About this listen
Dr. Steven R. Gundry, the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox series, shares compelling evidence that our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our mental, emotional, and neuronal health—and shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.
In his previous bestselling books, Steven R. Gundry taught people how to reverse disease and improve health and well-being by preventing and repairing leaky gut. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, he delves even more deeply into the mysterious and long misunderstood world of the human microbiome. Here Dr. Gundry uncovers the complex and multifaceted ways in which our microbes are controlling the health and functioning of our brains, and how the gut-brain connection is made long before we are even born.
The Gut-Brain Paradox shines a fascinating light on how the one-two punch of leaky gut and gut dysbiosis, together driven by western diets, overuse of antibiotics and other medications, and environmental toxins allow pathogenic bacteria to take over. These “bad bugs” cause inflammation and hijack the intricate messaging systems that run from the gut to the brain, setting the stage for neurological changes, brain fog, neurodegeneration, mental health issues, personality alterations, and even addiction.
However, these changes are reversible. Featuring the latest science, easy-to-follow recipes, and supplement guides, The Gut-Brain Paradox shows us how to eat to restore not only our inner balance, but our mental energy and well-being, too.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An eye opening insight into the microbiome
I bought this on a whim and I’m pleased I did, as I honestly think this might be life changing for me.
Addressed in this book were things I’ve spent a lifetime battling and now there’s somebody telling me that maybe it’s not just a personality flaw but the microbes in my gut sending overwhelming messages to my brain.
- Disordered eating
- Heartburn and Gastro issues
- Anxiety
- Negative/depressive thoughts
The book explains how the state of your ‘inner terrain’ can have a huge impact on your brain and state of mind, and directly impact the hormones that affect your moods and mental health. This is proven- serotonin and the precursors to other mood altering hormones are produced in your intestinal tract. So if yours is full of ‘baddies’ causing distress then perhaps it will have an effect on the production of such hormones. Wow. And here I was thinking I just must be predisposed to a negative mindset. Could it all be because of my microbiome?
I am now eating prebiotics and taking probiotics, as well as altering my diet, and I’m going to see whether it has an impact on my mindset, appetite and attitude.
I’ve given this book four stars because the scientific information and explanation in the majority of the book is outstanding, but towards the end I feel like the author gets a little overzealous with his recommendations of what to do and not do, and you start feeling like you’re being advertised to about his other books.
