Dr. Mayer's E-Books
Simple Guides to the Brain-Gut Connection
This evolving series of E-Books is designed to explore specific topics within the brain–gut connection in a more focused and accessible way.
In my longer books and courses, many ideas are introduced that deserve deeper attention than a single chapter or lecture can provide. These shorter digital publications allow me to examine individual concepts in greater detail, while keeping the format concise and approachable.
Each E-Book is grounded in current scientific research and clinical insight, but written with practicality in mind. The goal is not to overwhelm with detail, but to provide context, helping you understand why certain processes matter and how they may relate to your own experience.
These E-Books can be read on their own or alongside my books and courses. They are intended for readers who want to explore a specific question, revisit an important concept, or build their understanding gradually, at their own pace.
Taken together, they offer a flexible way to engage more deeply with the science behind the brain–gut microbiome system.
