Did you know that probiotics may not be as effective as you thought, the 'leaky gut syndrome' isn't considered an actual thing and yes, you can eat too much fibre...?
Welcome back to another episode of The Growth Medium. In this week's episode, Sara and Mim have stumbled upon yet another nutritional myth to bust. This time they are joined by registered dietician, Jessie Hoffman, who has a PhD in nutritional sciences and is a very keen gut microbiome researcher.
Join them as they discuss the importance of our gut microbiome in our bodies (it is now considered an organ in itself!) and they also clear the water on the 'leaky gut syndrome'.
