In the latest episode of After Hours, Christian and I dove deep into one of my favourite topics — gut health. I called the episode Gut Feeling because our digestive system is far more than just a place where food is broken down. It’s central to how we feel every single day — influencing mood, energy, focus, and even how we respond to stress. Listeners often tell me they “trust their gut” when making decisions, but the truth is, that saying is grounded in biology.
The gut and brain are connected through the vagus nerve, constantly sending signals back and forth. That means when your gut is inflamed or unbalanced, your mind feels it too.
One of the big discussions was whether probiotics are the ultimate fix. I explained why we’ve been looking at it the wrong way — it’s not probiotics, but prebiotics, the functional fibres that feed our good bacteria, that truly build long-term gut resilience.
Also, during the episode, I answered some of the our listener questions! From skincare, skin health and parenting.
What I loved most about this episode was how personal the questions were. People aren’t just curious about their physical health, they want to know how health affects their daily lives, their focus at work, their relationships and even their skin. That’s the beauty of science when it gets personal: it stops being abstract and starts being useful.
