collection of microbes living within us. The Good Gut empowers the
reader with the opportunity to embrace this leading edge science in
an actionable, user-friendly way.” —David Perlmutter, MD and

“We are facing a mass genocide threatening the lives of billions of
people across the globe. It is the killing and harming of our own
inner garden, our gut bacteria, by our processed diet, antibiotics,
acid blockers and other gut busting drugs. The Good Gut for the
first time connects the dots between the health of our gut flora or
microbiome and our health. A bad gut causes heart disease, obesity,
diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease and more, while a good gut can
prevent and heal most of what ails us in the 21st century. If you
want to learn how to cultivate your own inner garden and create
abundant good health, read The Good Gut!” —Mark Hyman, MD,
