The Mind-Gut Connection is a revolutionary new holistic view of
what keeps us healthy, ranging from the food choices we make to the
ways we can train our mind, with the ultimate goal of attaining
optimal health. -- "Kenneth R. Pelletier, PhD, MD, professor of

recognized as the 'second brain'. Dr. Emeran Mayer, a true expert
of this topic, has now written the best lay-public guide yet to
this spectacular part of ourselves. Recommended reading.-- "Antonio
Demasio, author of Descartes' Error"
Drawing on his vast experience as a practicing gastroenterologist,
Dr. Mayer writes about the connections that our brains have with
our guts, especially with the microbes that make the gut their
home. Describing a rapidly advancing realm of knowledge, this
thoughtful guide provides practical advice to improve health.--
"Martin J. Blaser, MD, author of Missing Microbes"
The Mind-Gut Connection presents the incredibly humbling reality
that our very perception and interpretation of the world around us
is virtually dictated by the microbes living within us. This book
redefines what it means to be healthy and eloquently provides the
means to manifest that goal.-- "David Perlmutter, MD, New York
Times bestselling author"
