"Dr. Will Bulsiewicz's patients seek him out first and foremost because he's a gastroenterologist. But more and more, he hears that in addition to their constipation or IBS, patients are also suffering from allergies, depression, thyroid problems, and more. What many don't realize is that the gut is the gateway for both health and illness. So, if you have issues with your gut, chances are you may have issues with chronic illness. In Plant Powered Plus Dr. Bulsiewicz offers a powerful program for addressing inflammation due to an imbalance in the gut with a combination of plant-forward diets. This book is a solutions-oriented approach to reclaiming a healthful, protective immune system that defends us rather than attacks us. Dr. Bulsiewicz draws the connections between gut issues and a variety of additional diagnoses and symptoms, including autoimmune disease, cardiometabolic disease, hormonal conditions, and more. His nutrition plan will resolve inflammation and reorient your immune system by healing your gut microbiome and gut barrier. Including guidance on creating your ideal immune-balancing diet, Plant Powered Plus will help you harness the power of the gut-immune connection and live a life of boundless health." --
