Show Notes
What does “good gut health” actually mean, and could your gut be affecting everything from your mood to your immune system?
Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey look at gut health, including IBS, bloating, digestion, antibiotics, menopause, probiotics, fibre and the microbiome.
They discuss why the gut is often called the “second brain”, the connection between stress and digestion, how antibiotics can affect your gut bacteria, and the everyday habits that can genuinely improve your health.
Plus, what your poo can tell you about your body, when bloating becomes a red flag, how hormones affect digestion, and whether gut supplements are actually worth it.
