Endorsements for Digestive Wellness 4th Edition

“As long as there has been written history, the greatest Healers of every generation have said in their own words “food is medicine” and “look to the Digestive System as an aid in healing most disease”
More and more Doctors are searching for a better type of health care they can deliver. The skill-set to address an acute crisis (accidents, toxin exposures, etc), is incomplete in addressing chronic disease (cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease,…).

Digestive Wellness’ is destined to be the ‘Go-To Guide’ for Doctors, Nurses, and the general public hungry for the step-by-steps to heal and not just reduce symptoms. Every person with a health concern (of any type) should read this book. Your body will thank you many times over.”

“Death begins in the colon” is a phrase that has been around for decades and, therefore, familiar to many, if not most, who have any interest and/or familiarity with alternative medicine. However, beyond the obvious interpretation that relates poor digestive function to mortality, what does this phrase really mean? What, specifically, is it about gut function that, when it is not occurring at an optimal level, seems to hasten our demise? Many have attempted to answer this question over the years but most, in my experience, tended to focus on only one or two aspects, at the most, of the many factors that contribute to the important link between gut and overall body health. It’s an issue of gut microflora!! No, it’s an issue of fiber! No, it’s an issue of digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid!! No, it’s…well I think you get the point. In fact, as so eloquently demonstrated by Dr. Liz Lipski in all her editions of Digestive Wellness, it is all of them and more. We are indeed fortunate that information on all the intricacies of gut function that we used to only find in high-priced, highly technical professional textbooks that are hidden away in the nation’s medical libraries has long been found in a professional, well documented, yet easy to read and understand format in all the previous editions of Digestive Wellness. Now, in the most current 4th edition, we find all of the excellent information contained in previous editions along with an up-to-date presentation of the ever growing body of research on gut function and its overall impact on health. For anyone who has an interest in truly understanding how the gut works or is just interested in finding ways to optimize quality of life during the aging process, Digestive Wellness, 4th Edition is a must read.

I consider Liz Lipski to be a friend, colleague, teacher, and mentor. In this update of the classic ‘Digestive Welllness’, Dr. Lipski takes us on a journey through the gut toward healing and wellness. This is a journey that begins with our connection to food and drink. We manifest this connection through the principal interface with the bounty on our planet, our gut. Dr. Lipski offers a practical tool kit to support each of us, clinicians and patients, to return to wellness by bringing our gastrointestinal system back into balance and harmony. The reader is blessed with the simple wisdom that Dr. Lipski brings through years of teaching and clinical experience. I have become more whole through my interactions with Dr. Lipski and her teachings. I believe that you will deeply benefit from joining Dr. Lipski on this journey toward Digestive Wellness.

Liz Lipski has done a magnificent job in making the complex topic of digestive disturbances and how they relate to health easily understandable. From the description of the workings of the digestive system, the interrelationships of this system with other vital body systems, to a more broad based model of Functional Medicine  - she weaves a story describing how the complex web of physiological imbalances affect health. With questionnaires, tables, illustrations and graphs, the reader is given a very clear understanding of the issues that affect healthy function. The greatest value of the book is the simple and effective remedies to correct physiology and restore health rather suppressing the symptoms.
