5-Night Gut Health Program

Gut health is increasingly topical as we realise that it impacts all aspects of our physical and mental wellbeing. Our gut microbiota is intricately connected to this and directly influences digestion, inflammation, mood, and aging.

With so much noise out there many people are uncertain what good gut health looks like and needs to be done to improve gut health.

What is a gut healthy diet?
Are there any supplements which can work?
Why fermented foods?
What length of fasting is healthful for your gut?
What kind of exercise is best?
How do I ferment?

In this completely hands-on, integrated 5-night course we answer all of these questions and more.

The program is tailor-made and very practical. It includes a full daily program focused on gut health, useful workshops plus a full fermented food starter pack for yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, sourdough bread and more.
