Live Well Be Well with Sarah Ann Macklin | Health, Lifestyle, Nutrition

This week I'm joined by Jordan Haworth, registered dietitian and gut health specialist, and someone who has dedicated his career to understanding one of the most overlooked systems in the human body and how fixing your gut can change everything.

We explore the gut microbiome, what we're getting wrong about healthy eating, and the surprisingly simple changes that can transform your digestion, sleep and wellbeing.
Jordan Haworth is a registered dietitian specialising in gut health and the gut-brain axis. He has worked extensively in both clinical and research settings and is one of the UK's leading voices on the microbiome, IBS, and evidence-based nutrition. Known for cutting through the noise of wellness culture and social media misinformation, Jordan brings clarity, humour and science to one of the most confusing areas of health.

What we explore together:
•Why farting is actually a sign your gut is working and how many times a day is normal
•How trying too hard to fix your gut can actually make it worse
•The eating disorder Jordan developed from trying to eat too healthily — and how he recovered
•Why most of the probiotics on the shelves are what Jordan calls fake probiotics
•The nocebo effect — why your brain can make you physically ill just from believing something
•How you can reverse lactose intolerance by eating more dairy
•Why two kiwis before bed could be the simplest sleep hack you've never tried
•Why squatting on the toilet is better for your bowel movements than sitting
•The link between your oral health and your gut and why mouthwash could be raising your blood pressure

Love, Sarah Ann 💛
