Dirt Is Not the Enemy.

In recent decades, modern 'improvements' to our lifestyle and food supply have come with a cost: our health. From an overreliance on antibiotics to a preoccupation with sanitizing everything in sight, our desire to be clean is actually putting us at risk for a host of chronic illnesses. Starved of actual nutrition, fed toxic levels of processed foods, and overtaxed by chemicals and stress, we've developed microscopic tears in our intestinal walls, leading to the widespread inflammation and weakened immunity that characterize a condition known as 'leaky gut syndrome'.

70 per cent of our immune system is located in the gut - when it's under attack, our health suffers. In Eat Dirt, Dr. Josh Axe explains the hidden causes and widespread effects of this little-understood syndrome, which is thought to cause of a litany of ailments including allergies, asthma, food sensitivities, diabetes and even frustratingly difficult-to-treat conditions such as chronic fatigue and autism.

Dr. Axe reveals that the solution, while counterintuitive, is almost effortless: we just need to welcome a little more 'dirt' back into our lives. From ditching hand sanitizers, using essential oils for personal products, reducing antibiotic use, and consuming local honey to spending more time outside, eating seasonally, managing stress, and incorporating probiotic-rich foods into our diets, Dr. Axe provides specific guidance to help everyone get a little 'dirty'.
