Publisher's Summary
The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works.
In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and - let's be honest - somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy. And scientists are only just discovering quite how much it has to offer; new research shows that gut bacteria can play a role in everything from obesity and allergies to Alzheimer's.
Beginning with the personal experience of illness that inspired her research and going on to explain everything from the basics of nutrient absorption to the latest science linking bowel bacteria with depression, Enders has written an entertaining, informative health handbook.
Gut definitely shows that we can all benefit from getting to know the wondrous world of our inner workings. In this charming book, young scientist Giulia Enders takes us on a fascinating tour of our insides. Her message is simple: if we treat our gut well, it will treat us well in return. But how do we do that? And why do we need to?
Find out in this surprising and surprisingly funny exploration of the least understood of our organs.
Giulia Enders is a two-time scholarship winner of the Heraeus Foundation and is doing research for her medical doctorate at the Institute for Microbiology in Frankfurt. In 2012 her presentation of Gut won her first prize at the Science Slam in Berlin and went viral on YouTube.

Excellent! Life changing information, beautifully simplified.
This information is essential for everyone. It provides important information in a straight forward easy to understand and humorous manner. It's preposterous that this book is not part of the school curriculum. If it were its ability to prevent illness and strains on modern medical facilities would be invaluable.

I really enjoyed this
I really enjoyed this book. It made me think differently about my gut, the little colony we have inside us and how to best take care of it so it will take care of me.
There is so much information in here that I will be listening to it at least a couple of times.
I am expecting some of the concepts raise will be of great assistance to me as I begin to study nutrition at university.

Interesting, Insightful and Educational
Wish this book was around when I studied to be a Registered Nurse, its content is not only easy to understand, its a unique educational book that allows its reader to visualise and understand the workings of the human body in fascinating way. Thank you :)

Factual and scientifically based yet fun
This book is a great educational piece! While dry at times, this is due to it's evidence based nature. The book is well written with relatable analogies to assist those of us 'not so scientifically minded' keep up!
