“Because she's science-based, good on gut biomes, and doesn't demonise potatoes. I like that, specially the last one.” Jill Dupleix, food writer of Jill Dupleix Eats on The Gut Makeover.

Welcome to The Gut Makeover!

My mission is to help you eat well and feed your microbiome (gut bacteria) really well.

This can improve your digestion, weight, immune system, brain, and skin.

So how did we get here?

I am a nutritional therapist (BSC, mBANT CNHC) in London. I was a very early adopter of microbiome-boosting foods and quickly saw great results. I felt compelled to share this strategy, and so a bestselling book was born…

The Gut Makeover started off as a book I wrote in 2015 when microbiome research started exploding.  

It was originally a 4-week plan I designed to recalibrate your microbiome –  by cutting out the rubbish in your diet and bombarding your gut with good stuff - eating diversity (30+plants a week) and, “live” foods such as kefir and sauerkraut.

Through The Gut Makeover book many people around the world saw their IBS  (irritable bowel syndrome) clear up, skin conditions dramatically improve, inflammatory conditions calm down and weight reduce.

Then I started this Substack because I realised most people don’t just need to shape their microbiome for four weeks, then go back to old habits.

Most of us need inspiration and help continually to be healthy.

Health is an ongoing project!

I bring you the latest nutrition research - with takeaway tips you can implement straight away - interwoven with my 16 years nutritionist experience.

“The value of your newsletters is often in the small issues that you raise.

“I most like the small community feel of this Substack. It feels personal.”

“I like the Substack newsletter as it allows you to give more detailed content behind the paywall than an Instagram post.”
