The Science of Gut Health (& Why It Matters)

I never used to care about my gut health, but it turns out it's super important. I recently spoke to Sophie Medlin on my podcast Deep Dive so I wanted to share all the useful advice I picked up from here. So this video is all about the science of gut health and what we can do to look after it. Enjoy x
