The Secret Life of Your Microbiome

Why Nature and Biodiversity are Essential to Health and Happiness

By: Susan L. Prescott,Alan C. Logan

Immerse Yourself in Nature and Nourish Your Microbiome for Optimal Health For too long our bodies have been viewed as capsules, sealed off and protected from 'bugs' by our immune systems and an arsenal of antibiotics, pesticides, processed foods, and antibacterial soaps. The more insulated from nature, the better. The Secret Life of Your Microbiome shatters this deeply held myth, presenting a revolutionary new paradigm, backed by vast science; we're deeply connected to the biodiversity of nature through our microbiomes, the rich microbial ecosystem of our guts and skin, and this connection is essential to health and happiness. From sugar-rich diets wiping out good gut bacteria and exacerbating depression, to microbes mediating phytonutrient absorption in the brain, to inflammation and cancer, the influence of biodiversity on our bodies is everywhere. The great communicator is our immune system, a 'mobile brain' that interacts with micro-organisms in and around us with profound health consequences. Written with pace, clarity, and humor by world-renowned scientists in immunology, nutrition, and environmental health, The Secret Life of Your Microbiome makes the irrefutable case that health and happiness depends fundamentally on the health of biodiversity, and shows how we can nurture this nature. Dr. Susan L. Prescott, MD, PhD is an internationally acclaimed immunologist and pediatrician. She has authored 250 scientific papers and The Allergy Epidemic , The Calling , and Origins . Dr. Alan C. Logan ND is a naturopathic doctor and researcher, a trusted media commentator, and co-author of Your Brain on Nature and The Clear Skin Diet . He and Prescott live in New York and Perth, Australia.

Early-life Solutions to the Modern Health Crisis

By: Susan Prescott

Prevention is the ultimate approach to reducing the burden of all kinds of disease, and the greatest potential for success lies in early life. What happens during early critical periods of life can determine our longevity and our risk of disease decades later. In other words: how well we start life will determine how well we finish it. Dr. Susan Prescott, a pediatrician internationally recognised for her work in disease prevention through healthier lifestyles, takes us on a journey of health, beginning from the first moments of life, revealing how adverse conditions during the important stages of our development can have a far more profound effect on our body structures, functions and even our developing behaviours. She draws on the latest research to explain how early life conditions determine our biological reserve, our capacity to deal with life's challenges, and how many of the consequences may not appear until much later in life. Covering a broad range of topics including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, allergy, arthritis and mental health, she shows how improving conditions in early life is critical for long-term health and longevity, and in prevention of adverse conditions"--Page 4 of cover.
