ABOUT GUTSY

Is this £5 bottle of Kombucha worth it for the health benefits? What does it actually do? Should I just take a supplement instead? Is this all just another food fad?

These were the endless questions I was hearing back in 2015 while working for private clients, so I went on a mission to find out more, but I quickly discovered there was a serious lack of resources online, and very little conclusive scientific data. I wanted evidence based, inspiring information. Where could I find out more? 

I decided to create Gutsy : The Gut Health Guide, to help others that were asking the same questions I was, and still are today.

When I was first introduced to fermented foods and gut health I was so inspired, but equally had so many questions wondering if this REALLY was the best approach to healthy eating? Year after year, I have been discovering more about this topic, and meeting fascinating people, and have concluded that this really is a healthy trend that is here to stay.

Gutsy functions as a resource, to inform and inspire, but also point you in the direction of the best products, books, equipment and resources to help you to make choices that work for you to lead a healthier, gutsy life.

I have experienced first hand that a healthier gut supports a healthier body, and in turn effects so many other systems in your body - immunity, stress, weight, mental health.

I hope you will join me to discover this for yourself as well.

MISSIONS

Here at Gutsy we shed light on key concepts in gut health, by introducing the main concepts and players in this burgeoning science.

We are not here to paralyse you with too many facts and figures, but simply inspire you to start tuning into your own gut by explaining why this is a positive move.

We have done the hard work for you and compiled bite-sized information, which can help you on your journey.

Our commitment is to provide the highest standards of evidence based gut health information in an appropriately easy to digest format.

We are passionate about bringing communities back together through fermenting workshops, retreats and supper clubs, and encouraging you to spread the word about the importance of Gut Health. You can see what we get up to our Gutsy Events video here.
