Unfunc Your Gut: A Functional Medicine Guide: Boost Your Immune System, Heal Your Gut, and Unlock Your Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Health

"I am deeply grateful for the special doctors who continually pursue deeper knowledge of the body with an open mind in order to help their patients. Dr. Peter Kozlowski is one of these doctors. This great man does not stay within the confinements and walls put up by the old school way of thinking in medicine, which can hold the ones that are sick back from finding their way out of sickness by alternative means. He cares deeply about the well-being of his patients and harbors true compassion, which is the most powerful driving force to help people heal."

--Anthony William, The Medical Medium, #1 New York Times Best-Selling Author and Originator of the Global Celery Juice Movement

"Unfunc Your Gut is a brilliant book, practical and down-to-earth, personal and humorous, and filled with deep insight into health and illness. What really distinguishes Doc Koz is his ability to see your gut and its microbes as a powerful biological force impacting your body and mind and at the same time never letting you forget that your mind and spirit are constantly shaping what happens in your gut. He helps you identify and manage food sensitivities with expert precision, while showing you that you are more than molecules. Few doctors and even fewer authors can guide your body and mind so skillfully at the same time. If you are struggling with chronic ailments or if you want to maintain optimal health, this book is a great place to start your journey."

--Leo Galland, MD, Author, The Allergy Solution

"Doc Koz does an outstanding job leading you on the path to optimal health by explaining important healing concepts such as how to do an elimination diet, how to heal your gut, and when to do a low-FODMAP diet. Through exceptional case examples, Doc Koz illustrates the power of Functional Medicine!"

--Elizabeth Boham, MD, MS, RD, Medical Director/Functional Medicine Physician, The UltraWellness Center

And for all who have not realized the tangible benefits they desire, Doc Koz explores and explains the intangible factor most often overlooked that is truly the key to restoring and maintaining gut health and overall wellness."

--Robert Luby, MD,Director of Medical Education Initiatives, The Institute for Functional Medicine

"I wish parents of my pediatric patients who have complex chronic illness or autism would read this book. Doc Koz explains the healing value of elimination diets, beneficial gut microbes, and whole foods. 'What happens in the gut does not stay in the gut' but underlies root causes of many conditions. He is a clinician who treats the whole patient. He explains the crucial concept that regretting the past and worrying about the future affects our gut health, and therefore our overall well-being."

--Elizabeth Mumper, MD, FAAP, IFMCP, Former Medical Director of The Autism Research Institute
"Doc Koz is the REAL DEAL! Doctor comes from the Latin docere--to teach. He is an excellent teacher and a gifted healer who 'walks the talk.' The depth of emotion, authenticity, vulnerability, curiosity, honesty, humility, hope, and humor make this OFFERING of knowledge and wisdom to be a truly valuable tool to add to the toolbox for all people . . . or at least those who are looking to heal. The inspiring stories told here provide a roadmap to move from illness to wellness, across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual domains. Thank you, Doc Koz!"

By coupling this knowledge with a mind-body-spirit perspective of health, Doc Koz shows us the future of medicine."

--Shelia Patel, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Chopra Global
"Doc Koz's Unfunc Your Gut is an easy, enjoyable read, filled with practical information, great stories and useful metaphors. But more than that, the book gives a message of hope, wrapped simply. That is, how you can, step by step, 'empty your bucket' and reverse or control many of the triggers and mediators that lead to chronic disease. It's an uncomplicated yet powerful message."
