Let's Talk Sh!t

“I’m a GI doc (and admitted colleague of Drs. Hazan and Borody), but also a curmudgeon and general pop-medicine cynic, particularly in the microbiome space. So I’m primed to be skeptical, but they really nailed it here. For one, it’s super readable and funny, which I wasn’t expecting. Furthermore, it’s reasonable in its science and advice; no irrational promises, just the facts. Well done, team!” —Neil Stollman, MD, AGAF, FACP, FACG, leading gastroenterologist

“Dr. Hazan, et al, have made the part of our bodies that we least like to talk about into a critical and essential part of our being that impacts much if not all of one’s health. Readers will certainly have a new realization about the impact of sh*t on our lives.” —Howard Young, PhD, scientist emeritus, National Cancer Institute

"Dr. Hazan and her colleagues have taken on a complex subject with scientific rigor that has largely eluded other investigators. This approach promises to deliver a better way of establishing gut health which is so vital for the developing and aging brain." —Sheldon Jordan, FAAN, MD, leading neurologist, chief investigator, The Regenesis Project

“This pioneering work on the role of gut microbes in intestinal and systemic pathology has inspired many clinicians and researchers, including myself, to view the gastrointestinal tract as the origin of a wide variety of human diseases, ranging from autoimmunity to neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric disorders.”—Adonis Sfera, MD, chief of professional education, California Department of State Hospitals at Patton; assistant clinical professor, University of California Riverside and Loma Linda University
