About this audiobook

In The Microbiome Solution, Dr. Robynne Chutkan, a preeminent gastroenterologist, explains how the standard Western diet and our super-sanitized lifestyles are starving our microbiomes, depleting the "good bugs" that are crucial for keeping us healthy, and encouraging overgrowth of exactly the wrong types of bacteria, which can leave us vulnerable to a host of autoimmune and chronic health conditions. Here, she shares her powerful program of simple yet effective lifestyle and diet changes to help you recover and reverse the damage, along with practical advice throughout, including: An overview of the "modern microbial disrupters" that are stripping our bodies of their natural protective systems Delicious, nourishing recipes that actually encourage the growth of good bacteria A list of important questions to ask your doctor if you have been prescribed an antibiotic A guide to choosing the right probiotics and supplements Critical information on how to prevent and recover from health conditions like eczema, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease, colitis, IBS, and more
