About the Book

Good For Your Gut Cookbook is an evidence-based + practical approach to digestive health with over 90 delicious plant-based recipes you can feel good about eating. An instant national bestseller!!

More of us are experiencing digestive health concerns such as constipation, reflux and irritable bowel syndrome than ever before. But gut health matters even for those without a digestive diagnosis: a well-functioning gut means a healthier body. Our digestive tract lies at the intersection of immune + nervous system health as well as digestion.

Registered dietitian Desiree Nielsen explains the gut health and mind-body connection and guides you toward a deeper understanding of what it means to be healthy, with strategies to heal your gut when it’s imbalanced.

In Good for Your Gut, you’ll discover how to fuel gut health with whole plant foods and practical lifestyle strategies—from movement to managing stress—for a truly holistic and evidence-based approach to health and wellness. Featuring over 90 beautifully illustrated plant-based recipes created to protect, heal, or soothe your gut, with meal plans for each core area of digestive health.

All the recipes are packed with flavour and delicious to eat, even if you don’t have tummy troubles, and are ideal for a healthy plant-forward lifestyle.
