This book was released on 2024-01-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a comprehensive dietary program called the "Gut Check" program, designed to optimize gut health through a focused and specific diet plan. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing the gut microbiome, or "gut buddies," which play a crucial role in overall health and wellness. The program is built around the concepts of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, each serving a unique function in supporting gut health. Key components of the dietary plan include a strong emphasis on consuming polyphenol-rich foods, fermented foods, and foods that boost postbiotic production. It recommends a variety of specific foods, including vegetables, nuts, seeds, certain oils, and seafood, while also highlighting the importance of vitamin D supplementation and moderate alcohol consumption. The plan is careful to outline foods to avoid, such as lectin-rich plant foods, processed foods, excessive fruits (due to high fructose content), and sugar, as well as providing guidance on appropriate protein intake.
