Gut Wisdom: Understanding and Improving Your Digestive Health

By Alyce M. Sorokie

Book Overview

"A positive mental attitude is everything, and this inspirational as well as informative guide to good tummy health is fairly brimming with it."--Booklist

Are you eating a reasonable diet, getting enough exercise and still experiencing indigestion, bloat, or other "gut distress?" Do you experience frequent knots, butterflies, tension, or more severe symptoms in your gut?

That's because diet and exercise are only part of the equation--scientists are now proving what body/mind theorists have been saying all along: that the gut and brain are inextricably connected. Positive thoughts of joy, peace, and love contribute to a healthy gut. Negative thoughts of rage, resentment, and anxiety are like toxins in the gut.

Gut Wisdom will help you learn how to listen to your gut to achieve total body health. Unlike other books on digestion, it is a friendly, readable, easy-to-understand guide that gives you specific procedures you can use to alleviate indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, and many other common ailments.

"Gut Wisdom can help you be a happy Buddha once again. Smart, well-written, and documented. I recommend it."--Ron Klatz, M.D., D.O., author of Grow Young with HGH

"Gut Wisdom teaches how to listen to your gut's clues to bring your body, mind, and spirit into harmony."--Cynthia Helphingstine, Ph.D.

Customer Reviews

Gut Wisdom is 'the secret' to good health!

I enjoyed meeting Alyce Sorokie in Chicago as she glowingly debuted her wisdom in the form of Gut Wisdom. As I watched the packed room absorb her wisdom, I knew Alyce KNEW her stuff! Clearly, this woman is on a mission to help us all understand our `second brain.' You'd be wise to dance with this wisdom. The book mixes well researched information with first-hand experience. I enjoyed a healthy dose of dry humor. This book presents a no-nonsense review of facts folks normally shy away from thinking about - let alone talking about. I recommend this book to all my clients who use any liver cleansing program. People often wonder how my cleanse can do so much for them in nine days. I tell them to read Alyce's book and they'll understand how a happy, healthy liver plays a key role in a happy, healthy digestive system. As Alyce points out many times, a happy, healthy digestive systems works miracles in more ways than shedding unhealthy weight. Happy Cleansing! Souldancer
