Description
The definitive guide to understanding the connection between what you eat and how you feel, offering a 21-day plan to reset your relationship with your body and heal the gut inflammation caused by stress, shame, and trauma—from the New York Times bestselling author of Intuitive Fasting and Ketotarian.
It's easy to suffer from frustration and confusion when it comes to nutrition and health. With so much focus on what, when, and how to eat, the emotional component of eating tends to get left behind. Dr. Will Cole sheds light on the relationship between your physical and emotional health, providing a framework for you to better understand the gut-brain connection and influence that connection for the better. He illustrates how stress and shame can cause gut inflammation and sabotage your health in a process called Shameflammation. On the other end, problems with the gut can often present themselves in the form of mood swings, anxiety, and food cravings. True health isn’t just about what you eat, but how you feel.
Shameflammation can be the reason for chronic health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, leaky gut, IBS, and other GI disorders. Thankfully, it’s possible to heal the connection between the physical and mental with good food and somatic practices that support a healthy gut and brain. Dr. Cole offers holistic tools to help you reevaluate your relationship with food and your body, getting you back in touch with your gut feelings. His 21-Day Gut Feeling plan helps you bridge the gap between your emotions and your health, including:
• More than fifty healing recipes, such as Breakfast Fried Rice, Scallop Noodle Bowls, and Honey Grapefruit Sorbet
• Dietary prescriptions founded upon flexibility and awareness
• Mindfulness techniques to strengthen your intuition and discover your priorities
Gut Feelings approaches nutrition and wellness from a place of self-love and will help you eliminate stubborn health conditions, on your own terms.

A great guide for overall health and happiness!
I thoroughly enjoyed this very informative book! It’s packed full of important and useful information in an easy to understand format. He covers so many topics from nutrition to mindfulness to mind-gut connection and much more. He also includes a variety of nutrient dense recipes. I wish the topics in this book were part of curriculum in education. To learn about these ideas and have these resources early on would be incredibly beneficial.
Thank you NetGalley & Rodale Books for sending this book for review consideration.

Gut health and the connection between our mind and our gut is very appealing to me. I've been looking for more books on this topic. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the purpose of this review. Cole's book is amazingly informative and by far one of the clearest and best resource I've come across. The information is easy to get a handle on. Five stars!

Gut Feelings by Dr. Will Cole provides readers with a thorough understanding of gut health and the connection between the science of inflammation and gut issues.
I didn't know until reading that 60% of American adults have a chronic disease and that 40 percent of American adults have been diagnosed with multiple diseases. Dr. Cole helps his readers understand the connection between gut health and mental health which is my favorite part of the text as a mental health professional. He makes the science behind the body/mind connection clear and encourages readers to shed internalized shame around our eating practices. He encourages readers to take control of our habits and to become more intentional with what and how we eat and he does this by helping us focus on foods that make us feel good.
Dr. Cole designed a 21-day gut-feeling lifestyle plan to help readers explore and experiment with a more balanced approach to food and eating. The plan is based on four key principles: flexibility, lightness, awareness, and grace and shows readers exactly how what we eat impacts our overall mood and health. I'm excited to try the 21-day plan because it's not about dieting or restricting foods, it's about relating to our bodies from a place of compassion and understanding what we need to feel good and be well.
Thank you to the author and publisher for the e-arc copy!

Finally a book that talks about the important connection between physical symptoms and the mind! This is NOT a book that tells you you must eat this way or that way or you won’t be healthy/get better. The 21 day gut feeling plan is filled lots of great practical, easy-to-do advice. If you’re tired of hearing you must only eat this or that, Gut Feelings is a welcome change. Dr Cole understands the concept of each person/body is unique and so should their food choices be. But the overarching theme of nurture your head & your heart is revolutionary. I’m very pleased to see the information on EMDR as I have personally used it with amazing results.

Gut Feelings by Dr. Will Cole is the book I needed in my life right now! This book addresses the physical and emotional ways food affects us, and how our thoughts and feelings around food also impacts our bodies. I absolutely love Dr. Cole's writing style. He makes the science easy to understand and he comes across as very relatable.
The first 6 chapters are filled with the science behind Dr. Cole's 21-Day Gut-Feeling Plan, as well as offers suggestions for best optioned food and mindfulness practices.
Chapter 7 outlines the daily plan for the 21 days and I absolutely love how he lays things out. There is a suggested activity for each day that relates to the "gut" and one for "feeling" and none of them felt difficult to accomplish. I think each activity should take no more than 15 minutes or so.
The practices and recipes seem so simple and I look forward to implementing them in my life!
I highly recommend this book to everyone! It's easy to read and relatable!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
