Book Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author of The Maker's Diet and one of America's most respected natural health experts, Jordan Rubin delivers a message of health and hope to anyone suffering from digestive diseases in Restoring Your Digestive Health. In this newly reissued edition, Jordan Rubin shares his personal story of recovery from nearly fatal Crohn's Disease and how it led him to develop this revolutionary wellness program based on a more historically and biologically correct diet, including the use of fermented foods and homeostatic soil organisms.

Conquer Crohn's, Colitis, and Digestive Diseases

Long before Jordan Rubin became one of America's most respected natural health experts, Crohn's disease nearly ended his life. A once-healthy teenager, Jordan suffered the debilitating effects of the painful and potentially fatal wasting intestinal illness. In desperation, he consulted more than seventy medical experts in seven countries, and tried hundreds of nutritional supplements, with no improvement. Finally, Jordan researched and developed a revolutionary wellness program based on a more health-promoting diet, including the use of fermented foods, bone broths, and soil-based organisms (SBOs), an often-overlooked but critical component of our ancestors' primitive diet.

Within months, Jordan's health improved. Years later, he remains free of disease or medications. He calls his regimen the Guts and Glory Program, but if you suffer from Crohn's or any of a host of other digestive or systemic disorders, you'll call it amazing. This program helps heal:

*Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis

Irritable bowel syndrome

Gluten or lactose intolerance

Candida (yeast) infections

Food allergies

Recurring or persistent nausea

Chronic constipation

Urinary tract infections

And many more serious aliments

You'll also learn:

Why fermented foods and HSOs are vital to good health--and why they're missing from today's diets

How a "primitive" lifestyle offers very modern health benefits

How to find and prepare delicious meals the primitive way

What dietary supplements can help--and which to avoid

Jordan continues to share his message of hope and healing through his books, videos, and nutritional products. In Restoring Your Digestive Health, you'll learn to do just that, and live a pain-free, nourishing life.
