Why Guts & Glory Health?

So why are we so keen on sharing our gut healthy microbiome-friendly recipes? A big reason is that feeding our gut microbiome is a foundation for good health, with hundreds if not thousands of studies confirming the link between what we eat and our gut health. And we know understand how: Our gut microbes help produce hundreds of molecules that make us feel (and look!) our best. So as a Medical Microbiologist, I’m extra happy to know about the strong link between gut health and well-being.

Most importantly, because our family like so many others has felt the full force of the pandemic when it comes to mental health, the fact there’s such a strong link between gut health and mental health is a huge motivator for us to keep sharing on Guts & Glory Health.

Thanks for stopping by! And please drop us a note about gut health and mental health topics you’d like to see on the blog.
