The Whole Brain ─ The Microbiome Solution to Heal Depression, Anxiety, and Mental Fog Without Prescription Drugs

Every part of your body affects every other part of your body, and if any one area is out of whack, other systems will feel it too. There is a fundamental connection between the brain, the gut, the microbiome, and the thyroid: if any one part of this system is malfunctioning, it will impact the others-and this is where Healthy Gut, Healthy Brain comes in. Integrative health pioneer Dr. Raphael Kellman presents his revolutionary concept of "the whole brain" (a biological system made up of the microbiome, the gut, and the thyroid). Kellman then shares a completely new approach to curing depression and other mood problems by focusing on this interconnectedness, explaining how this system works in tandem to heal mood and mental disorders without toxic drugs.

Healthy Gut, Healthy Brain includes a two-part 60-day plan focusing on thyroid and gut/microbiome health. When all parts of this system are functioning at their peak, you experience Whole Brain health: focused mind, sharp memory, and calm, buoyant mood. No more anxiety. No more depression. And no more brain fog. Based on Dr. Kellman's decades of experience as a physician and his ongoing study of the latest science, the book offers a lively, accessible explanation of how the brain works and why, for optimal brain health, you need to heal the microbiome, the gut, and the thyroid.With a proprietary three-week plan (21 days of meal plans, featuring 50 original and simple recipes; a complete exercise program; and a program of daily meditations and affirmations). The Healthy Gut, Healthy Brain program will benefit people diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety as well as those who just want to feel better.
