Thank God for Pooping

I found this really helpful, I was looking for something to give me insight into issues after surgery.

I have read many books about the mind gut condition. This book is good for someone who is new to this theory. I found it interesting but nothing new that I didn't know already. It was a good refresher for me however.

This book is a light read with insight to our bodies that can change our daily life.

The only gripe I have with it is that this is a book that references studies, but there are no connotations to which study it is. There is just a list at the end of the book, but it doesn’t mention which article was used for which statement.

There is also a couple of writing errors, but that is just a a small thing that doesn’t take away from the experience. Even with the flaws I just mentioned, it is highly recommended to read this book. The wording is light and airy for the most part (which is an accomplishment for such a heavy topic).

Straightforward, well-written information about more aspects of health than pooping.

The food recommendations are straightforward and (mostly) easy to implement although some are costly - not the authors fault. I'm buying blueberries and walnuts today!

I have other books like Genius kitchen but this is so much easier to use - my only disappointment is that the gut-brain chapter was not longer. A link between IBS and depression was mentioned - I'm sure many people would like to know more but perhaps the research isn't extensive yet.
Highly recommended with enough detail to investigate further with confidence.

Thank God for Pooping by Alexander Wright got my attention first just because of this awesome book title!

Having personal issues with my stomach because of stress I was absolutely interested to get to know more about the "gut", it's health, how to deal with stress and all the important stuff to have a better life.

This book was a really quick read and totally interesting! Learned a lot new things I definitely wanna try out and I know now what's going on inside me. LOL
Definitely thinking about reading more about this topic.

Thanks a lot to Alexander Wright and BooksGoSocial for this ARC via NetGalley.
This is my honest review in my own words.

A comprehensive guide to gut health and the factors that affect it. Informative and easy to read. I’m fairly knowledgeable on the subject but I learned and understand better many things relating to gut health. Well worth the read for anyone wanting to learn how to improve their health and well being. I’m glad to have it as a resource to return to when needed.

Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this digital review copy.

I won't deny I picked this for the title, but it was surprisingly informative on what supplements and foods are healthy for not only improving gut health, but your overall health. Easy to read and not complicated with its terminology and it was fantastic to read that plantain contains serotonin because it just makes sense.

I loved this book! Why are we all walking around without proper education about our body?? This is divided into 10 chapters . Stomach acid, Gut health, Exercise, Medications, Supplements, Stress, Serotonin, Sleep, Food, the brain-gut connection.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

Wright skillfully breaks down the intricate relationship between gut health and various aspects of physical and mental well-being, including stress management, immune response, and serotonin production. He emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet, probiotics, and the role of exercise in maintaining a healthy gut flora.

What sets this book apart is its accessibility. Wright has a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that resonates with the layperson. His use of anecdotes and relatable metaphors makes the content engaging and digestible (pun intended). The book is peppered with actionable advice, from dietary tips to stress-reduction techniques, all aimed at improving gut health and, by extension, enhancing the reader’s quality of life.
