Learn more about Mind-Gut-Immune Conn. by E. Mayer | Food & Body Link
From one of today’s leading experts on the emerging science of the microbiome comes a ground-breaking book that offers, for the first time, evidence that the gut-microbiome plays a pivotal role in the health crises of the twenty-first century.
In his acclaimed book, The Mind-Gut Connection, physician, UCLA professor, and researcher Dr. Emeran Mayer offered groundbreaking evidence of the critical role of the microbiome in neurological and cognitive health, proving once and for all the power and legitimacy of the “mind-body connection.” Now, in The Gut-Immune Connection, Dr. Mayer proposes an even more radical paradigm shift: that the gut microbiome is at the center of virtually every disease that defines our 21st-century public health crisis.
Cutting-edge research continues to advance our understanding of the function and impact of the billions of organisms that live in the GI tract, and in Dr. Mayer’s own research, he has amassed evidence that the “conversation” that takes place between these microbes and our various organs and bodily systems is critical to human health. When that conversation goes awry, we suffer, often becoming seriously ill.
Combining clinical experience with up-to-the-minute science, The Gut-Immune Connection offers a comprehensive look at the link between alterations to the gut microbiome and the development chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, as well as susceptibility to infectious diseases like Covid-19. Dr. Mayer argues that it’s essential we understand the profound and far-reaching effects of gut health and offers clear-cut strategies to reverse the steady upward rise of these illnesses, including a model for nutrition to support the microbiome.
But time is running out: a plague of antimicrobial resistance is only a few decades away if we don’t make critical changes to our food supply, including returning to sustainable practices that maintain the microbial diversity of the soil. To turn the tide of chronic and infectious disease tomorrow, we must shift the way we live today.
About the Author:
Emeran A. Mayer, MD, (emeranmayer.com), has studied mind brain body interactions for the last 40 years, with a particular emphasis on bidirectional communication between the brain, the gut and its microbiome. He is the executive director of the Oppenheimer Center for Stress and Resilience (uclacns.org) and the Co-director of the Digestive Diseases Research Center at the University of California at Los Angeles. He is the author of more than 300 scientific publications and several books, and his research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health for the past 25 years. He is considered a pioneer and world leader in the areas of brain gut microbiome interactions, chronic visceral pain and functional gastrointestinal disorders, and is the recipient of the prestigious 2016 Paul D. MacLean Award from the American Psychosomatic Society.
Mayer also has a longstanding interest in ancient healing traditions and has been involved as camera assistant in documentary film productions about the Yanomami people in the Orinoco region of Venezuela, the Asmat people in Irian Jaya, and most recently was Associate Producer of the award winning documentary “In Search of Balance”. He is Producer and co-Director of the upcoming documentary film “Interconnected Planet”.
He has appeared on National Public Radio (NPR), on Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and the documentary “In Search of Balance.” His work has been written about in the Atlantic, Scientific American, Time Magazine, the New York Times, the Guardian, and major European media outlets.
