The Gut Matrix

Fibre, Microbes, and Metabolic Mastery

€11.90

Health isn’t static. While it may be described by analysis, it’s not defined by isolated blood markers or quick fixes. It’s a living process,

shaped moment by moment by our daily choices, our inner biology, and our connection to the environments we inhabit.

The Gut Matrix maps one of the most powerful intersections of that process: how fibre, microbiota, and tryptophan metabolism

orchestrate resilience across systems, from gut to brain, immunity to longevity. What begins as dietary fibre becomes a chemical conversation

between microbes and cells, shaping everything from mood to inflammation, cognition to cancer resistance.

Beyond the science of this book lies something more enduring: the idea that health is a partnership. One between you and your microbiome. You and your fork. You and your future.
