The Anxiety Shift - Gut Rehab Neil Gabriel

The traditional belief that the causes of anxiety are rooted solely in the mind has started to fade in recent years as more and more studies are identifying physical processes in the body that can trigger and heighten anxiety. Not the imbalanced brain chemicals that were the focus and distraction of the past three decades, that helped spawn an entire pharmaceutical industry, but much simpler and seemingly unconnected processes that lie in the gut and affect our minds, moods and anxieties. In The Anxiety Shift - Gut Rehab, Neil Gabriel explores these different ways in which the body, or more accurately the gut, can influence the mind and keep it in a constant state of anxiety. What started with a simple connection between the gut bacteria and anxious thoughts, has grown into a much bigger picture involving intestinal permeability, food intolerance, auto immune responses and inflammation that can lead to excessive general anxiety symptoms. The Anxiety Shift - Gut Rehab not only leads you through the different ways that your gut could be fuelling your anxiety, but it also offers an overall solution to the problem and shows you step by step how you can reset your gut to the "factory setting" and switch off the anxiety producing chemicals that your body is creating. If you suffer from anxiety and think that your gut might be contributing more to your anxiety than you would like, then this book could help you put that right, and even if your gut is not the sole cause of your anxiety, this book will show you how to stop your body adding to the pain that your anxiety is already causing. In this book you will find: 1. The different ways that your own body can keep your mind in an anxious state 2. How you can be kinder to your gut and ease the anxiety it causes by adding and avoiding certain foods and drinks in your general day-to-day diet 3. A simple 3-step system for rehabilitating your gut and setting it back into its natural state, which will help put your whole body, your immune system, and of course your mind, back the way it should be, and switch off the excessive fight or flight chemicals and your over-active anxiety.
