The Abdominal Brain: Unlocking the Secrets of Gut-Brain Axis and Immunity

Written by Nathalie Camirand, this book delves into the fascinating world of the abdominal microbiome and its profound impact on overall health. While there has been a growing interest in gut-brain axis and microbiome research, a comprehensive synthesis of the data in relation to osteopathic concepts was lacking – until now.

This book is the culmination of an exhaustive literature review, punctuated by osteopathic interests. The author presents a broad and specific understanding of the abdominal brain and immune system in relation to the brain-gut-pelvis (BGP) axis. Building on her previous work, “Axe cerveau-intestin-pelvis et ostéopathie. Cerveau encéphalique,” Camirand applies an integrative approach to address digestive dysfunctions, inflammatory and immune disorders, and mood disturbances.

A Comprehensive Guide to the Gut-Brain Axis

The book begins by introducing the author’s concepts and methodology, followed by an in-depth exploration of the gastrointestinal tract as the abdominal brain. Camirand meticulously describes its structure, constitution, nervous system, and surrounding arteries, highlighting the crucial role of the vagus nerve. The book also examines the immune system and its intricate connection to the BGP axis.

What sets this book apart is its exhaustive compilation of specific tests and techniques, covering both visceral and articular aspects, as well as nerve-related approaches. This wealth of information is presented in a clear and concise manner, making it an indispensable resource for practitioners seeking to better understand and address these complex issues.

With over 250 illustrations and backed by the author’s rich clinical experience, this book offers a groundbreaking perspective that sheds new light on the gut-brain axis and its implications for health and wellness.
