What if your gut bacteria could influence your stress levels, sleep quality and even hormone balance? Welcome to the science of the gut-brain connection.

In Part 2 of Hannah’s conversation with Dr Megan Rossi, things get personal, practical and deeply empowering. From the microbiome’s role in mental health to probiotics that actually work, they unpack the latest science—without the jargon.

Inside this episode:

  • The truth about good vs bad gut bacteria

  • Why personalisation is the future of nutrition (but we’re not quite there yet)

  • What Smart Strains are and how they’re different from typical probiotics

  • Gut-directed yoga and how movement supports digestion and mental clarity

  • How your microbiome may influence oestrogen and hormone health

Plus, Megan shares surprising gut-friendly tips you can try today, like pairing white chocolate with carrots and explains how the gut responds to stress, breathing and even mindset.

If you’ve ever felt confused by wellness trends, this episode will bring clarity, backed by real science and grounded in compassion.

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a family of four clinically proven, condition-specific live bacteria products which challenges the current – and outdated – market offering using the right strain, at the right time, in the right way.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.
