GUT HEALTH | Your gut health matters more than you think


Listen Later

Did you know there is a major link between gestational diabetes and your gut?

Research has consistently shown that the gut microbiome of women with GD is remarkably different compared with women without GD, and is potentially something that can be targeted to improve blood sugar, and influence the long term health outcomes for you and your baby. So it's important to pay attention to it!

In this episode I go into detail about everything we currently know about the relationship between the gut and GD, discuss the role of probiotics and prebiotics, and give you practical steps to make sure you are eating the right things for a healthy happy gut.
