Your Health Starts in Your Gut is a revolutionary guide that delves into the transformative power of gut-healthy living and eating, using a comprehensive, holistic approach. As gut health is widely considered to be the cornerstone of overall health, the book explores the scientific links between gut health and various diseases, including digestive problems, autoimmune diseases, and even mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. This essential read demystifies what gut health is and how to achieve it, emphasising that true wellness extends beyond diet alone – learn how sleep, stress management, and purposeful movement are integral to nurturing your gut and overall health.

Featuring a practical 10-day meal plan, Your Health Starts in Your Gut provides a clear roadmap to kickstart your journey toward optimal gut health. The book is enriched with delicious, easy-to-follow recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks, spotlighting the nutritional richness of indigenous African ingredients. The recipes are crafted to diversify your diet and your palate, encouraging you to embrace a variety of plants through a ‘plant points’ system that simplifies the process of incorporating more fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes into your meals, in a way that is both enjoyable and sustainable. And, for your convenience, each recipe is accompanied by the dish’s nutritional values, ensuring you get all the essential macronutrients needed for better gut health.

Whether you’re a seasoned health enthusiast or just beginning your wellness journey, Your Health Starts in Your Gut will equip you with the knowledge and tools to create wholesome, gut-friendly dishes that will leave you feeling revitalised and balanced. Embrace the wisdom of holistic health and discover how a happy gut can lead to a happier, healthier life.
