  1. Episode 1

    Fermentation, Crack Kale & The Gut-Brain Axis with Chessie King & Matt Carter and Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas

    This week on Chatting Shit, we’re cracking open a jar (literally) and diving deep into the world of fermentation. We are joined by clinical neuroscientist and "fermentation fanboy" Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, alongside the wonderful Chessie King Carter and Matt Carter Lewis, to break down how fermented foods can actually support your gut without you needing to live in a cottage-core fantasy. In this episode, we chat about: • The 4 Ks: Kimchi, Kombucha, Kefir, and Kraut - we find out if they are indeed the holy trinity for gut health • What is a SCOBY? (And why does it look like a jellyfish?)  • The Science: Busting myths on sugar, alcohol content, and why "leaky gut" isn't quite what you think it is. • The Gut-Brain Connection: Miguel shares fascinating insights from his new book on how our belly bugs influence our nervous system and ADHD. • Real Talk: Why stress might be blaming your kombucha for bloating, and why "doing your best" is actually enough. Plus, we discuss why Chessie’s mum is the epitome of health, Alana’s "crack kale" addiction, and why you definitely don’t need to be perfect to start looking after your microbiome. This bonus episode is brought to you by Equinox Organic Kombucha. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Fibremaxxing: The Gut Health Upgrade You’ve Been Ignoring

    This week on chattin' sh*t, we’re talking about the most underrated thing in your diet: fibre. And honestly, it might be the one that changes everything. Alana sits down with registered nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert to unpack why only around 4% of us are getting enough fibre, and what that’s quietly doing to our gut, hormones, mood, and long-term health. From the literal magic happening in your microbiome to the role of short-chain fatty acids in reducing inflammation, this episode goes way beyond “eat your veg.” We get into: • Why fibre isn’t just about hitting 30g a day, it’s about diversity, colour, and what you add in • The link between fibre and blood sugar, heart health, and even skin (yes, really) • The rising bowel cancer stats, and why over half of cases are diet-related • The truth about protein hype, sugar fears, and why fibre slows glucose spikes • Women’s health, hormones, and why your gut bugs matter more than you think • Fibre and mental health, and the gut-brain connection you can’t ignore • Bloating, building tolerance, and how to actually increase fibre without wrecking your gut We’re calling it fibremaxxing, but without the chaos. No restriction, no overhaul, no sad salads. Just smarter additions, better gut bugs, and a very strong case for finally giving fibre the spotlight it deserves. Plus: why kiwis are elite, why we’ve completely lost the plot on protein, and the one simple thing you can start doing tomorrow that your gut will thank you for. Hosted on Acast.

    From Poo Samples to a Gut Health Revolution with Tim Spector

    10 years ago, we handed over our poo to Professor Tim Spector in the name of science. Fast forward a decade and gut health is everywhere. But with all the hype, misinformation and miracle cures doing the rounds, are our guts actually any healthier? In this episode of Chatting Shit, we're reunited with world-renowned gut health expert Professor Tim Spector to separate the science from the, well, sh*t. We're digging into everything we've learned about the gut microbiome over the last decade, from why your gut bacteria could be influencing your mood, energy and mental health, to whether probiotics really work, why prebiotics are having their moment, and how long it actually takes to improve your gut health. Plus, we revisit the experiment that started it all (yes, it involved a LOT of poo), bust some of the biggest gut health myths circulating on social media, and get Tim's take on the simple, science-backed changes that can make a difference. Think 30 plants a week, fermented foods, more fibre and less falling for gut health BS. No miracle pills. No restrictive diets. Just a whole lot of gut-loving science, a few questionable memories and plenty of chatting sh*t. Your microbes are going to want to hear this one. Hosted on Acast.
