Synopsis

In My Gut Tells Me personal experiences and anecdotes play an important part without abandoning scientific rigor. — Professor Michel Lejoyeux, Head of the Department of Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine, Bichat Hospital, Paris

For readers of Giulia Enders’ global bestseller Gut. The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ

How can you feel calm, cool and collected when your digestive system is ruining your life? When certain foods make your stomachache, make you feel tired, or put you in a permanent bad mood? Or even overwhelm you with dark thoughts and lead to depressive episodes? Like so many of us, Margot Montpezat has many friends and family members who have been affected by depression: her mother, aunt, and several friends and colleagues have suffered from depressive episodes or even committed suicide. So she decided to try to understand what was wrong, why neither shrinks nor anti-depressants were working for them.

And her whole way of seeing the world changed!

This book is a practical and uninhibited chronicle of the in-depth investigative research and reporting she did. With the help of top specialists in the field, she helps us to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of food intolerances , and to get back on the path to a healthier, happier life.
