Judy Joo, chef, author and tv personality

«This book is absolutely fascinating, thought-provoking, and provides a clear bridge between current Western fascination with our gut microbiome, and long established Chinese medical theory. From society's first, tentative steps into this subject area, through to a wider societal acknowledgement of its importance - we have all become obsessed with good 'gut health' of late - Lisa skilfully links through into Chinese medical theory, and most importantly, practical and real-life solutions. I am in awe of what she has done here, and it reminds me again that negative events often have the power to spark new and innovative thinking.»

Jen Wade, Joint Principal of the Acupuncture Academy

«This book offers an intriguing fusion of ancient medicine and developing advances into the human microbiome. As someone with a long-term interest in the microbiome; specifically in gut health, it was fascinating to overlay this area with Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. The developments in microbial research have brought a paradigm shift in our understanding of, not only the body, but also heath, disease and treatment. This book helps strengthen our knowledge of these areas, especially in relation to Oriental Medicine.»
