exciting news… catch us on the small screen in new TV show Know Your Sh!t
Gut health is to be put under the microscope in this eye-opening new Channel 4 TV series.
We’ve been banging on about this for years now but every time you have a ‘number two’, it can reveal important clues about many aspects of our health, from mental health and immunity to disease risk and digestive problems. Yet we’re often too embarrassed to talk about it.
We’re so excited to change all that!
Putting poo front and centre of this gutsy new TV clinic, Know Your Sh!t is a fun, accessible and light-hearted series. It will teach people what is and isn’t normal about our bowels, as well as revolutionising our everyday health habits. We’ll be joined by a variety of medical experts who will offer professional diagnostics and advice.
Each episode features different case studies of patients with a variety of complaints. They will all undergo a bowel movement test. The results setting them on a path to better gut health, and better overall health, as they’re offered advice and solutions from a team of experts. Follow along as we track their progress. Plus learn lots of lifestyle hacks to improve your gut health too.
The series will also see us become guinea pigs as we test theories, bust myths and trial fads. Testing what effect they have on our gut and bodies.
Sh!t matters and we’re going to get to know it.
Clemency Green, senior commissioning editor for Channel 4, said:
“This is an unashamedly candid and revealing series that should really help a lot of people. Know Your Sh!t aims to make those awkward conversations that bit easier and encourage people to engage in this vital part of their wellbeing.”
Andy Charles Smith, Executive Producer for Monkey, said:
“From our very first meeting with Alana and Lisa, we knew that their passion, enthusiasm and humour was the perfect remedy to smash Britain’s poo taboo. Your gut, what comes out of it, and what it does for you is genuinely mind-blowing, and potentially life changing. We can’t wait to throw open the doors to our shiny new Poo HQ!”
