Listen Later

Lisa and Alana are co-founders of the Gut Stuff and authors of the new book of the same name -The Gut Stuff an empowering guide to your gut and its microbes.

Whilst having incredibly successful careers as DJs and presenters as "The Mac Twins", they couldn't have been further from the health and wellness world, but as soon as they realised how big the gaps in nutrition information were, they became passionate about bringing the science to EVERYONE and so their gut journey began.

Now a pair of young female CEOs, Lisa and Alana Macfarlane are taking their team which consists of scientists, nutritionists, dieticians and doctors with them as they disrupt the wellness industry by launching their workplace wellness program, widening their product offering and creating services and resources that are available and affordable to everyone.

These two ladies were an absolute joy to speak with and they break down complicated topics in a very easy and digestible way.

Here are some of the things we talked about.

  • How poor sleep impacts your gut and poor gut health impacts your sleep
  • Alcohol, your gut and how to balance the negative effects
  • Gut permeability and leaky gut and why its important that you don't confuse the two.
  • The dangerous or silly dietary fads to avoid in 2021
  • The bullsh*t bin – no carbs and colonics
  • Improving your skin by taken care of your gut
  • The gut brain axis broken down in simple terms
  • The books and podcast that have had the most positive impact on them recently
