The Psychobiotic Revolution: The New Science of Psychobiotics and How Your Microbiome Shapes Your Mood"This cutting-edge book reveals how a healthy gut can drive psychological well-being, improve your mood, and combat common diseases including depression, anxiety, obesity, heart disease--even autism and Alzheimer's--all by nurturing your microbiome.

Cryan and Ted Dinan, together with veteran journalist Scott C.
