gut reads bundle

With a foreword by Tim Spector:

Alana and Lisa Macfarlane have spent the past few years interviewing tons of gut experts: scientists, academics, chefs and foodies to get the real scoop and science behind what we eat. We now know how important the gut is to our health and wellbeing, including its impact on our immune system and on diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and even mental health, but The Gut Stuff arms the reader with practical knowledge and tangible tips – both lifestyle and dietary – so they can make easy and life-changing decisions.

Chapters include:

Back to School – biology and the microbiome
Mind and Body – the gut and immunity, the gut and exercise, the gut and skin, the gut-brain axis, the gut and sleep, the gut and hormones
Scientific Interlude on Pre- and Probiotics
Bullsh*t Bin – mythbusting nutrition nonsense
What Can You Do – top tips to support your gut
I've Gutta Problem – common digestive issues

‘Twins are a great constant for medical research and we became the ‘chief guinea pigs’ for the British Gut project where we discovered that despite us having 100% the same DNA our guts have only 40% the same microbiota, which could explain why our bodies behave so differently. Thus our ‘gut journey’ began.’

Welcome to The Gut Stuff dinner table, you CAN sit with us! Join us as we peer into the wonderful world of food through the magnificent lens of gut health.

This is a practical cookbook with recipes that work with easily accessible ingredients to include the top three most important elements for a healthy digestive system; variety, fibre and ferments – but don’t think this book is all “holier than thou” super salads and sauerkraut (although there is a recipe for that); we’re talking generous food that is familiar, friendly and most importantly “gut-ilicious” – from Mac n Cheese to Jackfruit Tacos, Sourdough Pizzas and Shepherd’s Pie to beautifully generous salads and cheeky Kombucha Mocktails.

But we’re not just another cookbook, we include some of our favourite tips too! Cupboards full of spices and don’t know which spice girls to put in the band? Discover our handy guide to get them singing harmoniously together. Comprehensive shopping lists ensure your fridge and freezer are going to have serious glow ups. Speed-dating profiles on different types of ferments mean that you won’t get confused with pickles (like we did!) and so much more.

Chapters include: Breakfasts, Easy Lunches, Simple Dinners, Drinks and Snacks, and Ferments
