All of today’s most-diagnosed ailments can be traced back to an injured and irritated gut. The gut is an intricate and powerful system, naturally designed to protect and heal the body every moment of every day. And yet for far too many of us, this remarkable system is in disrepair, a condition often called leaky gut, which leads to all kinds of health problems―from extra pounds, aches and pains, allergies, mood swings, and lack of libido, to heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, insomnia, and depression. But we no longer have to be sick to get healthy. In this groundbreaking program, Alejandro Junger, M.D. explains how instead of treating the symptoms as they arise, we can preemptively attack disease before it takes root in the gut. No matter your current state of health, you will benefit from this program: Clean Gut will provide the tools for total gut repair, helping you put an end to everyday ailments, reverse chronic disease, and achieve true, long-lasting health. Based on the four pillars of functional medicine, this breakthrough program shows you how to eliminate the root cause of disease: The Root Cause of Disease: Understand why an injured and irritated gut is the source of today’s most common ailments, from aches and pains to chronic illness. The 21-Day Clean Gut Program: Follow a clear, step-by-step elimination diet designed to remove obstacles, replace vital nutrients, and restore your digestive health. Identify Your Toxic Triggers: Use the 7-day reintroduction process to discover the specific foods like gluten and dairy that cause inflammation and irritation for you. Heal Autoimmune Disorders: Learn how calming the immune system by healing the gut can reverse the symptoms of conditions like allergies, thyroid issues, and even lupus. Restore Intestinal Flora: Reinoculate your system with the beneficial bacteria essential for proper digestion, detoxification, and achieving long-lasting health. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 006207587X | | Dimensions | 0.7 x 5.2 x 7.8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Isbn 10 | 9780062075871 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0062075871 | | Item Weight | 14.7 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 256 pages | | Publication Date | December 30, 2014 | | Publisher | HarperOne | ## Images ![Clean Gut: The Breakthrough Plan for Eliminating the Root Cause of Disease and Revolutionizing Your Health - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6194JDYqCNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HOME RUN!!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 21, 2013* CLEAN floored me and as soon as I finished the book a few years ago, I went on Dr Jungers cleanse. I was impressed by the breadth of clear explanation and understandable, logical science. Plus it worked. Even moi, the partial skeptic (after 40 years of carrot juice and raw beets), I felt like an improved me. The things he said about glowy skin and sparkly eyes were- surprisingly-true.I kept looking in the mirror.I was hooked and followed Dr Junger and his CLEAN TEAM online. I continued the cleanse a few times a year; and always with great support.I didn't think it could get any better but then...Voila... CLEAN GUT upped the game.I found it revalatory and read it cover to cover.How wise and clever of Dr Junger to pinpoint the gut as the point of no return for wellness and illness. How clearly-elegantly even- he states his agrument.It was intriguing to learn how our gut effects every cell in our bodies; either directly or indirectly. How it even has a mind of its own and is continually relaying electromagnetic signals all around the body. Amazing! And of course CLEAN GUT will an eye opener for so many readers as they discover that a diet of pills for a variety of symtoms, might not do the trick. That, for example, a skin rash, might be pointing to a gut disfunction, inflamation, and serious cellular imbalance. And that to achieve good health-one must take health by the scruf of the neck -in this case the gut- and give it a good shake out. Literally a clean up from the inside out.He outlines the 4 parts of the gut and cogently describes the functionality of each. But the trick to his writing, which one has to admire, is that all is written for the lay person to understand; yet with enough compelling scientific detail to satisfy any sceptic.Interestingly, in a recent article in the NY TIMES, Michael Pollan, discusses the remarkable discoveries about the garden of flora populating our gut and how these 3 trillion microbes largely determine our health. It's in the air and as usual Dr Jungar is ahead of the tide.His book describes in detail just how we get sick and follows with what we must do to get well. There is even a recipe section at the back as there is with CLEAN. (Interestingly, of all the organic, vegan, meatless recipe books I own, I always come back to the recipes and principles in CLEAN-and now CLEAN GUT. It changed not just how I ate, but how I think about food).I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Alejandro Junger, for shaking up my thinking about how we can construct-from the ground floor- our own good health and the health of our family and loved ones.Green Granny ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Information Available After Reading Many Books On The Subject *by on Reviewed in the United States October 16, 2013* Excellent Read! There are many books in the market with information on digestive issues, but in my opinion, this author offers the most concise, safe and effective way to get your gut back up and running. Dr. Junger had my system working again in a matter of days. I find it especially helpful that he includes a diet plan that is specifically geared toward easily digestible foods that are low on the glycemic index and anti inflammatory all at the same time. I'd lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks while eating what he suggests and avoiding what he finds not beneficial. I was constipated for many years so my journey to full health is not over, but I am eliminating like never before and am fairly confident this book has the answers that many other books I've read do not. I am not an overly impressionable person, but the information in this book has been in the back of my mind with every meal I eat. The other books just didn't work whereas Dr. Junger's plan produces fast and lasting results.Thanks Dr. Junger for saving my life. I was so sick I had toxemia. I had been chasing a cure for nearly two years. I am back to my old self now and feel better than I have in a very long time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Functional medicine, a revolution in thinking about health *by on Reviewed in the United States September 3, 2014* I just completed reading two books that turned my thinking about health and medical issues on its head. The two books are Alejandro Junger's "Clean Gut" and Susan Blum's "The Immune System Recovery Program." Because the two books complement each other, I will review them together and post the same review for both books.Both books present very similar arguments and plans for health improvement, but have different presentations. I found reading the two of them in conjunction with each other helpful.Junger's "Clean Gut" is stronger on summarizing the argument made by both books. He compares modern medicine, with its specialists, focus on the use of drugs, and symptom reduction focus to trying to fix a dying tree by painting its leaves green, when instead, one should be feeding the roots of the tree. In his words (p. 27), "(T)he gut is the root of health, and gut repair is the mother of preventative medicine." His book provides somewhat more elaboration than Blum's does on the mechanics by which gut dysfunction can translate into disorders such as asthma or skin rashes.Blum's "Immune System Recovery Program," however, I thought was more useful for implementation of a recovery program. While Junger's book is targeted at anyone, whether ill or not, Blum's book is targeted at those with autoimmune disorders. The first chapter summarizes the triggers of these diseases: our poor modern diet, chronic stress (and associated adrenal fatigue), gut issues, and liver overload because of our high load of environmental toxins. Accordingly, Blum presents her program in four parts: Fixing your Diet, Reducing Stress, Healing your Gut, and Reducing Toxic Load (Liver support). Each of the four parts is presented in three chapters: one that explains the issues and how problems develop, one that has a series of self-assessments and a three tier recovery program (the three tiers being food, supplements and other things one can do on one's own, and medical support). She suggests focusing on trying to resolve issues with dietary changes as the primary method, then adding supplements and other self-care regimines (e.g., meditation, exercise) as warranted by the severity of the issue, and proceeding to medical support if self-help does not improve things. I like the self-assessments and the systematic nature of her program.In contrast, Junger's program is more of a one-size-fits all approach (to start, anyway) focused on gut repair, with one month-long program divided into two phases: a three week diet change where one removes common allergens, takes a variety of gut-cleansing and gut-supporting supplements, adds meditation and exercise, reduces toxic exposures, and then in week four, adds back the two most-often missed allergens, gluten and dairy, one at a time, and then removing them again if one sees a change in bodily reactions.In other words, what Susan Blum might have you do over a period of 3 months, Alejandro Junger condenses to one intense month. Some might prefer Junger's approach, but that means, for example, taking several supplements to reduce "gut dysbiosis" regardless of the existence or severity of symptoms. He believes everyone will benefit, while Blum's approach focuses on doing the gut dysbiosis reduction program only if one scores high on related symptoms. So there is a difference in treatment philosophy here, but the overall programs are remarkably similar.One quibble I have with Blum's book is her ordering of the chapters. Her discussion of immunity, like Junger's, puts gut issues at the center, so I thought that the chapter on healing the gut should have come earlier in the book. Placed in Part 3, the centrality of the gut to immunity kind of gets lost.However, Blum deals more with problems caused by low stomach acid--heartburn and even asthma (see also Jonathan Wright and Lane Lenard's "Why Stomach Acid is Good for You" and Jamie Koufman's "The Chronic Cough Enigma"), which could be helpful to those for whom those are issues would in particular benefit more from Blum's gook.Both books provide illustrative case studies, recommendations for specific supplements (sold on their associated websites), and a series of recipes.I vastly preferred the recipes in Blum's book. I am a vegan, and there was just too much meat in Junger's selection of recipes. In addition, the recipes had very long lists of ingredients and seemed more complex to prepare. Blum's book has some recipes featuring chicken and fish, but the majority of the recipes are vegan, with shorter ingredient lists and less complicated directions than those in Junger's book.Blum also provides for free on her web site a series of guided programs for each of the four steps. I've signed up for all four, but since they haven't started yet, I can't say anything about them, other than that, while the program is free, each suggests that you buy an associated "started package" for that step, which ranges in price from about $80 to almost $400. But buying the starter packages is not required to participate, and you can find many of the supplements cheaper online than by buying them from her.In sum, I thought both books were useful--Junger's for the cogency of the argument (and the greater power and detail of his personal story) and Blum's for her self-assessments, systematic approach, and attention to detail. If I had to buy only one, I would buy Blum's. If I could afford them both, I would read Junger's first and then follow up with Blum's.As for how this all works? We'll see. I currently am suffering from asthma, low iron stores, and an elevation of thyroid antibodies. I've bought some of the suggested supplements, have put myself on a gluten-free diet (I was dairy-free already, being vegan), and will see I am feeling and how my blood test results are in December, by which time I expect to have gone through all four steps of the program.I'll try to remember to update in December (on the Blum review only, since it is the details of her program that I will be following). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/10438873-clean-gut-the-breakthrough-plan-for-eliminating-the-root-cause](https://www.desertcart.no/products/10438873-clean-gut-the-breakthrough-plan-for-eliminating-the-root-cause) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
