The Mind-Gut Connection by MD Emeran Mayer

Is the function of the digestive system to power our mind?

Or is our brain a helpful organ that serves to fuel the digestive system?

Emeran Mayer explains (chapter 1):

If you put all your gut microbes together and shaped then into an organ, it would weigh between 2 and 6 pounds – on par with the brain…..

and follows with another fact:

The 1000 baterial species that make up the gut microbiota contain more than 7 million genes … This means that less than 1% of the combined human and microbial genes are actually of human origin!

A central theme is how a healthy gut translate into over all well-being. And importantly also the other way around. As an experienced gastroenterologist, Emeran Mayer shares a variety of different cases from patients.

The book conclude by eight recommendations to optimize gut microbes:

  1. Aim to maximize gut microbial diversity,
  2. Be mindful of prenatal nutrition
  3. Reduce the inflammation potential
  4. Eat smaller servings at meals
  5. Reduce stress and practice mindfulness
  6. Avoid eating when you are stress, angry or sad
  7. Enjoy the secret pleasures and social aspects of food
  8. Become an expert in listening to your gut feelings

These principles are discussed with scientific references over 289 pages. Thanks Emeran Mayer for writing this highly inspiring book.
