Can You Rebuild Your Gut? Healthy Carbs & Undoing Past Habits
About this episode
Can you rebuild your gut after a course of antibiotics? This week, we look at what really helps the microbiome recover, from fibre and fermented foods to what you might want to eat in those first few weeks. We also tackle the fear around microplastics and chemicals in tinned foods, how to bring carbs back into your diet after years of diet culture, and whether the 80/20 rule is actually useful. Plus, can a healthier lifestyle today help offset some of the choices you made in your teens and twenties? We talk heart health, cancer risk and why it’s never too late to make positive changes. And we get personal on raising children with a healthy relationship with their bodies, before finishing with a much lighter recommendation: the Korean exfoliating mitt we keep talking about.
