Hi, this is our first post in this community - we are looking forward to sharing our knowledge, practical ideas and support. We believe good gut health is the key to a wide range of physical and mental health and well being issues and we have the science to prove it!

Our journey while volunteering for Twins UK research at Kings College, London introduced us to scientists who are finding out how optimal gut health has a beneficial impact on our health and well being.

Scientists are now discovering that there's now lots of different bugs and bacteria living within our body, that we also need to feed with probiotics and probiotics and in speaking to food specialists and scientists we’ve realised that Kale isn't actually good for us unless cooked in fat and loads more - its really changed the way we think about Healthy Eating looking at it from a scientific angle and hope it gives you some “food for thought” (sorry!) too.

Pop over to our web site for more information, thegutstuff.com or tune in to our You Tube Channel where we talk to the experts about Gut Health and all things Microbiome.

I know this is definitely the case for most people who have it, but in mine i think it is just anxiety as I have been eating very healthy for several months and my physical symptoms/ stomach have gotten worse. I’ve seen that sometimes even if you eat really healthy you still need to help the anxiety to feel better

Hi - healthy eating is of course one aspect of well being. Symptoms will emerge like bloated, aggravated stomach from stress and anxiety. What we have seen is a correlation between mental health and a poor microbiome (the gut environment). This is because science has discovered 95% of our serotonin, the feel good hormone, is made in the gut.

The key to a healthy gut is a diversity of good bacteria. Top three things that help improve the diversity gut microbiome (the more diverse the better):

1. Fibre.

Add a spoon of bran to your cereal - brown rice, brown bread etc..

2. Polyphenols. - found in food sources such as, cocoa, berries, black & green tea, soy and even red wine :)

3. Probiotics

- found in fermented foods or drinks. Try yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi and others.
