You could talk about what constitutes good digestive health for hours due to the complexity of all the different components that contribute to the vast machine that is the GI tract.  However, to keep things simple and short, I will summarise that good digestive health basically means that you and your gut feel good at all times (or most of the time), especially, during and after eating.

New Year is a often time when people make a grisly decision to use January to get healthy and get clean.  Many decide to give up booze, or sugar, or chocolate in an attempt to feel better after all the excesses of Christmas.  A time to become the you that you always wanted to be. 

Bacteria are everywhere and that’s a good thing because they help us to stay alive.  In an ideal world we would have an abundance of bacteria covering our skin, inside our mouths, in our nasal tracts, our respiratory system, eyes, and throughout our entire GI tract.

It was a bit of a surprise to some that we made the restaurant menu grain free (alongside gluten, dairy and refined sugar free), but to many it turned out to be a godsend.  It could have proven controversial as we had also adopted a plant based eating foundation (to which you can add ethically sourced animal products), so when you remove grains and pulses, where do plant based eaters get there grounding and more carb based foods from.
