what a start to the year! January is never a slow month around here.
🎓 Lisa’s officially an Oxford Uni graduate! does that technically make Alana one too…?
🍺 a hard worked strategy day = team drinks by the thames (non negotiable).
🐾 we moved into our shiny new office, sharing space with brilliant brands like @discoversuri, @spacegoods and @grubclub... plus MANY four legged furry friends.
💪 we welcomed two new faces to the team. everyone, meet Dan and Ollie!
🌱 still sticking to our mission of bringing gut health to the masses in a way that’s affordable and accessible.
📱 we launched our shop on tiktok shop! you can now buy while you scroll (link in bio).
⭐️ TWO viral posts! fibre, plants and gut health are reaching more people every single day.
🎄 Alana was in China and Lisa had just made a small human, so we didn’t get the full family together. would highly recommend a January Christmas. less stress, zero turkey races.
📣 Alana spoke at the OffScript Generation Summit about careers not being linear, planned or tidy.
🥗 checked out our hospital canteen takeover at St Bartholomew’s Hospital!

gut goals? eat the rainbow 🌈
supporting your gut doesn’t mean a full diet overhaul. it’s all about small swaps in your everyday meals... small swaps = big gut wins.
🥦 broccoli fiend? keep it up, just make sure you’re mixing in veggies of different colours too. more variety = happier gut bugs.
🍎 stuck on one fruit? they’re all good for you. each one brings something different to the table (hello polyphenols + antioxidants 👋).
🥜 nuts your go to snack? great fibre hit. but why not grab a mixed bag? different nuts = extra benefits.
🍚 think grains galore! switch things up with grains like couscous, quinoa, bulgur wheat etc. to give your gut an extra fibre boost it’ll thank you for.
every gut is different. this is general advice, if you’ve got gut symptoms, have a chat with a healthcare professional before making changes.
👇 have you tried any of these swaps? tell us below!

it’s just 30 mins... but that 30 mins can change your entire day.
📱 swap pre bed doomscrolling for a book, blue light messes with melatonin and your sleep
🍔 burger craving? use that delivery wait time to make your own! we’ve got a delish beetroot burger recipe on the app 😏 comment “BURGER” for it
🚶♀️ snoozing for 30 more mins? we get it. but getting up and grabbing some morning light can help you feel way more human on screen heavy days
☕️ a cup of coffee isn’t breakfast, whilst it’s brewing whip up a balanced breakfast to feel energised and satiated (short on time in the morning prep it the night before)
the 30 mins are going to pass anyway... might as well make it gut loving!
