The Fibre Factor by Joanna McMillan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Both read the physical copy and listened to the audiobook
If you are interested in living and eating to live your best life, this book isn't just an informative read about getting a healthy gut,but improving overall well-being.
The way the information is delivered in this book is both scientific, educational, engaging and practical. There is no point reading a health book if its not able to be implemented into busy lives and this book delivers.
I highly recommend this book for anyone with inflammatory illnesses, gut illness, fatigue, weight issues and for those wanting to improve wellbeing and be educated about food choices.
