About this episode

In this episode, Vanessa discusses the issues with standard protein bars and her journey in creating a gut-friendly alternative with Fodbods.

Enter Vanessa, the genius founder of Fodbods—hands down my absolute favourite protein bars. In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Vanessa to dig into why standard protein bars wreck our guts, how she engineered a clean, allergen-friendly, low-FODMAP certified alternative that actually tastes incredible, and what it really takes to build a health-first brand from the ground up. Inside this episode, we cover: ❌ Why your "healthy" protein bar is causing your midday bloat. ???? The science behind gut-friendly ingredients (and what to look for on a label). ???? Vanessa’s journey from kitchen concept to store shelves. ???? How to fuel your active lifestyle without sacrificing your digestive health. If you are sick of choosing between hitting your protein goals and feeling good in your own skin, this conversation is a must-listen.
