In Clean Gut, Alejandro Junger, M.D, New York Times bestselling author of Clean and creator of the world-famous Clean Program, delivers a complete toolkit for reversing disease and sustaining life-long health.

All of today’s most-diagnosed ailments can be traced back to an injured and irritated gut. The gut is an intricate and powerful system, naturally designed to protect and heal the body every moment of every day And yet for far too many of us, this remarkable system is in disrepair, which leads to all kinds of health problems—from extra pounds, aches and pains, allergies, mood swings, and lack of libido, to heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, insomnia, and depression.

But we no longer have to be sick to get healthy. In this groundbreaking program, Alejandro Junger, M.D. explains how instead of treating the symptoms as they arise, we can preemptively attack disease before it takes root in the gut.

No matter your current state of health, you will benefit from this program: Clean Gut will help you put an end to everyday ailments, reverse chronic disease, and achieve true, long-lasting health.

From the Back Cover

The New York Times bestselling author of Clean offers a groundbreaking program to eliminate minor and major health problems—from extra weight, chronic pain, and allergies to heart disease, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and depression.

All of today's most diagnosed ailments can be traced back to an injured and irritated gut. The gut is an intricate and powerful system naturally designed to protect and heal the body every moment of every day. And yet for far too many of us this remarkable system is in disrepair, which leads to all kinds of health problems. We are sick and getting sicker. Chronic diseases are on the rise, and everyone we know seems to be suffering from something, getting tests done and taking over-the-counter or prescription medications. But we no longer have to be sick to get healthy. Dr. Alejandro Junger explains how instead of treating the symptoms as they arise, we can preemptively attack disease before it takes root in the gut.

No matter your current state of health, you will benefit from this program. We are all walking around with damaged guts, to different degrees suffering the consequences in our day-to-day and long-term health. The Clean Gut program will put an end to these everyday ailments, reverse chronic disease, and help you achieve true, long-lasting health.

The content of the Clean Gut is great!
What I don't like about the Kindle version is a lot MISSING CONTENT.
Amazon Kindle needs to seriously review the ebook and make it right for the readers and the credibility of the author.
Example: GRAINS cluding nonglulten grains (quinoa, rice, mil-you. Pay attention to changes . . . .
The missing information goes on like this so much that I'm requesting a refund and purchasing a printed copy.

Absolutely life changing, but not for sissies!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

To give a background on my opinion, I have two degrees in Biology, and a lot of experience reading and studying about health and nutrition, because I spent a lot of time healing myself with the help of many holistic practitioners. I care about my health, but like most people, I have habits that aren't that great, plus I had lifelong health challenges that handicapped me a bit in reaching my health goals. Yet I have enjoyed learning and applying a variety of methods and programs that have been a huge help to me. My husband and I went on the Paleo lifestyle two years ago, and we had great results. But I knew I needed more help to go to the next level. When I saw this book, I knew it was the next step for us.

Dr. Junger writes compellingly about the relationship between gut health and all kinds of physical issues, but even more intriguing, he presents good evidence that strain on the gut can be a major contributor to depression and lack of intuitive guidance, because when the gut is stressed, it goes into survival mode instead of performing the nice functions that can make life happier or easier for you.

My husband and I went on the 21-day cleanse. This is likely not going to be something for sissies. If you have a bad physical issue you are really wanting to fix or you are a highly motivated person seeking to take their health to the next level, this could do it for you. But let me warn you, it is tough. You are asked to give up a bunch of foods, take a bunch of supplements and then slowly reintroduce and test each one after 21 days. The results, if you make it that far, will surprise you.

I can't guarantee results are the same for everyone. I am sure they are not. But we lost 5-7 pounds without trying, and we aren't that overweight. We were exhausted the first few days, had cravings during the first couple weeks, and made it through the 21 days finally.

Besides losing weight easily, we found our fingernails were stronger and faster growing than ever before. I discovered secondarily (after researching on Google and following and intuitive hit of my husband's) that my stomach pain was lifelong gastritis, and that avoiding the enzymes avoided pain, but embracing them on a careful plan scrubbed my stomach clean and I no longer have the stomach aches that have plagued me for my whole life of 62 years. At least, I haven't had one in a week, and that's a long time for me to go without one. Even just fixing that was worth it to me.

Plus, we came out of the program not wanting to 'bad' foods we had been ingesting. We quit drinking wine and eating potato chips. We aren't buying chocolate and candies, though we never ate a lot of them. We just aren't drawn to them anymore. I never dreamed we would find it that easy.

I think you need to be pretty motivated to complete this program, but if you do, it can change your life. We will be doing it once a year from now on, as I know it is a good thing to do regularly. If you want to improve your health, improve your digestion. This is a great way to do it.

This is a great reference book for working toward strengthening your digestive system and microbiome. Ultimately, I went to a naturopath who was able to help me fine-tune my strategy; it's very difficult to get all the answers from a book. Still, this is a great introduction and includes good strategies that can be immediately used to good effect. Highly recommended.

He makes everything so easy to understand, as well as super interesting. It is truly a really informative read! If you are planning to follow this diet and have any SIBO type issues, I personally suggest following Jeanette Hyde's The Gut Makeover first, and THEN this one for optimal results. As his diet plan has you jump right into the probiotics, which, as he states is just throwing logs into a fire. Other than that, his plan is wonderful and the included recipes are great!

For the last seven years I’ve had doctors tell me I was perfectly healthy even though they had told me just by looking at me I was run down and tired and not doing well. The doctors never look beyond the blood work so they would just send me on my way tell me I was perfectly fine and the reason I was so tired is because I was in my 40s. I did some research and realized there’s some intolerance of foods that I can no longer handle and I went and got this book and it is my food Bible. I bounced back within one week of following everything in this book and I can’t think the author enough.

Great book. I have followed this diet and had some very good things happen. I found out through a blood test that I was allergic to milk, eggs, some tree nuts, gluten and some other small items. I burned so bad on my wrists and legs from the reaction but always thought it was from my Lymes diagnosis. To my surprise and relief, the burning is low now and getting better all the time. This book gave me some great advice and explained so many things that I could understand. I am doing so much better and will continue to follow the protocol.

Common Sense Reality Check on Eating Right

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I've always tried to eat healthy - for no real reason really, other than it seemed the right thing to do. Over time I had already concluded on my own - there's no good reason not to eat healthy (really - why eat junk?) ...... But after stumbling upon CLEAN GUT - I totally now realize the technical science behind why we MUST all focus our energy and money on eating GOOD healthy unprocessed food.

The info presented is a bit technical in the beginning - but the underlying principles are simply common sense and have shifted the way I think about eating. My hope is this book continues to inspire people to focus their priorities on feeding their families /friends the BEST food possible, instead of the current and sad trend to spend money on fads and technology and superficial self-indulgences that only decrease the long-term quality of human life.

The original CLEAN is better.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

I own both the Clean, Clean Eats and this book, Clean gut.
I did the original Clean Cleanse a while ago and recently did another, shorter one, where I considered this book. There are a number of flaws with this book, which is why I would recommend the original programme to anyone interested rather than this one.
The flaws are:
- Contradictory food advice/no proper explanation on certain foods:
There is no explanation in either books, why potatoes are bad for you. Most European /other language books/advice websites on the topic recommend cold potatoes, as the starch in it changes when it cools and is very beneficial for your gut. Both books simply "forbid" you to eat potatoes. No explanation or insight into why. More troubling, Clean Gut specifically includes eggs in many recipes, while at the same time listing them as one of the most frequent toxic triggers in the section on reintroducing food. So first you eat them almost every day (or every second day) and then you are to see at the end if they cause any problems?
There is also no explanation why suddenly brown rice - something of a staple food for these cleanses - is now in the "bad" list. I also felt that the explanation why most fruit is now banned was rather far-fetched, and the notion about "go easy on Quinoa" is somewhat laughable.
The new food also seems to be more focused on loosing weight. It tells you to only eat until you are 80% full. As if we had a gauge sticking out our mouths and could actually tell! If you however cut out all the potatoes, rice and quinoa, you will be very, very hungry and you will not be getting enough calories and fibres (unless you drink lots of shakes, I guess).
- Style:
The original CLEAN was very positive to read ("you can do this!", "your body is amazing!") and full of hope. This book is much gloomier ("all the things that are wrong with us"). It almost seems in parts as if this was ghost-written by a different person, or at least parts of it. This is also strengthened by the sudden use of Dr. Junger in the third person in chapter 7, when in other parts he always addresses himself as "I". There are number of idiosyncracies in style like this, and other parts of the book are clearly recycled from the first book. The worst part is the section on scope of the programme, which basically tells you that if you don't get better, than it is your fault/something worse is going on. For people who are anxious about their health/body, I would not recommend this book on this alone.
- Overly focused on America and on selling stuff:
The book is very US-centric and some things (water, food additives) don't apply to the UK. Quite a few recipes also use ingredients that you cannot easily find in the UK, but this is a minor gripe. What is more annyoing is that the list of recommended supplements has not only grown tremendously, but they are also so specialised that the book is clearly pushing you towards buying those supplements from the CLEAN programme company (which has their own website and sells in the US only). They don't say so out loud (although they recommend it), but the implication is clear. There's also a timetable on which day you should take which supplement. I couldn't help but wonder how much financial interest was behind the publication of a "new" and "improved" "breakthrough" programme.

In summary, I think the original CLEAN got most ideas and directions right (eat less in the evening, keep 12 hours between meals, eat healthy, don't overdo it and don't overworry), so I would recommend that book over this one every day! Living healthy is a long-term task, it is not something that you can fix quickly with a 21-day programme, and I think the first book emphasised that much more with a much more positive attitude.
