Das zweite Gehirn

When medical student and bestselling author Giulia Enders refers to an expert in "Darm mit Charme," it is the renowned gastroenterologist Prof. Emeran Mayer. In this book, the expert on the interaction between the gut and the brain combines cutting-edge insights from neuroscience with the latest research findings on the human gut microbiome. He illustrates the inseparable connection between our mind and digestive system, providing a wealth of practical information and guidance. He explains the complex interplay between the brain and gut microbiota— the microorganisms that inhabit our digestive tract— in a clear and coherent manner, offering a revolutionary and provocative perspective on this new field of research. This book reveals why a predominantly plant-based diet is the key to health, how stress and anxiety can lead to gut diseases and cognitive disorders, and how to properly interpret the signals from one's own body.
