A bold new plant-based plan that challenges popular keto and paleo diets from an award-winning
gastroenterologist.The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for
more than a decade but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz or Dr. B
illuminates in this groundbreaking book the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it
abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies
clearly now show--and what Dr. B preaches with his patients--is that gut health is the key to
boosting our metabolism balancing our hormones and taming the inflammation that causes a host
of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an
abundant variety of colorful plants. Forget about the fiber your grandmother used to take--the
cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains fiber energizes our
gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are
essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss repair leaky
gut strengthen the microbiome optimize the immune system reduce food sensitivities lower
cholesterol reverse type 2 diabetes improve brain function and even prevent cancer.
Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need weaken the microbes and
make our system vulnerable. As a former junk-food junkie Dr. B knows firsthand the power of
fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained.
