Being a list person when I saw the "Seven-X Plan" I hoped to come away with a neat checklist of seven dos or don'ts and then to be forever, blisfully "gut healthy". Okay, so maybe I knew it would be a bit more involved.56 chapters. That's right. A bit intimidating at first. Clearly this author had not just put together a few chapters of information and added a catchy (but long) title. My goodness this was not a quick read. Dr. Minocha instead gives the reader a methodical review of the digestive system, its affect on the rest of the body, and a look into each of the problems/disorders the digestive system suffers. He does so with a holistic approach. And then he takes the next step, the one we needed the most. He gives us ways to improve our digestive health or, if healthy to stay healthy.Once I realized what an excellent resource I had for so many of the things we face in everyday life I knew this would be one of those books I went back to over and over as the need arose. I have already found quite a few nuggets just off my initial perusal. Such as confirmation of my theory on artificial sweeteners, simple easy to follow plan for which supplements are needed, and adding tumeric to my diet. Most of his writing are in straightforward layman terms but a few were a bit heady medical jargon. I would like to have seen a summary page at the end of the seven steps.I recommend this book and especially would like to see new parents have this information prior to making decisions on what they will feed baby.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
