I adore this book. It was one of the very first gifts Jon gave me when we started dating. It’s a classic, in my opinion. March of the Microbes is the first microbiology book that I read just for fun, and I enjoyed it so much. It covers microbes in humans, food, drink, and nature. A quote about the book:

Dark Matter by James Kinross | Waterstones

The Hidden Half of Nature is one of the most beautifully written books about microbial life. I’ve read it twice now. If you like nature, gardening, plants, and human health, this book is for you.

This book goes into the nitty-gritty of how our gut microbiomes affect our food preferences and our health. Expect a good dose of science with a side of personal anecdotes. Restrictive: The microbiome diet can be very restrictive, especially in the first phase. It isn’t usually necessary for most people to cut out as many foods as the first phase requires. Corn, soy, eggs, grains, legumes, and dairy can have a very healthy place in most people’s diets.Each one of these books offers important topics in gut nutrition.

The Gut Microbiome: Exploring the Connection between Microbes

The British epidemiologist and science writer explained why you might be losing any weight even if you’re following these diet fads because the diet itself isn’t the only factor for potential weight loss. In The Microbiome Connection , doctors Pimentel and Rezaie provide explanations of what happens to IBS/SIBO patients from the first diagnosis to the end of treatment; reveal what changes can occur in the body in terms of the underlying physical processes to symptoms that may develop; and share evidence-based management and treatment of those symptoms through dietary changes and drug treatment. Also included are meal plans and sample menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all of which are accompanied by explanations of which foods to eat in moderation and which foods to avoid because they will feed bacteria in the gut and could cause additional symptoms. The Author, Rodney Dietert, is a professor of immunotoxicology at Cornell. He has a Ph.D. in immunogenetics from UT Austin. So, he’s a credible author. I also love that this cookbook offers 80 delicious recipes that you can follow for a simple 6-week meal plan to achieve your personal goals.
