Kick Depression in the Guts: The Irreverent Guide to Fixing Depression

Ross Wilkinson

THE IRREVERENT GUIDE TO FIXING DEPRESSION - From one who's been there!


Ross Wilkinson's a regular family guy; family man, businessman, and sportsman. He was living a great life until 'BANG'...Depression hit, seemingly out of nowhere. He struggled with the illness for two years and then 'BANG'...one day he found a solution. By taking probiotics, he repaired his gut health. It was a very fortunate accident.


Being an engineer, Ross wanted to know 'why' it worked. He devoured every book, scientific paper, and magazine article on the subject of probiotics and gut health, discovering their links to mental health. By combining the science, real world observation, anecdotal evidence, and old wives' tales, he found the answers he was looking for.


I'll reveal his formula for alleviating Depression right now!


- Take Probiotics to fix your gut health

- Eat more Salt

- Get more Sunshine (or eat it!)

- Avoid Poisons

- Drink Alcohol (but not too much)

- Eat the foods that your Grandparents ate

- Be wary of Supplements and Vitamins


Ross claims biology, not psychology, is responsible for most Depression, and that primary cause is Antibiotics.

About the Author

Wilkinson, Ross: - Ross Wilkinson is an engineer, husband, and father of three children. After suffering with depression he cured it, almost by accident. This is the author's first literary work about his personal experiences and extensive research into the causes and the cure. A career in the little known field of 'reverse engineering', involves finding out what works first, then finding out why. That's exactly how Ross fixed his Depression; he conducted a range of low risk experiments and when he found something that worked, he then discovered 'why'. The Wilkinson family live in the closest place to heaven as is worldly possible. It's called Queensland, Australia: Two minutes from the beach and midwinter, the water temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Ross hates travelling from his Nirvana, but he's possibly one of the world's greatest travellers...so for someone who doesn't like to travel, just proves that you can't have it all. As the Rolling Stones say in Ross's favourite song, 'You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well, you just might find, you get what you need'.
Wilkinson, Monica: - Monica Wilkinson comes from a long line of scientists and engineers. Monica's father was just about the most notable Microbiologist ever in Australia and appeared in the book of 'Who's Who'. Microbiologists have only existed for the last hundred years. Prior to that, we didn't know that bacteria existed. Microbiology is the study of tiny living things, the theme of this book. Monica and her father are Microbiologists, but instead of spending their time helping humans and human bacteria, they wasted their time making better quality wine and alcohol. Alcohol is made from yeast and bacteria, again, the main theme of this book. Yes, I agree, that's a noble cause too. Only the perfect woman (Monica) can say, "Well if you need a drink, just wait 24hrs and I will brew you up 100 gallons of the stuff, and anything that's left over you can put in your car." Monica has a PhD in Microbiology, largely in the study of ethanol fuel manufacturing, but I'm sure she would say that raising three children and a rogue husband, are her greatest achievements.

Praise for this book

I've been working with probiotics and pre-biotics all my life. The action of fermenting soya beans provides the perfect pre-biotic functional food to promote the action of probiotics essential for our gut health. I never imagined that they could be beneficial for mental health as well.

Michael Joyce, Mighty Bean Tempeh


I was struggling, I admit. When Ross recommended probiotics, I resisted at first. After reading Kick Depression in the Guts I thought, why not give it a go. It wasn't like a revelation, but I sure know when I haven't taken them. I am convinced they work.

I read this book while I was in Fiji and ended up giving it to some Californians I met, who really wanted it, so it has gone international already! There are some really good and easy general health tips in there for anyone to benefit from. I really enjoyed it.
