Jacqui is an artisan crafter and supplier of high quality fermented foods and beverages and she’s passionate about helping people make that connection between gut health and the health of their body and mind.
Our gut health also has a big impact on our skin health!

I chat with Jacqui about:

Being only 10% human!
How do the microbes on our skin and gut get there?
The interaction between our gut flora and our immune system
How does our gut flora influence our mood?
What can we eat to help feed our beneficial bacteria?
The impact of food, genetics, stress, sleep and good quality water on our microbiome and how these can disrupt gut flora
Whole foods that are high in fibre, avoiding antibiotics, avoiding heavy metals and chemicals, as well as reducing stress will all help our gut microbiome
How does out gut microbiome affect our skin health?
Fermented foods and fermented beverages
Who are fermented foods not good for?
