An inspiring account of the enormous power that diet has to change the trajectory of our health. Heather takes you on her journey to better health and shares her insightful strategies along the way.

Many self-help books provide a simple, one-step approach to solving complex health problems. While easy to follow, these approaches tend not to work because they focus narrowly on only one aspect of the problem. Heather Wise offers a broad but in-depth, evidence-based look at the ways sugar and other foods play out in our gut flora and provides a comprehensive but feasible approach to tackling these issues. Nutrition, diet, mindset, eating habits, and stress control are all part of a holistic strategy that is necessary to successfully tackle the problem of imbalanced gut flora and Wise shows how this can be done in a seamless way.
Heather Mumford
One of Heather's great talents is that she can translate the latest research on health and nutrition to practical, real world advice that is easy to digest (literally and figuratively!). It is evident not only in the pages of this book, but also in the healthy lifestyle choices she and her family have cultivated together. Readers will better understand how their food cravings mirror the conditions of their gut, and will confidently walk away with the tools they need for making a daily commitment to healthier choices and a better life.
