:
A Sunday Times bestseller from the author featured on Netflix’s Hack Your Health — now in its 10th Anniversary edition.
Our gut is as important as our brain or heart, yet we know very little about how it works and many of us are too embarrassed to ask questions.
In Gut, Giulia Enders breaks this taboo, revealing the latest science on how much our digestive system has to offer.
From our miraculous gut bacteria — which can play a part in obesity, allergies, depression and even Alzheimer’s — to the best position to poo, this entertaining and informative health handbook shows that we can all benefit from getting to know the wondrous world of our inner workings.

Review quote:
‘This book is brilliant: it’s so interesting about this massive, underrated organ we have. But it also asks fantastic questions about how the gut is linked to all sorts of things — not just allergies and sensitivities, but possible mental health.
