whoaaitslo: I still suffer a little, but I followed his recommendations and have been healing so much over the last year. I had horrible leaky gut and brain for 3 years. It takes dedication and patience to follow his recommendations, but you can heal your gut. I do prioritize this so I have cut back on other expenses.

Austin: I started having health issues in 2016, so I started doing research and doing my best to learn about the issues I was having.

While I still have health issues (autoimmune) this book was one of the first stepping stones in my journey. It has wonderful information that is understandable and helped me take the steps to heal. If you have any sort of health issue (especially chronic) or just want to know more about your health and the importance of a healthy gut, I highly recommend this book, even 7 years later!

It would have been to have mentioned about digestive enzymes.

Steven: My wife has been chronically ill for over five years. She got sick during the latter portion of our engagement. She was 23 years old when we got married. After a year of doctors visits they diagnosed her with Epstein-Barr and discovered she also had a parasite from when she had traveled abroad before we got married. Even after clearing these up, she was left with the blanket ‘chronic fatigue’ diagnosis. We’ve spent five years going to medical doctors, naturopaths, chiropracter’s and homeopathic practitioners. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars on all these treatments, and to marginal success.

Everything changed six months ago when a family member recommended this book. I read it and listened to it (via Audible). I told my wife it appeared to be fit her symptoms, and we couldn’t see any harm in giving it a shot. We had thought we were eating healthy before, but Dr Axe had an approach to healthy eating that, although not exactly radical, was still different than what we had been previously exposed to. So we decided to give it a try.

Within two weeks we saw a dramatic difference. Within a month we saw more improvement than we had seen in the last five...

Anon: Being a big fan of Dr Josh Axe's blog, I did not hesitate to purchase this book.

In Eat Dirt, Dr Josh Axe follows a dietary approach to gut issues broadly similar to the SCD, GAPS and Autoimmune Protocol diets . The main focus is on avoiding sugars and grains and eating good quality natural foods. However he adds his own tweaks to the formula and sets out five different approaches for different gut types.

I was already following a sugar and grain free diet but I'm always looking for ways to fine tune this approach for my own individual circumstances. Dr Axe gives a number of suggestions in his book which I've found helpful.

The book is easy to read, the science is set out in a way that's accessible to the layman, and there are some great recipes at the end.

Scooty-T: This book is well worth the price. It takes me a long time to read books as I find myself wandering from chapter to chapter. Listening to this book, I could not pull myself away. I have a metabolic disorder and this book explains things a layman can understand. This helps me in understanding why my body is doing what it is. If you can go the price for the audio book, I would highly recommend it. If not pick up the printed or kindle version.

You will not be disappointed. It is time to get back to a simpler way of looking at lifestyle. Drugs are NOT the answer in many cases.

Boxingladygrace: As usual Dr. Axe is bang on about nutrition and what Leaky Gut is and how it can be the root cause of many diseases out there. I myself have suffered with my health and an auto-immune disease so for me this has been a god-send. I have implemented most of his program and in just two months I've lost 20 lbs and been able to finally exercise the way I used to. I have more energy, sleep better, my moods are more uplifted and my brain a lot less foggy. If you are tired of being sick and tired or are looking to prevent disease then grab a copy of this book and give it a go. Check Dr. Axe out online as well. I purchased his leaky gut program and am so happy I did. I have access to all his videos and recipes etc.. and a private Facebook online community which helps so much.

Cobi: Ich habe schon seit einiger Zeit die Videos von Dr. Josh Axe, einem amerikanischen Ernährungsmediziner, auf YouTube verfolgt, daher war ich sehr gespannt auf sein Buch.

Es geht um den 'Leaky gut' (durchlässiger Magen-Darm-Trakt) , welcher mit diversen Erkrankungen in Verbindung stehen kann. Erkrankungen, die auch autoimmuner Natur sind und von der Schulmedizin nur symptomatisch behandelt werden können. Er unterscheidet in fünf verschiedene Kategorien/Typen von leaky gut...candida, immune, stressed, gastric, toxic. Durch diverse Einflüsse/Faktoren (Umweltgifte, zu viel Sauberkeit, Medikamente, Stress, falsche Ernährung, verarbeitete Lebensmittel etc.) in unseren täglichen Leben entstehen im Darm Entzündungen, welche die innere Schicht auf Dauer schädigen können. Als Folge dieser Schädigung gelangen Partikel in unsere Blutbahn oder die Lymphe, welche dort nicht vorhanden sein sollten. Sie können Allergien oder Autoimmunreaktionen auslösen bzw. diverse Konditionen, deren Ursache in der Schulmedizin oft nicht zuzuordnen ist.
Dazu zählt Dr. Josh Axe Beschwerden wie: ALS, M. Alzheimer, Depressionen, Angststörungen, Aufmerksamkeit Defizit Syndrom (ADHD),...

W Beck: 4.5 stars. Lots of great info. And in some ways, not enough.

Pros: well written, helpful index, good mix of anecdotal to science, lots of ideas for things that could help, many extras online since the book can't get into all the details for various topics. I think Axe knows his stuff and the advice is solid.

Cons (applies to many books so not necessarily singling this one out. And this is longer bc now I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the book's plan.):

Wish it had more detail on the eating plan or at least a link to detailed info. I'm familiar with paleo and autoimmune paleo (did Whole30 last year). I just find myself with a lot of questions and am already overwhelmed with how much I'll have to figure out to do this. Questions like whether a particular food is okay such as store bought kombucha. I don't know whether to trust that items in a store fit the bill. (I can't hand make everything. That would be hard when you feel ok but becomes nigh impossible when battling health issues. I make bone broth etc so I do make some things.)

If the author knows of good store items, that would help. Lots of people don't live near Whole Foods etc. I kind...
