Book Description
“Persuasive, impassioned. . . hopeful news [for those] suffering from functional bowel disease.” — New York Times Book Review Dr. Michael Gershon’s groundbreaking book fills the gap between what you need to know—and what your doctor has time to tell you. Dr. Michael Gershon has devoted his career to understanding the human bowel (the stomach, esophagus, small intestine, and colon). His thirty years of research have led to an extraordinary rediscovery: nerve cells in the gut that act as a brain. This "second brain" can control our gut all by itself. Our two brains—the one in our head and the one in our bowel—must cooperate. If they do not, then there is chaos in the gut and misery in the head—everything from "butterflies" to cramps, from diarrhea to constipation. Dr. Gershon's work has led to radical new understandings about a wide range of gastrointestinal problems including gastroenteritis, nervous stomach, and irritable bowel syndrome. The Second Brain represents a quantum leap in medical knowledge and is already benefiting patients whose symptoms were previously dismissed as neurotic or "it's all in your head."

Digestive Intelligence
Author: Irina Matveikova
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1844098591
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Digestive Intelligence tells the fascinating story of how our digestive systems are the centre of our bodies’ second brain and how we think and live our emotions via our stomachs. Not surprising when you consider there is something equivalent to the size of a village football pitch hiding inside our bellies--that’s the incredible magnitude of our digestive systems. Dr Matveikova answers the obvious questions: “How?” and “Why can this be so?” by explaining, in straight forward layman’s language, that the digestive system contains more than one million neurones, identical to those in the brain and is responsible for producing 90% of the body’s hormone, serotonin, the all-important hormone which makes us feel happy and full of wellbeing. It follows that, if our stomach is “out of sorts” we feel irritable and lacking in energy; and those feelings block our intellectual productivity, disorientate us and completely change our thought patterns and physical processes.

Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
The brain ... There is no other part of the human anatomy that is so intriguing. How does it develop and function and why does it sometimes, tragically, degenerate? The answers are complex. In Discovering the Brain, science writer Sandra Ackerman cuts through the complexity to bring this vital topic to the public. The 1990s were declared the "Decade of the Brain" by former President Bush, and the neuroscience community responded with a host of new investigations and conferences. Discovering the Brain is based on the Institute of Medicine conference, Decade of the Brain: Frontiers in Neuroscience and Brain Research. Discovering the Brain is a "field guide" to the brainâ€"an easy-to-read discussion of the brain's physical structure and where functions such as language and music appreciation lie. Ackerman examines: How electrical and chemical signals are conveyed in the brain. The mechanisms by which we see, hear, think, and pay attentionâ€"and how a "gut feeling" actually originates in the brain. Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments. Finally, she explores the potential for major advances during the "Decade of the Brain," with a look at medical imaging techniquesâ€"what various technologies can and cannot tell usâ€"and how the public and private sectors can contribute to continued advances in neuroscience. This highly readable volume will provide the public and policymakersâ€"and many scientists as wellâ€"with a helpful guide to understanding the many discoveries that are sure to be announced throughout the "Decade of the Brain."

Did you know that you have a "second brain" hidden in the walls of your digestive system? Your second brain is your gut, and it wields far more power over your physical, emotional, and mental health than you think! Your gut, known scientifically as the enteric nervous system (ENS), houses two thin membranes lined with over 100 million nerve cells that stretch from your oesophagus to your rectum. Its role is to regulate your digestion, including swallowing, releasing digestive enzymes, controlling nutrient absorption, and eliminating waste. Unlike your main brain, your gut isn't capable of reason. However, it does a pretty great job at communicating back and forth with your main brain, and may trigger great emotional shifts whenever you experience irritation in your gastrointestinal system, such as functional bowel disorder and irritable bowel syndrome. The problem is that not a lot of people know this fact, which leads them taking their guts' health for granted. And when you don't look after your gut, your overall health is going to be in a lot of trouble! Luckily for you, there's now a solution. Let me introduce you "Your Second Brain" by Leo Carter. In his book, you will learn why your gut controls you more than you think, and find out why it's the key to your health and happiness! Over the course of this life-changing book, you will: Successfully keep diseases and illnesses at bay with PROVEN tips to keep your second brain healthy Greatly boost your memory and productivity using FOOLPROOF ways to keep your second brain fit Significantly improve your gut health whatever lifestyle you lead by knowing what foods to eat and avoid Fast effectively and strengthen your immune system using various FIELD-TESTED fasting methods Efficiently use the BEST prebiotics, probiotics, and psychobiotics to your advantage and enhance your gut health for life Effectively enhance your diet and maximize on your exercise routines by finding out your core areas to work on And so much more! A happy, healthy gut regulates inflammation successfully, leading to less aches and pains, a boost in mental clarity, energy, and motivation, as well as better-looking skin. But, is a healthy gut the answer to keeping illnesses and diseases FOR GOOD? The short answer is NO. However, a healthy gut does lead to diminished symptoms, reduced risk of chronic illnesses, and increased general feeling of health and wellness. Using the easy-to-understand, science-backed information found in this book, you will be able to not only understand how your brain and gut work together to keep you happy and vibrant, but also recognize and find ways to maintain a fully functional system that will serve you well for the rest of your days.

The Mind-Gut Connection
Author: Emeran Mayer
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062846825
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Cutting-edge neuroscience combines with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome to inform this practical guide that proves once and for all the inextricable, biological link between mind and body. We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right;” the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Aryuvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the microbiome—the microorganisms that live inside us—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health. The Mind-Gut Connection, shows how to keep the communication brain-gut communication clear and balanced to: • Heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet • Balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods • Promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating a healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption • Boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s • Generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression • Prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome; food sensitivities and allergies; and IBS; as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating • And much more. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
