Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gallbladder unlike the heart, and other essential organs is not one that often comes to mind about health-related issues. With its purpose being to store and dispense bile when needed to the duodenum during digestion (as the bile helps break down fats and cholesterol), much attention isn't given to this particular organ. Most times when health issues occur the gallbladder is not usually given much attention, except in acute cases of gallbladder disorder. But the fact is the gallbladder like every other essential organ can be prone to diseases or disorders, and when this occurs the effect on the body can be critical and can lead to the removal of this said organ in some cases. So how then do you deal with being diagnosed with a gall bladder disorder?, Or how do you lessen the risk factors of being prone to developing gallbladder disorder? This book contains the variations of gallbladder disorder, how it can be diagnosed, the effect of diet on gallbladder disorders, how to embark on the right diet to help manage the condition, and tasty recipes to help aid your journey to recovery smoother. You don't have to worry about bland and monotonous dishes, even with restrictions on your diet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Gutbliss and one of today’s preeminent gastroenterologists distills the latest research on the microbiome into a practical program for boosting overall health. Michael Pollan’s widely discussed New York Times article, “Some of My Best Friends Are Germs,” was just the tip of the iceberg. The microbiome—the collective name for the trillions of bacteria that live in our gut—is today’s hottest medical news topic. Synthesizing the latest findings, Dr. Robynne Chutkan explains how the standard Western diet and lifestyle are starving our microbiome, depleting the “good bugs” that keep us healthy and encouraging overgrowth of exactly the wrong type of bacteria. The resulting imbalance makes us more prone to disease and obesity and negatively affects our metabolism, our hormones, our cravings, our immunity, and even our genes. But beyond the science, what sets this book apart is Dr. Chutkan’s powerful three-level program for optimizing your gut bacteria for good health. Dr. Chutkan shares: Why hand-sanitizing gels and antibiotics are stripping our bodies of their natural protective systems Essential prebiotics and probiotics Recipes with ingredients that replenish the microbiome for each rehab level Cutting-edge research on the connection between the microbiome and the brain An intro to the stool transplant, the superfix for a severely troubled microbiome Dr. Chutkan is one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America today, and this is the first book to distill the research into a practical, effective plan for replenishing our microbiomes. The Microbiome Solution will bring welcome relief to the millions who want to grow a good “gut garden”—and enjoy healthier, happier lives.
