Good oral hygiene does more than protect your teeth, it also plays a key role in supporting gut health. Harmful bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and travel to the colon, where they may disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome.

This imbalance can lead to digestive issues like bloating, inflammation, and discomfort. Keeping your mouth clean helps prevent these unwanted microbes from taking root in your gut.

✅Top Tip, apart from engaging in healthy oral hygiene, consider using a natural antimicrobial mouthwash to keep your oral and gut ecosystems in harmony.

This yoghurt is fermented with Lactobacillus casei Shirota and unlike standard probiotic yoghurts, this one is designed to do more than just support digestion!

It actively influences the production of GABA and serotonin, two key neurotransmitters that regulate mood, stress, and sleep.

So, it’s a functional food that supports both your gut and your mind.

Here’s how it can benefit you:

1. Promotes calm and restful sleep: By supporting GABA and serotonin production, this yoghurt helps calm brain activity, reduce stress, and regulate your sleep-wake cycle for more restorative rest.

2. Enhances mental clarity and focus: With its gut-brain axis support, L. casei Shirota contributes to sharper concentration, improved mood, and better cognitive performance throughout the day.

3. Strengthens immunity: The high concentration of beneficial bacteria boosts your levels of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, helping to defend against illness and maintain a resilient immune system.

👉As this is a specialised, small-batch Yoghurt, it's made exclusively to order. You’re welcome to visit my Clinic at Quex Craft Village, or simply place your order online at gutguruofkent.uk for collection.

Inulin is a type of prebiotic fibre that supports gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria, easing bloating, and promoting smoother digestion.

It also helps regulate bowel movements, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the gut lining, all of which contribute to relief from constipation and improved digestive function.

✅Boost your inulin intake with powered chicory root stirred into 'live' yoghurt or used as a non-digestible sugar alternative for coffee.

Emerging research reveals a fascinating link between gut health and BONE STRENGTH, with beneficial bacteria playing a surprising role in supporting skeletal integrity.

Certain probiotic strains can stimulate the release of oxytocin, a hormone traditionally associated with bonding and emotional wellbeing, which has also been shown to promote bone formation and reduce bone loss.

This gut-hormone-bone connection not only supports stronger bones but also contributes to a greater sense of vitality, energy, and overall resilience.

Here’s how beneficial bacteria can support bone health and vitality:

✅Boost oxytocin for bone strength: Specific microbes activate oxytocin pathways, promoting bone regeneration and reducing age-related bone loss.

✅Improve nutrient absorption: Probiotics help the body absorb calcium, magnesium, and other minerals essential for skeletal and muscular vitality.

✅Elevate energy and resilience: A balanced gut reduces inflammation and supports neurotransmitter production, fuelling both physical stamina and emotional clarity.

👉 A well-nourished gut is not only beneficial for your digestive system, it supports your whole body too.

Check out my 'Vitality' yoghurt, it contains the cultures that support stronger bones!

Prepping once again for the Cliftonville Farmers Market this coming Sunday!!

I'll be bringing my usual range of Yoghurts, including my new blend 'GLP Ease'👇

GLP-1 therapy can bring real results, but also real discomfort such as nausea, bloating and constipation, plus muscle loss which can slow down metabolism, all of which can make the journey harder than it needs to be.

That’s why I've blended 3 clinically recognised cultures to create 'GLP Ease', a probiotic-rich yoghurt designed to support your gut and metabolism while you adjust.

Here’s how it helps:

✅ Soothes digestive discomfort – Reduces nausea, bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea.

✅ Supports lean muscle – Helps protect your metabolism from slowing down.

✅ Boosts nutrient absorption – Keeps you nourished, even with a smaller appetite.

It's proving to be a real winner, so get yours early!

This award winning market is held in Cliftonville on the last Sunday of the month, 10 till 1pm, at the Walpole Lawns, CT9 3HF

Gluten can stimulate the release of Zonulin, a protein that disrupts the tight junctions in your intestinal wall. These junctions act like gatekeepers, controlling what passes from your gut into your bloodstream.

When Zonulin levels rise excessively, the gates loosen, allowing larger, unwanted molecules to leak through. This can trigger inflammation and immune responses, potentially leading to symptoms like joint pain, skin issues, and digestive discomfort.

✅Top Tip, if you're sensitive to gluten or managing gut-related conditions, consider reducing gluten intake and focusing on gut-healing foods like probiotic-rich yoghurt, fermented vegetables, and polyphenol-rich oils.

Do you have an INTOLERANCE to a certain food? Check this out 👇

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when bacteria that normally reside in the large intestine migrate into the small intestine, disrupting digestion and triggering symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort, often mistakenly believed to be a Food Intolerance.

Beneficial bacteria play a key role in restoring balance by crowding out unwanted microbes, supporting motility, and enhancing the gut’s natural defence mechanisms.

With the right strains and nutritional support, probiotics can help reduce the severity and recurrence of SIBO while promoting long-term digestive resilience.

Here’s how targeted probiotics can support SIBO recovery:

Rebalance microbial populations: Certain strains help suppress overgrowth of gas-producing bacteria and restore harmony in the small intestine.

Support gut motility: Probiotics can stimulate peristalsis, helping prevent stagnation and bacterial buildup in the small intestine.

Strengthen gut defences: Beneficial microbes reinforce the intestinal barrier and modulate immune responses, reducing inflammation and improving tolerance.

❓Do you think your microbiome might be out of sync?

👉Consider adding a variety of fermented foods to your diet such as kimchi, kefir or yoghurt to your daily meals, try it for a week and see how you feel!

If you suffer from food intolerances or have been diagnosed with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and prefer a non-medication approach, this gentle protocol may help.

SIBO and intolerances often stem from bacteria migrating from the colon into the small intestine, disrupting digestion and causing bloating, gas, and diarrhoea. Many people believe they have sensitivities to foods like onions, garlic, apples, or lactose without recognising the microbial imbalance behind them.

This programme aims to restore digestive harmony by boosting beneficial bacteria and suppressing harmful ones:

1. Dietary guidance: Learn which foods nourish good microbes and which fuel harmful ones. Many unknowingly consume excessive wheat, gluten, and grain by-products that damage the gut lining. I’ll help you identify hidden triggers and swap them for gut-friendly alternatives to ease bloating and discomfort.

2. Probiotic support: Targeted strains of probiotics can produce natural antibiotics that suppress invasive bacteria. Instead of medication, this approach repopulates your small intestine with protective microbes that reduce inflammation and prevent further imbalance.

3. Gut environment rejuvenation: Fermentable fibres help beneficial microbes thrive. You’ll discover prebiotic foods that support your flora without triggering symptoms. Their by-products reinforce the gut lining, improving nutrient absorption and reducing sensitivity.
