I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Instead of posting about new variations of recipes for Thanksgiving dinner, I find it more meaningful to contribute a little story about a different kind of enjoyment over this wonderful Holiday. I was recently approached by Kelsey Sergison, MS, RD, a registered dietitian from the Laguna Hills Veterans Administration clinic in Laguna Hills, CA about my interest in donating copies of my books The Mind Gut Connection and the Gut Immune Connection books to add to gift baskets for the veterans for their annual Veterans Day celebration.  Upon receiving the books, Kelsey told me that the recipients of the gifts were so thankful and greatly appreciative of the donation. Little acts of gratitude and compassion always provide more happiness than immediate gratification of a delicious meal!  #emeranmayer #mindgutconnection #gratitude #givethanks #veteransday

We’ve dramatically altered this planetary network over the past seventy-five years, and are now paying the astronomical price tag, in particular in the form of our current disease care system. To learn more, read my book The Gut Immune Connection (link in stories and bio!) #emeranmayer #mindgutconnection #gutimmuneconnection #microbiomehealth

The Crucial Role of Diet and the Gut Microbiome in
The Crucial Role of Diet and the Gut Microbiome in Colorectal Cancer Risk The Mind Gut Connection Newsletter went out yesterday - are you on the list? In this edition, I discussed emerging evidence of associations between colorectal cancer (CRC) prevalence, and the composition and function of the gut microbiota, suggesting a role of the gut microbiome in colorectal carcinogenesis. As with many chronic diseases, it is the interaction between genetic and environmental factors that determines the risk for CRC development and outcome. Environmental risk factors include western dietary habits, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and heavy alcohol consumption, with the gut microbiome playing an important role of mediating between environmental factors, in particular our diet and the development (“carcinogenesis”), formation and progression of CRC. Make sure to sign up for the newsletter if you have not already (link in bio!) and read the full article on my website. #emeranmayer #mindgutconnection #colorectalcancer #microbiomehealth
