Gut Driven by by Ellen Postolowski

I picked up the original Gut book that everyone usually talks about a couple of years earlier at an airport. The first problem that I encountered in that book was that the author first began by talking about how hereditary eating habits ensure the makeup of a gut and how changing your diet for whatever reason might be harmful overall. She follows that up with an example of switching to a vegetarian diet. Given that my hereditary gut, for at least four generations (longer, I can presume, but this I can confirm), has been vegetarian, I found it off-putting, and I ended up not finishing the book, although a lonely little bookmark still sits in it. This book is different from the beginning. It might lean more into a plant-based diet than some people may prefer, but she does not neglect to include those people who want to continue to eat their regular diet. She lets them know when and how it can be injected back once they have completed the reset. The author talks in general about gut health, and given that she has personally used this to help herself, it is an effective tool in helping anyone interested. The reset is a simple process (to some extent), but one that needs to be followed properly. The author splits the content and instructions into digestible parts (I had to attempt the pun), making it a perfect book for anyone who has contemplated looking into manipulating their gut and trying something new. There are a lot of recipes included with tips to make the process easier and sustainable. I already recommended it to a couple of people and might even buy a hard copy for next year. I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
