This week on Chatting Shit, we’re cracking open a jar (literally) and diving deep into the world of fermentation.We are joined by clinical neuroscientist and "fermentation fanboy" Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, alongside the wonderful Chessie King Carter and Matt Carter Lewis, to break down how fermented foods can actually support your gut without you needing to live in a cottage-core fantasy.In this episode, we chat about:• The 4 Ks: Kimchi, Kombucha, Kefir, and Kraut - we find out if they are indeed the holy trinity for gut health• What is a SCOBY? (And why does it look like a jellyfish?) • The Science: Busting myths on sugar, alcohol content, and why "leaky gut" isn't quite what you think it is.• The Gut-Brain Connection: Miguel shares fascinating insights from his new book on how our belly bugs influence our nervous system and ADHD.• Real Talk: Why stress might be blaming your kombucha for bloating, and why "doing your best" is actually enough.Plus, we discuss why Chessie’s mum is the epitome of health, Alana’s "crack kale" addiction, and why you definitely don’t need to be perfect to start looking after your microbiome.This bonus episode is brought to you by Equinox Organic Kombucha.

Dymund’s got five mouths to feed (yes, five!) — so how on earth are we meant to keep our own guts happy and look after the tiny microbiomes of our kids too? This week, the gang dives into the wild world of children’s gut health: from the magic of the first 100 days, to the murky waters of antibiotics, and figuring out who actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to kids’ nutrition (spoiler: it’s not your neighbour’s Facebook group).Lisa shares why her toddler’s fussy eating might not be personal (it’s a whole "neo-phobic" thing — science says so!), and we tackle the all-too-familiar beast that is mum guilt. Plot twist: it’s useless. Bin it.And of course, it wouldn’t be a Chattin Sh*t without poo talk. We’re covering everything from the dreaded baby poonami (brace yourself) to handling constipation in kids — no sugar-coating here, just straight-up, stool-based storytelling.

From supermarket bread panic to the baffling health halo around "natural" snacks, we’re separatingthe evidence from the hype.Grab your trainers and maybe a snack (with fibre, obvs) — this one’s for the gut-curious and cardio-loving alike.
