Gut: An Owner's Guide

Become body literate with Gut: An Owner's Guide, the next book in The Body Literacy Library, an enlightening series that will democratize health for a new generation of readers.

Gut: An Owner’s Guide is an informative, practical, and engaging introduction to this hidden-away part of the body. We tend to only pay attention to our gut when it tries to tell us something—when it feels uncomfortable or something goes wrong. This myth-busting book focuses on all aspects of gut health, so you can steer clear of Dr. Google and find out what will really make your gut happier and healthier. 

Author Dr. Austin Chiang is a world-renowned expert in gut health and TikTok star who believes everyone has a right to know and understand their body. He translates medical jargon into simple, clear prose, answering frequently asked patient queries and investigating what we fear and most misunderstand about our gut. If you feel awkward asking questions about poop, gas, bloating, and much more, this is the place to start getting answers.

From what should you eat (or not), to how often you should poop, to the microbiome and the brain/gut connection, this taboo-tackling book applies science to the everyday, with simple illustrations, checklists, FAQs, and myth busters, all supported by the latest medical research. Gut: An Owner’s Guide won’t just help you better understand your body—it might even change your life.
