Parental Control, Ep 115: The Secret To Gut Health At Any Age – With Dr Megan Rossi

This week on the podcast, Leonora Bamford catches up with the incredible Dr Megan Rossi, aka The Gut Health Doctor.

Dr Rossi isn’t just a Sunday Times bestselling author – she also holds a PhD in Probiotics and is one of the UK’s leading experts on gut health. In this episode, we talk about how to improve gut health at any age, with everyday, family-friendly tips you can actually use.

From understanding how your gut affects mood, energy, and immunity to clever ways to introduce kids to gut-friendly foods (yes, even picky eaters!), this episode is packed with practical advice and myth-busting insights.

Dr Rossi also shares the truth about supplements, the gut–brain connection (those butterflies in your tummy really do mean something), and why feeding your gut microbes with the “Super 6” – wholegrains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds – is key to lifelong health.

It’s an inspiring, science-backed conversation that’ll leave you wanting to give your gut the love it deserves.
