About this episode
On episode 95 of Just The Fitness Tip, we speak with former Love Island DJs and Virgin Radio presenters, Lisa & Alana MacFarlane, The Mac Twins.
After volunteering to be part of the TwinsUK research at King’s College London, they founded The Gut Stuff, an online wellness platform designed to promote the importance of a healthy gut.
We ask why they went from DJing events for Simon Cowell and presenting Love Island to telling people to care more about their gut microbiome.
They make look like Gwyneth Paltrow and they certain talk a lot of sh*t but and their company isn’t part of the ‘eat like me, look like me’ brigade of mindless influencers. Instead, with the help of a wealth of experts researching this exciting new field, they tell us why they turned their back on showbiz to take a gamble starting a company their management said would "ruin their careers" in order to bring gut health to the masses.
They share tips from their book, The Gut Stuff: An Empowering Guide to Your Gut and Its Microbes, to help regulate your hormones, control your blood sugar, manage the calories that you absorb, affect your immune system and, most fascinatingly, communicate with your nervous system and you’re brain.
