader will learn that the neuroendocrine hormones that one most commonly associates with mammals are actually found throughout the plant, insect and microbial communities to an extent that will undoubtedly surprise many, and most importantly, how interactions between microbes and neuroendocrine hormones can influence the pathophysiology of infectious disease.

Book Heal Your Leaky Gut

Download or read book Heal Your Leaky Gut written by David Brownstein and published by Humanix Books. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most illnesses start in the gut, including many you would not even think of! If your gut isn’t functioning right, it sets the stage for illness and disease. 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. Traditional physicians don’t understand what LGS is, much less how to diagnose and treat it. In fact, it is estimated that more than 80 percent of people with chronic illnesses have leaky gut, an overgrowth of bad bacteria, or not enough good bacteria. Here are some symptoms that may be caused by LGS: Digestive complaints, acid reflux, IBS, Crohn’s disease Joint and muscle pain, arthritis Obesity and food allergies Headaches, depression, anxiety, ADHD Itchy skin, rashes, eczema, acne, rosacea, psoriasis In Heal Your Leaky Gut, Dr. David Brownstein will explain how the gut, like the brain, heart, and liver, needs to be properly nourished in order for it to function correctly. Simply stated, if your gut is not healthy, your immune system is going to suffer. Improving your gut health and taking fewer drugs will help you feel better and look younger, improve your brain function, and treat myriad medical conditions. This book will give you all the information you need to change what you are now doing so you can have optimal gut health and, as a result, overall health and well-being.

Book Eat Dirt

    Book Details:
  • Author : Dr Josh Axe
  • Publisher : Pan Macmillan
  • Release : 2016-04-07
  • ISBN : 1509820973
  • Pages : 350 pages

Download or read book Eat Dirt written by Dr Josh Axe and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affecting 80% of the population, 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. In order to keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. In Eat Dirt, Dr 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. 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 and manifests differently in every individual. In Eat Dirt, Dr Axe identifies the five main types of leaky gut syndrome and offers customizable 30-day plans for diagnosing and treating each 'gut type' with diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. He 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, and 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. The premise is simple: identify your gut type, learn which foods to eat and to avoid, incorporate your daily dose of 'dirt', and make simple lifestyle changes.

Book Microbial Endocrinology  The Microbiota Gut Brain Axis in Health and Disease

Download or read book Microbial Endocrinology The Microbiota Gut Brain Axis in Health and Disease written by Mark Lyte and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-05 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of microbial endocrinology is expressly devoted to understanding the mechanisms by which the microbiota (bacteria within the microbiome) interact with the host (“us”). This interaction is a two-way street and the driving force that governs these interactions are the neuroendocrine products of both the host and the microbiota. Chapters include neuroendocrine hormone-induced changes in gene expression and microbial endocrinology and probiotics. This is the first in a series of books dedicated to understanding how bi-directional communication between host and bacteria represents the cutting edge of translational medical research, and hopefully identifies new ways to understand the mechanisms that determine health and disease.​

This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning disabilities, she is acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realized that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders.
