Incredibly, we are at the mercy of hundreds of trillions of single-celled organisms that exert control over every aspect of our mind and body's functioning. These are the various species of microbes that live in the intestine, mouth and skin, which work synergistically to communicate with each other and with each system in our body. You are home to your microbiota, and it wants to take care of you, but first you must protect it.

In Gut Fit, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals the emerging science that proves Hippocrates was right: all diseases begin in the gut. When our microbiome is imbalanced, it has an impact on our immune system, our hormone levels, our mental health and our longevity; also in the risk we have of suffering from autoimmune, heart and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as diabetes and cancer. However, all is not lost: diseases can also be cured in the gut if we choose to treat our microbes well. In this work, Dr. Gundry shows us how to do it.

Gut Fit shows us the incredibly complex and intelligent ecosystem that controls our health and teaches us how to heal the gut in order to avoid and reverse disease.
