Let's Talk Sh!t: Disease, Digestion, Gut Health, and Fecal Transplants

A humorous, easy-to-digest guide to the gut and next generation hope to combat heart disease, obesity, autism, Alzheimer's, and more.

Let's Talk Sh!t examines the human microbiome--the dynamic world of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that com­prises more than 50 percent of our mortal selves--and its role in health and well-being. This informative catch-all compendium is packed with knowledge about gastrointestinal disorders and their current treatments, offering readers next-generation hope to combat heart disease, obesity, autism, Alzheimer's, and more.

From constipation to cancer, research indicates that our unique microbiomes may be the basis for future advances in health and wellness. Dr. Sabine Hazan and Dr. Thomas Borody, leaders in microbiome research, explore the rea­son therapies may not be working for many and why fecal transplants may be part of the solution.

Additionally, the authors share nutri­tional tips, recipes, what foods to cut from your diet, as well as lifestyle changes you can make to avoid illness, improve your digestion, and support your microbiome.
