The Gut Stuff

The Mac Twins’ have been interested in gut health and wellbeing for several years, starting in 2015 with their YouTube series, which looks into ‘the gut microbiome’ and genetic conditions.

From the success of the YouTube series, the Mac Twins founded ‘the gut stuff’ – an online platform to help people with their own gut issues, and via the platform offer workplace wellness talks where they discuss the links between workplace stress and gut distress.  Their workplace wellness clients include: WWF, Genius Gluten Free and the Royal Air Force, just to name a few…

The lines between work/life balance have never been so blurred, which is why it’s is now the direct responsibility of employers to ensure their staff are not only focusing on their wellness, but are given access to other businesses, experts and information to help them do so.

Their expertise also saw them sit on the NHS Food Review Board and achieve B Corp status.  They also have produced a collection of gut-friendly snack bars and a mobile app so everyone can easily get to know their gut better!
