What does a balanced plate actually look like? 🍽️

A simple way to build a meal that is both nourishing and satisfying: fill 1/2 your plate with colourful veggies & fruit, then add a source of protein and some carbs. Plus a little healthy fats!

Building a balanced plate doesn’t need to be complicated. Fill half with fruit and veg, a quarter with whole grains, and...

Probiotics or prebiotics… what’s the difference? 🦠🌱

They’re often talked about together, but they actually do quite different things in your gut.
Swipe through to learn the difference and why both can be helpful.

Your gut microbiome does far more than support digestion, it may also play a role in your mood, your immune function, and even your sleep. Through the gut-brain axis, your microbiome helps produce and regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin, a large portion of which is made in the gut.

So supporting your gut may be one meaningful piece of supporting your mood, immunity, and rest.

Your gut does so much more than digest food. It’s home to trillions of microorganisms — your gut microbiome — and a large part of your immune system actually lives in your gut lining.

Your microbiome may also play a role in your mood, your sleep, and how well your body absorbs nutrients, and it helps maintain the gut lining that acts as a barrier for the rest of your body.

So when your gut is out of balance, the effects may reach far beyond digestion. It’s all connected — support your gut, and you support your whole body.

Your gut does so much more than digest food. It’s home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as your gut microbiome, that play a role in supporting immune function, producing certain vitamins, regulating metabolism, and even influencing mood through the gut-brain axis. Your microbiome also helps maintain the gut lining, which acts as a barrier between what you digest and the rest of your body. So when it’s well supported, the benefits may extend well beyond digestion - to your immunity, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing. Small, consistent habits tend to support your gut far more than any quick fix.

Ever noticed your digestion feels off when you’re stressed? Here’s what’s actually happening.

When your body senses stress it shifts into “fight or flight” — a state designed for short term survival, not everyday living. In that state digestion gets deprioritised: blood flow moves away from the digestive tract, gut motility slows, and your body produces less of what it needs to break food down properly.

And when stress becomes chronic, spending prolonged time in this state may affect gut motility, digestive function, and the composition of your gut microbiome over time. It’s the gut-brain axis working in both directions — your gut influences your brain, and your brain influences your gut.

Supporting your gut isn’t just about food, it’s about supporting the nervous system that runs it.

When you’re stressed, your body shifts into “fight or flight” — a state designed for short term survival, not everyday living. In this state digestion gets deprioritised: blood flow moves away from the digestive tract, gut motility slows, and your body produces less of what it needs to break food down properly. That’s why digestion can feel slow or “off” during stressful periods.

And when stress becomes chronic, spending prolonged time in this state may affect gut motility, digestive function, and the composition of your gut microbiome over time. It’s the gut-brain axis working in both directions — your gut influences your brain, and your brain influences your gut. Supporting your gut isn’t just about food, it’s about supporting the nervous system that runs it.

Amy breaks down one of the most fascinating connections in the body — the gut-brain axis. Your gut and brain are constantly talking to each other through your nervous system, hormones, and gut microbes, with the vagus nerve acting as one of the main pathways sending signals back and forth.

Around 90-95% of your body’s serotonin, your happy hormone, is actually produced in your gut — which is one reason why gut health and mood are so closely linked.

And this connection goes both ways. Stress, anxiety, and changes in your nervous system can also influence digestion, gut motility, and even the composition of your gut microbiome.

They’re not separate systems — they’re in constant conversation. 💛
