It will show you how to make positive diet and lifestyle changes that will help to nourish and support your digestive system. The inspiration for this book stems from my own personal journey and the hundreds of emails I receive from people on their personal quest for better digestive health.

Perfect Digestive Health includes a 14 day eating plan Healing recipes to support digestion The best foods to eat and what to avoid The best supplements and lifestyle factors and much more…. I believe that food is most healing when it is close to it's original state and has the properties to heal and nourish.

“The most thorough guide to intestinal wellness I’ve seen to date . . . to reverse leaky gut, chronic infections, candida and chronic inflammation” (Alan Christianson, NMD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Metabolism Reset Diet). The Holistic Gut Prescription is designed to be a simple guide to healing the gut, based on the following premise: If people give the body what it needs to heal itself and remove the obstacles to its cure, then within reason, healing will follow. “Nature Cure” is not easy to employ, but it is usually easy to understand. There are only so many building blocks, and there are only so many possible obstacles to cure. The physician’s job is not to “make someone well,” but rather to facilitate the process of healing. In this guide, Dr. Lauren helps readers recognize which obstacles to a healthy gut they face, how to remove them, and how to supply the specific building blocks they lack so they can create their own personal path to optimal digestive wellness. “Dr. Lauren Deville drives this one HOME! This is one of the most comprehensive books on one of the most important subjects in our modern day, ‘gut health’ . . . Dr. Deville does an amazing job at helping you understand what the barriers to good gut health, therefore overall health, are and most importantly, what you can do about it to live your best life. This book covers everything you need to know to truly be empowered and help yourself heal. 5 stars from me! Bravo, excellent and timely work!” —Dr. Holly Lucille, ND, RN

This groundbreaking book unleashes a brilliant new plan for permanently curing heartburn by relieving the root cause of the problem: low stomach acid. The fact is that heartburn is caused by too little stomach acid -- not too much, as many doctors profess. As explained in this book, the current practice of reducing stomach acid may be a temporary fix, but this fix comes at a cost to our long-term health that is being ignored by the pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, and the thousands of physicians that prescribe anti-acid drugs like Prilosec, Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid, and others.
