Discover the mind-gut connection, and boost your mood with the kings of gut-healthy fermented foods—kombucha and kimchi!
Did you know you can fight Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, MS, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, and more with what you eat? The discovery of the gut-brain-axis is quickly emerging as the most exciting health concept in decades. Mounting evidence has shown that gut bacteria aren't just good for a healthy immune system or maintaining our weight—they're also good for the brain!
In this groundbreaking book, Soki Choi takes us through the microbiotic revolution and the latest breakthroughs in gut-brain research that show how intestinal flora shapes neural development and brain biochemistry. Combining the latest science—presented in accessible, layman terms—with practical tips on how to eat, Choi also shares twenty of her best recipes for kombucha and kimchi, the fermented foods packed with good gut bacteria.
Follow your gut, treat food as medicine, and indulge in kombucha and kimchi to nourish your brain!
