The Holistic Gut Prescription

Book excerpt: “The most thorough guide to intestinal wellness I’ve seen to date . . . to reverse leaky gut, chronic infections, candida and chronic inflammation” (Alan Christianson, NMD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Metabolism Reset Diet). The Holistic Gut Prescription is designed to be a simple guide to healing the gut, based on the following premise: If people give the body what it needs to heal itself and remove the obstacles to its cure, then within reason, healing will follow. “Nature Cure” is not easy to employ, but it is usually easy to understand. There are only so many building blocks, and there are only so many possible obstacles to cure. The physician’s job is not to “make someone well,” but rather to facilitate the process of healing. In this guide, Dr. Lauren helps readers recognize which obstacles to a healthy gut they face, how to remove them, and how to supply the specific building blocks they lack so they can create their own personal path to optimal digestive wellness. “Dr. Lauren Deville drives this one HOME! This is one of the most comprehensive books on one of the most important subjects in our modern day, ‘gut health’ . . . Dr. Deville does an amazing job at helping you understand what the barriers to good gut health, therefore overall health, are and most importantly, what you can do about it to live your best life. This book covers everything you need to know to truly be empowered and help yourself heal. 5 stars from me! Bravo, excellent and timely work!” —Dr. Holly Lucille, ND, RN
