Sliding Doors

Show Notes

Dr Megan Rossi is a world-leading gut health Scientist, Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, and is widely known as ‘The Gut Health Doctor.' She is considered one of the most influential gut health specialists internationally with an award-winning PhD in gut health, which was recognised by receiving the Dean’s Award for outstanding research. Megan has also published multiple Sunday Times Bestsellers and founded The Gut Health Clinic in London, where she leads a team of gut-specialist dietitians. As well as all this, she is the founder of her own multi-award-winning gut health food brand Bio&Me, and most recently launched a range of clinically proven live bacteria supplements Smart Strains, to revolutionize how people understand and use live bacteria supplements.

In this episode Megan discusses her thoughts on the correlation between our gut and making decisions when we follow that 'gut feeling.' She has an incredible passion and dedication for everything she sets her mind to and believes in the power of resilience and working hard to make the right opportunities happen. Her three Sliding Doors Moments include: not getting the grades to study medicine and doing a dietetic degree instead that changed her whole life's path, changing her mind last minute and deciding to go on a night out where she met someone very important and being rejected eleven times and giving up on a project before receiving a message that made her try one last time....and succeed!
