Description

Improve your overall health by healing your digestive system with a sensible approach to food and 100 satisfying recipes.

Created for the Grayshott Spa, renowned for its holistic approach to well-being, the Grayshott Plan focuses on digestive health as a route to true health. In Good Gut, Great Health, you will learn to use the Grayshott Plan to boost your energy and rebalance weight safely through a nutrient-rich diet that will give you everything you need to face the demands of modern life.

The Plan dispels the misguided notion of "detoxifying" through spartan, punitive regimes and instead focuses on regaining good health by eating the right foods to aid the body's natural detoxification. The Plan recommends quality grass-fed red meats, fish, eggs, fermented foods, butter, avocado, and organic vegetables. This is not a plan of privation but a sensible, satisfying, science-based program that brings you back to feeling great.

The first section introduces the Plan and provides information and meal plans for a short-term course to rest and repair your digestive tract. The Post-Plan information shows you more foods to introduce to your diet and keep your gut healthy.

The recipe section contains various delicious meals split into breakfasts, soups, main meals, vegetable sides, salads, and special occasions and includes satisfying and nourishing meals like:

Baked eggs with tomatoes, peppers, and chorizoPorchetta with plum and fig chutneyGrilled sole fillets marinated in ginger and tangerineCrayfish cakes with coconut and mango, and many more With a hundred different options and customizable diet schedule templates to ensure your success on the Plan, Good Gut, Great Health is the perfect book to start you on your journey to a more natural, healthy diet. Combining science and efficacy to fit the hectic schedule of modern life, the Grayshott Plan is almost too good to be true!

I was pleasantly surprised on how informative this book was. Although it is mainly a cookbook, it has a great deal of information on good gut health as well. Most of it is in line with what I have found to be true for me as well. The recipes have beautiful pictures, which is always a plus! My only complaints are that the serving sizes seem to be so small that I doubt many of the meals would fill me, though they are plated beautifully, and many of them seemed to be made with expensive ingredients and are labor intensive. As a busy momma, I'm not really the target audience, I guess. For those with gut problems who enjoy cooking and have more time to do so though, I feel like this book would be well loved! A few of the recipes are less labor intensive and I did enjoy the information section prior to the recipes.

A great cookbook and very good resource! I'm so glad gut health is becoming a bigger and more important topic! I've already tried a few of these recipes and can't wait to try more!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

Good Gut, Great Health is a great guide for living and eating mindfully. The book promotes a healthy lifestyle and mindset and is filled with recipes that encourage eating the rainbow. Healthy eating can be delicious and full of flavor! Gorgeous photos accompany every recipe and I’m looking forward to testing many of the recipes in the months ahead.

Thank you to Chartwell Books and NetGalley for this ARC.

Good Gut, Great Health is a great cookbook with lots of information on gut health and how to improve and heal one's digestive tract. There is a 21-day plan to follow, as well as a "post plan" plan, to restore the digestive system and give information on how to add different foods back. There is plenty of information here but this is mostly a cookbook with beautiful photos, as well as delicious recipes. My one complaint is the very small serving sizes for these recipes. I also do not think fasting is a good way to restore a digestive tract, like is suggested and scheduled here in the plan. But I thought there were many delicious recipes and I plan to try a few of them at least.

This book is beautiful! I can't wait to start trying these recipes. They all look so tasty and healthy and the photos are gorgeous. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Interesting premise, lovely photographs, and a lot of gut-health theory behind a 21-day healing plan and a less-restrictive, but still quite restrictive, sustainment. Organic proteins and vegetables are the core of the diet. Grains and dairy are off-limits. Those struggling with digestive issues may find this to be a helpful reset. It may be expensive to continue long-term.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Super helpful for people with digestive issues (like gerd). If you focus on what you can eat, instead of what you can’t, this book has lots of wonderful recipes and recommendations. It’s a 21 day plan to start healing gut issues but the book also includes after the plan recipes. If you are use to eating whatever you want, the plan will be an adjustment but your whole body will thank you for it.

Good Gut, Great Health is full of information and recipes aiming to improve your health by improving the digestive tract and focussing on the gut. It is filled with gut healthy recipes that can be adapted and varied for individual tastes, but does contain a huge amount of additional information and a plan to follow. There are mouth watering pictures and lots of encouragement to help you along the way. This is a great book for anyone looking to improve their gut health and learning more on the subject.

Good Gut Great Health is a terrific book for anyone exploring issues of the gut. The book begins with excellent information about gut health and the process of healing through diet. This task often seems very overwhelming but I found this title to be easy to follow and contained good options to talk to your daughter about. The truly outstanding section is the recipes. The recipes are easy to understand, have ingredients you already may have at home. I also appreciated the ways to make the dishes in different ways. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve gut health.
