Читать книгу Trust Your Gut - Gregory Plotnikoff - Страница 9

This book introduces two powerful new approaches to reducing chronic gut distress: Neurohormonal Retraining and Ecological Rebalancing. These techniques calm the hypersensitivity of the digestive tract and the nervous system, a key factor that prolongs gut distress into a chronic ailment. Pills may temporarily block the symptoms, but they mask hypersensitivity instead of addressing it. Ecological Rebalancing restores the body's natural harmony by subduing external causes of stress and their internal consequences. Neurohormonal Retraining uses your power of concentration to short-circuit the hypersensitive feedback loop between the digestive system and the nervous system, which reduces both pain and gut dysfunction.

These techniques are effective because they are based on the holistic understanding that everything is connected and your gut goes haywire when these connections are imbalanced. These two approaches are the foundation of our systematic approach to gut distress that we call the CORE program.

The main components of our program are summed up in our acronym: CORE.

The CORE self-help program provides a new set of tools beyond the pharmaceutical shelves, beyond tests and conventional wisdom—tools under your control. True primary care is not what a physician does for you but rather what you do for yourself, and this book will enable you to do that. CORE will teach you new ways to deal with your gut and to break the vicious cycle of symptoms, fear, and pain.
