Critic reviews

"The life-changing new plan that'll make you healthier, happier, and slimmer." ( Daily Mail)

Entertaining and enlightening!

I give additional credit to the author for the entertaining rendition of such a potentially dreadful topic. The narrator did not disappoint either--loved it! I want to find more books narrated by Mr. Gillies, he is a true master at this. I have read other books on this subject and think this one is one of the more concise and straight to the point deliveries of all things microbiome, and to be honest, I was very disappointed it ended! I felt he had more to say, or I just couldn't get enough of the fun narration and the engaging manner in which the book was written, I wanted more. Highly recommend if you're interested in what's going on in your gut and how those functions affect your entire body.

great info!

Great book for anyone seeking to understand and heal their gut. The book is easy to follow and understand and I enjoyed the author's humor. The narration was fantastic. I really enjoyed this book.

Fascinating nastiness and gory details

I liked hearing about all the details of digestion and understanding more about how it all works. I missed some parts from distractions but overall I learned a lot.

10 stars for performance! Great simple book!

I usually don't care for books narrated by english seaking peoople mainy becuse I can't understand them due to such a thick accents but James nailed it, he is and excellent narrator and so funny. He really brings the gut to life even though i have alotof knowledge already, I have had porblems since my late 20's when they took out my so called un-needed appendix, my life went downhill from there. All I ended up having was Salmonella all needed was a round of antibiotics and back then they didnt do any tests they just took it out. Please listen to me the APPENDIX is a very necessary organ don't ever let anyone tell you anything different. I had 3 bowel movements a day before and thought something was wrong with me. Boy have I learned alot in 35 yrs, Very needed organ, now I have to sandblast it out of me! Sorrry if TMI..... BUT TRUE!

Good book

Fun to list
Ten to I liked it. Helps me be healthy. You can be too!

If you care about your health get this book

I have been going out of my way to educate myself on health issues, and use my common sense to make up my own mind since "studies" can't really be trusted, and can be skewed to defend pretty much any health claim.

I've read a ton of health books, and this is in my top 3 favorites. Easy to follow and understand, great info and advice. (Google the author, he has like 8 books, just not on Audible, and lots of solid advice.)

Fascinating exploration of the gut biome

In this book, the author provides detailed explanations of the bacteria in your gut and how it affects your health. The book includes several examples of studies performed on the gut biome. some surprising facts are presented in an entertaining and compelling way.
