Gut health for women - Empowering your body from the inside out

As a momma of four, I am always just beside myself not knowing what to do with my weight and my health. But I know its the inside too. This book as marvelous! Just beautiful! And so encouraging and helpful to woman. It was laid out so it made it feel possible! And not like some book that just seem too complex. I absolutely devoured this book. I would love to share it with friends. Wonderfully done

Gut health is important not only to feel good but also because the functioning of the gut and the brain are intertwined. Women and the influence of their changing hormones make focusing on gut health even more important.

Utilizing a holistic approach, this book strives to integrate nutrition, exercise, and positive mental health to maintain overall well being. The different stages of a woman’s life and her needs in those areas are discussed, with practical suggestions provided for each. I particularly liked the specific dietary recommendations.

This is an excellent resource for women looking to improve their gut health or take preventative measures for the future.

A comprehensive approach to women’s health, the only thing addition I would have liked are some specific recipes….Perhaps there will be sequel?

this book is extremely informative yet easy to understand! it’s a great starting point to better understand how the guy influences women’s overall health, and provides many easy actionable steps to better gut and overall health through diet and exercise. looking forward to implementing some of the changes suggested to improve my health!

Christine has created an informative, useful guide for women, delving into the specifics even down to the different age groups and circumstances that affect women throughout their lives.

I found myself taking notes, particularly of the anti-inflammatory food advice and recipes. I appreciated the deep-dives into each food group, setting out why they're important and how they benefit the body, alongside budget-friendly shopping staples.

The only addition I'd recommend is the inclusion of occasional pictures of the recipes or graphs and illustrations of the various food groups - I believe that visual stimulus would greatly enhance the experience and make the advice stick more.

I was very pleased to receive this book for review. Thank you to the publisher, the author and Net Galley. My review opinions are my own.

Gut health is a serious heath issue and one I have been doing research on since my colonscopy process ruined my stomach. This is a great women's stomach health book, that all women can relate to. The author writes for all ages and stages of women's life. I found it to be a guidebook that I refer to often and utilize to build better gut health. Traditional medicine will ruin your stomach and if your seeking health for your gut without traditional medications the author has outlined healthy ways to heal our gut and maintain our gut health. I highly recommend this book for your health. This is the ultimate gut guidebook for women. Don't listen to your doctors read this book and utilize the authors suggestions for nutrition and supplements to heal your gut health.

I like this book, it was informative without sounding too much like a book for medical professionals. It spoke to you like a friend and in no way condescending. There are many ideas and recipes I will try.

This book is a great resource. For someone like me that struggles with my gut health daily, I found it very informative and useful. Highly recommend picking it up.

This could not have come at a better time to educate me on all the gut health issues as I approach my mid aged years. Oh how our body is constantly changing and this book gives some insight on staying healthy and balanced!

This book is insightful, knowledgeable, and full of wonderful information. As I read what the book was about, I thought this was me. I was always searching for answers, wanting to feel good without taking medication, and after reading the book, I realized I had a lot of the information, but it was scattered all over the place, and this book put it all together, so I could see the whole process and not just snippets of it. I can see all ready that it is becoming part of my journey. Making small changes, and taking what I learned and narrowing down to how my body works, has improved my gut, and I am confident I can continue feeling good. I will probably have to tweak it sometimes, and reread parts of the book, as different things crop up, It is empowering my body from the inside out.
I received an ARC from Todd Rosenthal through NetGalley.

This book is essentially a comprehensive guide to gut health. In other terms, it provides women with a wide variety of options to help their sensitive gut. What I appreciated about this book is that while it did have a heavy food based emphasis, that was not the only solution. Often times, when there is a guide or book that centers around gut health and a sensitive gut, it only focuses on food options, largely to FODMAP diet. This book however, not only provided readers with a wide-variety of anti-inflammatory foods, but it also provided reasons as to why those foods would be beneficial. What I appreciated was that there were explanations for why your gut might be struggling or why a certain food/diet might help that was easy to understand. I will say, I do think that this book serves best as a guide to keep on hand, rather than something to read straight through. It is short which means that if you do want to read it straight through, it will not take you long. However, I personally think that this book is something that would be more beneficial to keep on hand for when you need it. I would recommend first skimming through the book so that you know what the book offers, and reading the first couple of chapters, which provide a nice overview. However, there are numerous chapters on food options and paragraphs that just describe different foods or meals that you can eat. The information in those chapters are beneficial and will be really helpful to people, but know going into it that there is a good chunk that is just food recommendation chapters.

I feel like we all need to work on having an anti-inflammatory diet…I know I definitely do! Some tips shared:

-Think of your gut as your second brain
-Have a diet rich in diverse, fiber-packed foods, colorful veggies, fermented food, etc.
-Drink plenty of fluids to have your digestive system run smoothly
-Chronic inflammation creeps into your life due to stress, a poor diet, environmental toxins, etc.
-Need antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, and no processed foods/excess sugar
-Add in vibrant berries, flaxseeds, seasonal veggies and fruits, beans, sesame seeds, etc.

Notable lines:

-“ . . . remember that you have the power to influence your health through the choices you make at the dining table. Each meal is an opportunity to nourish your body and give it what it needs to thrive.”

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book!

As a woman in her 50s experiencing gut issues, I was drawn to this book by its title and description. Initially, I thought it might rehash many things I had already read on the subject, but I was pleasantly surprised and blown away by its content.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I found this book fascinating,, with some interesting facts. Now to put it into practice.

This is a good book for those just starting their research into gut health. I have a candida overgrowth and have been reading a lot about improving my gut health. So for me a lot of the information was not new. I do feel like there was a lot of “fluff” and repetition to the book that was not necessary.
