Blending hard science with disarming humour, Enders explains how digestion, gut bacteria and the enteric nervous system quietly shape mood, immunity and long-term health. This paperback edition has been expanded with new findings on the gut-brain axis, making it the definitive, up-to-date version of a book that has sold millions of copies worldwide. About the Book Giulia Enders trained in medicine and gastroenterology, and it shows in the confidence with which she tackles a topic most authors would shy away from. Gut takes readers on a tour of the digestive system from mouth to finish, covering the anatomy of swallowing, the mechanics of the stomach and intestines, and the extraordinary role played by the trillions of bacteria living inside us. Enders unpicks emerging research linking the gut microbiome to obesity, allergies, depression and even neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's, while never losing her light, conversational tone. Illustrated throughout by her sister Jill Enders, the book turns potentially dry biology into genuinely entertaining reading, complete with the much-discussed section on the best position to poo.

It remains a go-to recommendation from doctors, teachers and book clubs alike for anyone wanting a clearer, funnier understanding of their own body.
