How the gut influences our mood, decisions and well-being About the book When medical student and bestselling author Giulia Enders refers to an expert in *Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ*, it is the renowned gastroenterologist Prof. Emeran Mayer. In this book, the expert on the interaction between the gut and the brain combines cutting-edge findings from neuroscience with the latest research on the human gut microbiota. He highlights the inseparable link between our mind and digestive system and provides plenty of practical information and advice. In a clear and coherent manner, he explains the complex interplay between the brain and gut flora – that is, the microorganisms that live in our digestive tract – and offers a revolutionary and provocative perspective on this new field of research. This book explains why a predominantly plant-based diet is the key to good health, why stress and anxiety lead to gut disorders and cognitive impairments, and how to interpret your body’s signals correctly.  About the author Prof. Dr med.
