How's your gut health? This latest episode sees us talk to The Open University's Dr Vikki Haley about the gut microbiome - that's the friendly bacteria and the microscopic organisms that reside inside us, and what they produce, in a nutshell... as Vikki explains.
We cover why gut health is important, the impact gut health has on the entire body, and what we can do to help ourselves (spoiler alert: diet, exercise, sleep! But Vikki says it better.)
