Synopsis

In Clean Gut, Alejandro Junger, M.D, New York Times bestselling author of Clean and creator of the world-famous Clean Program, delivers a complete, functional medicine toolkit for reversing disease and sustaining life-long health.

All of today’s most-diagnosed ailments can be traced back to an injured and irritated gut. The gut is an intricate and powerful system, naturally designed to protect and heal the body every moment of every day. And yet for far too many of us, this remarkable system is in disrepair, a condition often called leaky gut, which leads to all kinds of health problems―from extra pounds, aches and pains, allergies, mood swings, and lack of libido, to heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, insomnia, and depression.

But we no longer have to be sick to get healthy. In this groundbreaking program, Alejandro Junger, M.D. explains how instead of treating the symptoms as they arise, we can preemptively attack disease before it takes root in the gut.

No matter your current state of health, you will benefit from this program: Clean Gut will provide the tools for total gut repair, helping you put an end to everyday ailments, reverse chronic disease, and achieve true, long-lasting health.

Based on the four pillars of functional medicine, this breakthrough program shows you how to eliminate the root cause of disease:

• The Root Cause of Disease: Understand why an injured and irritated gut is the source of today’s most common ailments, from aches and pains to chronic illness.
• The 21-Day Clean Gut Program: Follow a clear, step-by-step elimination diet designed to remove obstacles, replace vital nutrients, and restore your digestive health.
• Identify Your Toxic Triggers: Use the 7-day reintroduction process to discover the specific foods like gluten and dairy that cause inflammation and irritation for you.
• Heal Autoimmune Disorders: Learn how calming the immune system by healing the gut can reverse the symptoms of conditions like allergies, thyroid issues, and even lupus.
• Restore Intestinal Flora: Reinoculate your system with the beneficial bacteria essential for proper digestion, detoxification, and achieving long-lasting health.
