A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Whole-body health can be restored with Dr. Stengler’s integrative program, which includes prebiotic and probiotic recipes.

Here’s the truth: the health of your gut (including your microbiome) affects the health of all organs in the body. Your gut is also the epicenter of your immune system, so supporting it is crucial if you want more resiliency to infection or to be less prone to autoimmune disorders—or even cancer. The Holistic Guide to Gut Health dives into the gut-body connection so you can discover the true cause of many of your health issues—including leaky gut—and how to resolve them through scientific and clinically proven holistic methods.

Whether you’re concerned about a specific condition or overall health, this book offers recommendations for nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle habits as well as gut-healing recipes to support your goals. You’ll also get Dr. Stengler’s successful healing protocols for many common digestive issues such as acid reflux (GERD), candida overgrowth, IBS and IBD, and SIBO; and even non-digestive issues such as allergies and asthma, anxiety, depression, diabetes, fatigue, insomnia, joint pain and osteoarthritis, menopause systems, and PMS. The Holistic Guide to Gut Health arms you with all you need to make the right choices for you on your gut-healing journey.

“A brilliant exposé on the true and devastating impact of the leaky gut on the entire body. Dr. Stengler has done it again: he has deciphered and demystified the true health impact of a ‘leaky gut.’ The gut is so much more than the epicenter of digestion. It is the first line of defense and protection from the outside world. Each day we fuel our bodies with food and drink, and we depend on the innate wisdom and integrity of our GI tract and the microbiome to moderate and mitigate what enters our bloodstream and inner workings. Expanding on the concept of leaky gut–leaky brain, Dr. Mark gives you a play-by-play on how a leaky gut impacts each cell of your body. This book is a must-have to know the real truth about leaky gut and overall gut health.”— Chris Meletis, N.D., author of The Disciples’ Diet

“Dr. Stengler shares the research and physiology behind leaky gut syndrome with expertise. This book is written in such a way that patients, physicians, and other healthcare providers alike can learn about leaky gut syndrome and dysbiosis.”— Linette Williamson, M.D., ABAARM

“Chronic health problems dominate our healthcare systems and, for the most part, are ‘managed’ but not cured. In my 45 years in practice, I have come to understand that digestive disturbance is at the root of most chronic disease. Dr. Stengler has written the best book I have yet seen to explain this problem and relate it to various chronic diseases. More importantly, he provides a guide to healing these diseases through specific measures. This is a welcome and timely book. He has done an excellent job, and it shall occupy a spot in my personal library, as well as being a required book for my students. Thank you, Dr. Stengler.”— Jarred Zeff, N.D., L.Ac.

Medical science is just now catching up! In his book, he takes the reader on a journey of understanding the science of leaky gut and dysbiosis through practical steps to help individual conditions. He offers dietary and supplemental recommendations based on a combination of scientific evidence and decades of wisdom. Almost any medical condition you are suffering from deserves his approach to gut health! It is a book I will refer to and recommend to my patients.”— Karima Hirani, M.D., M.P.H., functional medicine practitioner, author of What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You: How Complementary and Alternative Medicine Can Help Your Pain
