Super-Powered Immunity Starts in the Gut

Michelle Schoffro Cook

A research-backed guide to healing your gut and boosting immunity

  • Presents a four-week plan for healing the gut and obtaining-and sustaining-optimum immune system function

  • Offers methods to assess your gut health, determine if you have a specific problem, and select which healing approach would be best

  • Shares powerful yet natural remedies centered on probiotics, fermented foods, herbs, essential oils, and nutritional supplements

Did you know that 70 percent of the immune system resides in the gut? As Dr. Michelle Schoffro Cook explains, a healthy, microbially balanced gastrointestinal tract is one of the biggest keys to warding off and fighting infectious diseases.

In this practical guide, Dr. Cook shares tools and hands-on methods to transform your gut health for greater immunity and well-being. Distilling the most recent research, she explains the connection between GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) and a strong gut-immune relationship. She offers methods to assess your gut health and select which healing approach is best. She explores some of the conditions and disorders that afflict the gut and lead to poor immune system performance, including excessive yeast growth, dysbiosis (where harmful microbes far outnumber the beneficial ones), and excessive gut permeability.

Dr. Cook shares the powerful yet natural remedies of herbs, essential oils, and nutritional supplements and looks at the role of probiotics and fermented foods in immunity. She examines new research about particular probiotic strains that are effective against even the most drug-resistant health conditions like MRSA and C. difficile. She explains the often-invisible, immune-depleting damage caused by antibiotic use and what to do immediately if you're taking antibiotics. Included also is Dr Cook's detailed seven-step plan for healing the gut and obtaining-and sustaining-optimum immune system function. This guide empowers you to take charge of your gut health, transform your immune system, and achieve vibrant health.
