True Wellness for Your Gut combines the best that Eastern and Western
medicine have to offer in the understanding, treatment, and prevention
of gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, and obesity. By blending modern
research with ancient practices, this book will help readers stay
positive and keep motivated along their journey toward better health
and overall well-being.
The authors have helped thousands of people through the use of surgery,
pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, herbs, qigong, tai chi, meditation, and
life-style counseling. They explain how Western medicine has
substantiated a long-held understanding of the gut held by Eastern
medicine - that digestive health significantly impacts and is impacted
by sleep, emotions, movement, food, and social support.
The authors discuss how sleep, exercise, nutritious food, stress
management, acupuncture, and qigong favorably impact the
gastrointestinal system. These modalities restore balance in the nerves,
hormones, and neurotransmitters that improve digestion and metabolism. A
special section is devoted to discussing the human gut microbiome, the
bacteria we harbor in our intestines, and how the microbiome is
essential to our health.
