Description

A Holistic View of Your Second Brain.

Resolve all your digestive problems from irritable bowel syndrome to constipation.

Digestive Intelligence explores the link between “the brain in our skull and its brother down there in our gut” – the connection between emotions and digestion, the way our digestive system influences our mood and character: we think and live our emotions via our stomach.

With approximately one hundred million neurons in the digestive track producing serotonin, the hormone of happiness and wellbeing, it makes sense that, when our digestive system is out of sorts, we too feel irritable and lacking in energy, and vice versa. Matveikova aims to assist readers in gaining a better understanding of the intelligence of the gut and solve their digestive issues.

With practical explanations and advice on how to resolve common digestive disorders such as chronic constipation, heartburn, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), GERD (acid reflux) and peptic ulcers, discover new information about the digestive system and learn about a number of holistic approaches for resolving these common conditions. Matveikova, a traditionally trained medical doctor, embraces much of the wisdom found in contemporary forms of medicine and combines medical science with psychology and natural health approaches.
