Are those gut healthy snacks you’re buying legit?

What’s actually in them? And what should you be eating if you really want to take care of your gut? I’m talking all about the basics of good gut health, gut healthy snacks and sourdough with Chicago-based registered dietitian Morgan Murdock on The Allsorts Podcast!

Way back in 2019 I was at Expo West, North America’s largest natural foods expo and as I wandered the aisles upon aisle (there literally thousands of products on display!) I couldn’t help but notice that everything was trying to be a “gut healthy” snack.

Of course, as a dietitian I immediately was checking ingredients to see what actually made these products “gut healthy” and knew that this was going to hit shelves in a MAJOR way.

Fast forward a few years, and we’re definitely in it. So I thought it would be fun to have a little bit of a “dietitian confessional” with fellow gut health dietitian Morgan Murdock, founder of a new, yes, gut healthy, snack brand, Unbothered Foods.

We’re unravelling what makes a food gut healthy or gut friendly like low FODMAP foods vs what we actually look for in foods that promote gut health, such as foods that are high in fibre.
