Gut Feelings
Healing the Shame-Fueled Relationship Between What You Eat and How You Feel
The definitive guide to understanding the connection between what you eat and how you feel, offering a 21-day plan to reset your relationship with your body and heal the gut inflammation caused by stress, shame, and trauma—from the New York Times bestselling author of Intuitive Fasting and Ketotarian.
It's easy to suffer from frustration and confusion when it comes to nutrition and health. With so much focus on what, when, and how to eat, the emotional component of eating tends to get left behind. Dr. Will Cole sheds light on the relationship between your physical and emotional health, providing a framework for you to better understand the gut-brain connection and influence that connection for the better. He illustrates how stress and shame can cause gut inflammation and sabotage your health in a process called Shameflammation. On the other end, problems with the gut can often present themselves in the form of mood swings, anxiety, and food cravings. True health isn’t just about what you eat, but how you feel.
Shameflammation can be the reason for chronic health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, leaky gut, IBS, and other GI disorders. Thankfully, it’s possible to heal the connection between the physical and mental with good food and somatic practices that support a healthy gut and brain. Dr. Cole offers holistic tools to help you reevaluate your relationship with food and your body, getting you back in touch with your gut feelings. His 21-Day Gut Feeling plan helps you bridge the gap between your emotions and your health, including:
• More than fifty healing recipes, such as Breakfast Fried Rice, Scallop Noodle Bowls, and Honey Grapefruit Sorbet
• Dietary prescriptions founded upon flexibility and awareness
• Mindfulness techniques to strengthen your intuition and discover your priorities
Gut Feelings approaches nutrition and wellness from a place of self-love and will help you eliminate stubborn health conditions, on your own terms.

Cole has been at the forefront of buzzy wellness trends, including keto (or his version, "ketotarian" eating) and intermittent fasting, along with other gut-focused approaches to health. As with his 2018 title Ketotarian, Cole enjoys wordplay with this one and coins the term "shameflammation," which feels like a sneaky way for diet culture to metamorphosize. Instead of talking about weight loss or body shame, Cole implies that there is a synergistic relationship between shame or trauma and gut health. That's true, but a cleanse or diet designed to flatten stomachs and erase trauma seems like a too simple solution to individualized and societal problems. It's ultimately more about body optimization or physical appearance than real healing. VERDICT Like many fitness and diet influencers, Cole uses phrases such as "you can't heal a body you hate" in ways that feel reductive and rewords standard practices, such as food elimination or a 21-day food plan, that are already endemic in the diet industry.--Emily Bowles
