Help Yourself: A Guide to Gut Health for People Who Love Delicious Food
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
This game-changing cookbook will make you rethink how you eat.
It turns out that gut health is the root of all health: A happy equilibrium in the body's unique community of microbes promotes good health throughout the body, including a stronger immune system, better sleep, and lower stress.
Despite eating healthfully, author and recipe developer Lindsay Maitland Hunt was plagued by symptoms such as depression, fatigue, incessant itching, and joint pain—until a gut-friendly way of eating helped bring her back to a state of balance. In fact, she felt better than ever before. Out of Lindsay's journey from sickness to health, and her extensive research, comes this practical and nourishing guide, with irresistibly delicious recipes that make you feel good too.
Dishes emphasize plant-based ingredients like vegetables, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, and whole grains, along with eggs, fish, and some meat and dairy, if you like. Lindsay also walks you through integrating fermented foods into your daily life and reducing added sugar and processed foods. It's an approach you can tailor to your own lifestyle, whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just love to eat! Recipes cover any time you eat, from quick weeknight dinners to party-worthy treats, including:
Beyond the recipes, Lindsay explains what you need to know about your gut microbiota and offers smart strategies and solutions to help you navigate real life, like a new food pyramid for gut health and tips for tracking (and rewarding) healthy-living habits.
Help Yourself isn't a fad diet, a detox, or a cleanse. It's a common-sense approach to food, backed by science. If you've been living with symptoms such as allergies, chronic pain, inflammation, bloating or weight gain, exhaustion or poor sleep, acne, irritability, if you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease—or if you just want to feel your best in your body—this book offers a pathway to wellness via the gut.

Starred review from February 3, 2020
Recipe developer and writer Lindsay Maitland (Healthyish), who long struggled with digestive issues, takes a deep dive into digestive wellness and shares 125 gut-healthy recipes in this sensible approach to healthy eating. Stating that her book is not a weight loss guide or prescribed diet, Hunt expertly illustrates that diners are able to maintain good health by eating more plant-based foods (such as vegetables, nuts, beans, and legumes) in order to maintain a healthy balance of gut microorganisms. Tempting recipes include caramelized baked apples with yogurt and granola; swordfish with a simple grilled pineapple salsa; coconut chicken and rice stew; and a must-try potato salad with chive-bacon vinaigrette and sauerkraut. Hunt’s recipes use easy-to-source ingredients, and her directions are clear, ensuring confidence as well as success. While nutritional information isn’t provided, readers will appreciate the icons used to identify recipes that are quick, vegetarian, and “good for sensitive guts,” as well as suggestions for complementary dishes to round out a meal (e.g. smoky roasted fennel can be served with lamb meatballs or baked white fish). This is a lightning bolt of lucidity in a crowded and jargon-laden field of often impractical and unsustainable dietary approaches.

Starred review from April 1, 2020
Following up her best-selling cookbook Healthyish, recipe developer Hunt offers an original collection of recipes that don't necessarily fit labels, such as vegetarian or vegan. Rather, they are, in her words, "plant-focused," allowing for mindfully incorporating dairy and meat products. Beginning with an overview of her own health issues, and efforts to create meals allowing for good digestion, Hunt continues with an array of innovative, thoughtful dishes. Soups are standouts here, including spiced carrot soup with coconut cream as well as lemony chicken and quinoa soup, but there are stars in other areas, such as a parsley, kale, and pumpkin seed pesto that can accompany other dishes throughout the book. In a relatable voice, she explains how to embrace meal prep, reminding readers to eat what feels best for them. VERDICT This is not a weight-loss cookbook, and Hunt doesn't intend it to be. Instead, she considers it a starting point for anyone living with chronic illness or autoimmune disease to get ideas and inspiration. A worthy follow-up to Healthyish that can more than stand on its own.--Stephanie Sendaula, Library Journal

Longtime editor, recipe developer, and author Hunt (Healthyish, 2018) jumps on the latest scientific findings and fashions a diet intended to produce healthier guts and, thus, healthier bodies. In a very accessible way, Hunt cites the growing evidence that points to good gut microbes leading to fewer aches and pains, lessened inflammation, and a healing (and overall healthy) self. The book's second half is devoted to 100-plus recipes that emphasize whole foods and high-quality ingredients, majorly reduced sugar, plenty of water and, of course, plants. The tenor of her recipes falls between a holistic earth goddess bent and time-mindful practicality (veering more toward the latter). Think caramelized baked applies, spiced pumpkin shakes, spiced carrot soup, roasted eggplant and chickpeas with slow roasted chicken, all with tips, icons for quick cooking, occasional photographic how-tos, and more. Hunt's sincerity and belief in the benefits of e-gut-ilibrium is 150 percent contagious.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
