Postbiotics: the tiny secret to gut health (that no one is talking about)!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I'm sure you’ve heard how eating foods with probiotics can be beneficial for gut health. And maybe you’ve even read up on how a healthy gut can impact everything - from your skin, to your digestion and even your mood (hello, gut brain axis)!

Boosting Gut Health and Optimizing Adaptogenic Benefits
As a dietitian, gut health is always on my mind! Did you know that 90% of the serotonin (the neurotransmitter that helps you to feel happy) in our bodies is made in the gut, not the brain?
