Love At First Science Episode 79 Part 1 - Gut Myths and the Power of Diversity with Dr Megan Rossi
Is your gut trying to tell you something? It might be the key to your mood, energy and overall health, and it’s not about cutting things out.
In this episode, Hannah is joined by leading gut health researcher and dietitian, Dr Megan Rossi (aka The Gut Health Doctor), for a myth-busting deep dive into the microbiome. They unpack why gut health is not about going gluten-free, the real reason fibre is your best friend, and how plant diversity can radically change your well-being.
Dr Megan shares:
Why the gut is the gateway to overall health
The biggest myths about gut health (including green powders and daily probiotics)
What really feeds your microbiome
The ‘Super Six’ plant categories you should include daily
How to build up your gut’s resilience (yes, even if beans make you bloat)
You’ll also hear the truth about microbiome tests, food intolerance kits, and whether your morning coffee is friend or foe. Packed with research and easy-to-apply tips, this is an empowering listen for anyone curious about eating and living well.
About Megan
Dr Megan Rossi (PhD, RD) founded The Gut Health Doctor in 2017 with a dream to empower everyone to take control of their health. As a scientist and practising clinician, she became frustrated that the ground-breaking research from her team and other colleagues around the world wasn’t reaching the public. Instead, dangerous myths and fads shared online were negatively impacting on the wellbeing of her patients.
In 2019, Megan founded The Gut Health Clinic, leading a team of gut-specialist dietitians with virtual and face-to-face clinics in London and Manchester. She has also created the multi-award-winning gut health food brand Bio&Me to bridge the gap between science and the food industry. More recently, she founded SMART STRAINS®, a family of four clinically proven, condition-specific live bacteria products which challenges the current – and outdated – market offering using the right strain, at the right time, in the right way.
Our mission is to inspire and transform everyone’s gut health using the latest science.
