About this episode

This episode shares the origin story of Gutology and explores the connection between gut health and modern living.

In this episode, we share the origin story of Gutology, how years of digestive issues, antibiotic use, and scepticism led to a complete rethink of health, bacteria, and modern living. We explore the connection between the gut, oral microbiome, immune system, and home environment and why the cultural obsession with “killing 99.9% of bacteria” may be working against us. We also discuss: -How oral health links to systemic inflammation -Why Western lifestyles are shrinking microbial diversity -The philosophy behind microbiome-first oral care -What low-tox living looks like in the real world -This is the story behind the brand and why we believe the future of health isn’t sterile. It’s symbiotic. For studies, products, and further reading, see the show notes below. You can also subscribe to our Weekly Digest at gutology.co.uk. Learn more about your ad choices.
