“An inspiring account of the enormous power that diet has to change the trajectory of our health.” —Erica D. Sonnenburg, senior research scientist, Stanford University School of Medicine We all know sugar is bad for us, so why can’t we stop eating it? A Gut Feeling gives a personal and scientific look into the world of microbes that live within our bodies and how they can explain our relationship to and cravings for certain foods. The microbiome is emerging as the answer to many of our most sought after questions. Using her own story and the science currently available, Heather Wise provides a window into the latest research on the vast world of microbes in our bodies. She explains in simple terms how what we eat can change the expression of our genes and how this symbiotic relationship between microbes and human cells can determine our health. A Gut Feeling offers practical steps to rebalancing and healing our gut microbiome to relieve stress, digestive upsets, inflammation, bloat, excess belly fat, and improve mood. Wise offers a needed alternative to the complex world of fad diets and calorie counting in this easy, evidence-based guide for wellbeing. Rooted in scientific research and providing a number of healthy sweet fixes high in prebiotic and probiotic foods that support the growth of healthy gut flora, this book is a practical guide to help heal our relationship with food and tune into what our gut has been trying to tell us. “Wise connects [the research] to real-life examples and ends each chapter with a short list of ‘Takeaways,’ which reinforce key concepts.” ―Booklist

When we first meet Payson Wright she is standing frozen with fear on a clear platform jutting out over the Grand Canyon almost a mile in the air. Fear of Heights is the story of Payson, a 43 year old woman whose adventurous trip across the country turns into a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Payson is tasked with driving her sister's 130 pound dog, Yeti, from her home in Washington, DC to Los Angeles, CA where her sister has relocated. The trip will take only ten days but what Payson finds along the way will change her life forever. Although pit stops include a visit to the wacky Corn Palace in South Dakota and a memorable night in Mount Rushmore, not all Payson's detours are of the travel variety. A brief stay in the Badlands of South Dakota proves that sometimes the most forbidding and desolate places on the planet can yield the biggest rewards.
