I was hoping for more from this book but it contained very basic information written as a college essay. There is also a lot of random stock imagery thrown in. Block of text information, drop in the stock image of a group of women smiling!

Personally, Women and Gut Health was a two-star book for me, but I am bumping up the rating to three stars because it could be a very beneficial book for those who don't have a lot of background information about gut health and are looking to start at the basics.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

If you are having issues with your gut, then please read this book. I wish I would have had this book a few years ago. It would have saved me some time and heartache. I found this book to be very helpful and instrumental with getting me back on track,

Read the first couple of chapters but found it very repetitive and didn't finish it, unfortunately.
It is a subject I am very interested in but this book wasn't to my taste.

For someone who doesn’t know a lot about women and gut health, I thought this was a good book for a starting point. It provides introductory information on the gut health of women and some things you can do that may improve it. I enjoyed the simplicity of the writing style throughout this book. It did not overload me with too much bulky information. I do, however, wish that it went a little bit more in depth towards the end of the book with the information they talked about. Starting the book out slow and basic was great, especially for those who don’t have a lot of background knowledge on this topic, but I do think it should have picked up the pace a little and provided more detail as the book went on.

A moderately interesting treatise on the causes of gut health, and what women can do to ameliorate gut issues and further prevent gut issues. However, this book could have used more editing— there is so much repeated material that it left me suspicious that the book was a collection of magazine articles regarding gut health.

I might recommend “Women and Gut Health” for some who is looking for an introduction to the topic: two and one half stars.

This would be a good introduction for someone on gut health
I would have liked to hear some more relevant or detailed case studies and some examples of diets or nutrition plans to alleviate the symptoms mentioned

Overall, this book was informative. It was generally easy to follow and well written. I was hoping for a little bit more resources and research, but it was great overall.

This book didn't tell me anything I don't already know. I have read many books and articles on the subject over the past five years; I have regular appointments with a gastroenterologist, and I've met with a functional medicine doctor. My husband and I both have gastro issues that we deal with. So maybe I've just overdone it with research. The thing that bothered me about this book was there was so much repetition, like the author was trying really hard to get a required word count. And adding in sentences such as listing all the different words for "poop" was just ridiculous. I get it, she was trying to make the subject more appealing, or whatever, but if you are reading a book like this, you don't want silliness.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for providing this epublication.

I thought this book had good introductory information about gut health. I do not think it was diverse in information. The formatting made it read like a blog style internet search then a medical book which makes it feel not trustworthy.

This book could be a good basic introduction to digestive health and awareness. However, I found it difficult to believe much of what the author stated as facts because there were no cited studies to back up the claims. Some of the advice in this book regarding IBS to be contradictory to the advice I have been given by a qualified gastroenterologist.

Given this is an entry level guide, the simple language and explanations are fitting however there was a great deal of repetition and the author even contradicted themselves.

This book is a great resource for women searching to find balance in their gut biome. It gives clear and simple explanations of bodily processes, as well as components that work for or against women's bodies. The discussion of the brain-gut connection was highly fascinating, and provides evidence of the old saying, "trust your gut'. I will recommend this book for our collection. Thank you for the good read!

Women and Gut Health by J Johnson explores the gut and it's impact on women's health. The book was informative regarding how the gut works. I would recommend it to those who are at the beginning of their journey to better understand their gut. Unfortunately, the book doesn't provide to much information on how to improve one's gut health. It's as if the author was afraid to give an medical advice. I won't find myself using this book as a resource as I continue on my own journey.

This book really will transform your life if you follow the easy to understand message and information. I loved the holistic approach this well written book provides and it's so beneficial to women. The overall message is self care and eating right is a great start. Such wonderful advice and encouragement on the healthiest ways to achieve a healthier lifestyle. If you implement the information and suggestions they will help you heal your gut and your mind giving you a much clearer focus.

For so many women issues around gut health can be very embarassing. So too often people don't have the information about how much the gut impacts overall wellbeing. This book provides an overviw of the digestive system and the things that can impact its functioning. Myths and questions for reflection are included to help aid in understanding of your own personal gut health and the changes that you could make to maximize your health. Overall, this is a handy guide that someone could refer to anytime they begin experiencing changes.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
