Eric’s Clinical Perspective

I have created the resources throughout this Gut Health Resources Hub based on clinical experience from 1987 until 2019, combined with current scientific research and evidence-based practice.

Over the years, I have gathered a wide range of knowledge from working with people with digestive and gut health problems. I have used this experience to create practical resources designed to help you better understand your gut and make informed decisions about your health.

These resources include:

  • Books covering important aspects of gut health and digestive disorders.
  • NEW books are available on Amazon in both paperback or Kindle format [HERE]
  • Guides that provide practical, step-by-step information.
  • Reddit posts covering a wide-range of topics.
  • Articles and YouTube educational videos explaining complex topics in simple language.
  • Gut-friendly recipes to help put healthy eating into practice.
  • Practical tools and resources to support your gut health journey.

My aim is to bring together science, clinical experience and practical advice in one place. I believe good gut health education should be clear, honest and useful—and should help you understand not only what to do, but why it may help.

This library is built on those principles and is designed to help you make informed decisions at every stage of your recovery. Eric Bakker, N.D.
