Marcus Wareing programme

I was delighted to be a guest speaker @Compass Group UK & Ireland’s Forward with the Marcus Wareing programme.

The team of chefs had been challenged to prepare a meal around the subject of food for better mood and gut health. We covered a lot of topics encompassing all areas of how food impacts not only mental health but our gut health as well.

From the moment we are born our environment and lifestyle can have a huge impact on our health. This can include stress, antibiotics, genetics and our diet. The gut is like a second brain and needs to be fed well and there are foods that promote good gut health like pre and probiotics and foods that don’t like ultra-processed food.

The chefs couldn’t believe how many important neurotransmitters are actually made in the gut and how important the gut and the brain are when working together.

The gut also love diversity so as many plant based foods and different varieties of food the better. In the West we tend to eat the same foods over and over compared to some hunter gatherer tribes in Africa like the Hazda tribe who eat many more.

The challenge for the chefs was to incorporate foods with a variety of colour including polyphenols as well as hitting the target of foods that encourage the growth of good gut bugs.

Kate worked for Dulcolax for four years as their Nutrition Consultant on an award winning national campaign on constipation and raising awareness of bowel habits. This included a substantial campaign in local and national newspapers and magazines on gut health and featuring in a Dulcolax commercial.
