We believe everyone deserves to know their guts, so we’ve got together great experts and made some “s

We’re Alana and Lisa Macfarlane (The Mac Twins) DJs and Presenters spinning records on Virgin and BBC Radio and chatting to you from your television. For years, whilst gigging by night, we’ve been supporting science by day. At the British Gut Project/Twin Research, King’s College London, UK, we’ve been so shocked and excited by what we’ve found, we just have to share our new “gut health” obsession with you all. We’re not experts, we’re still learning, so come on the journey with us.

probiotics - think of them as the cherry on top of your gut health cake 🍒

get your foundations right (fibre, variety, hydration, sleep, movement) and these are a great little addition... 💪

you could try:
live yoghurt
kefir
kimchi
sauerkraut
miso
you get the gist - make sure the label says ‘live microbes’ 🦠

which ones will you be giving a try? 🤔

we should all be aiming for 30g fibre a day... but if you’re new to this, the key is not to rush it! 💪

upping your fibre too quickly can leave you feeling bloated, gassy and a little uncomfortable. our top tip? up your fibre by 5g a day each week, giving your gut time to adjust.

some foods are just better together… and we’re not just talking about taste 👀

turns out, pairing certain foods can actually help your body get more of the good stuff out of them.

our fave? 🌱 fibre + water. when you’re upping your fibre, don’t forget to keep your water intake up too. it helps keep your stool soft and things moving along nicely 💩
