Читать книгу Trust Your Gut - Gregory Plotnikoff - Страница 6

We created this book to empower you to take control of your health.

If you or someone you love is plagued by chronic digestive distress, you know what its's like to be held captive by your gut. You feel increasingly frustrated and don't know what to do next. You've probably seen several competent physicians who have devoted their best efforts to thoroughly diagnose and treat your condition. You may have tried many different medications to treat the symptoms, only to find that they brought temporary relief at best. You have lived in fear of your unpredictable “problem” that forces you to find excuses for canceling events. We wrote this book to let you know there is a way out of this cycle of suffering. We have combined ancient wisdom about the body and mind with the newest findings in medicine, psychology, and neuroscience to create a holistic program that lets you take back your life. All you need to add to the equation is you.
