Description: "This book teaches how to read the gut and correct imbalances, rather than just masking them with drugs, which usually instigate other health problems.

They focus on the critical balance in the body's limbic system (the parts of the brain connected with fear, memory and hormone release) with what has been called "the second brain," the enteric nervous system that forms in and around the gut.
