Doctors brushed it off and told me it was something I’d “just have to live with,” leaving me with no real guidance and a long list of symptoms that made everyday life feel unpredictable. If you’ve ever dealt with chronic gut issues, you’ll understand:

The fear of eating out, always needing to know where the nearest toilet is, sleepless nights from pain under the ribs, burning that creeps up your chest, bloating that makes you look and feel unlike yourself - and the anxiety that follows you everywhere because of it.

Over time, the anxiety and the gut issues started bouncing off one another, making everything worse. I felt fatigued, unfocused at work, and like my body was completely in charge of me. Inflammation increased, symptoms of GERD and reflux crept in, and the typical answer was always the same: “Take omeprazole.”

And yes - PPIs can be incredibly helpful short-term. But here’s what no one tells you:

When your gut becomes dependent on being starved of acid, digestion slows. Food can ferment, gas increases, pressure builds, and reflux is triggered again. The real issue never gets addressed. It becomes an endless cycle: more symptoms → more pills → no answers.

That was the moment I became obsessed with understanding the root cause.

While working at GSK, I spent every spare hour diving into natural healing - from targeted gut-support ingredients to breath-work, stress regulation, and the nervous system. I tried everything: gut teas, probiotics, capsules, you name it.

But the breakthrough came when I discovered the gut-brain connection.

Suddenly it clicked. My symptoms weren’t just physical - my mind was playing a role too. The gut and brain talk constantly through the vagus nerve. For people like me (and maybe you), this can mean visceral hypersensitivity:

When you’re stressed or anxious, your gut reacts - inflammation rises, digestion changes, and the microbiome shifts.

And when your gut is inflamed or unhappy, your mood drops, your fatigue skyrockets, and your head feels foggy.

It wasn’t “all in my head.”

It was both - gut and mind, working together.

As I trained in holistic gut-health coaching, I realised something huge:

No supportive product was addressing the full picture.

You had gut-only supplements on one side, brain-only supplements on the other - and to get everything you needed, you’d be spending £100+ a month and swallowing handfuls of capsules. Most were filled with binders, bulking agents, and cheap fillers, meaning they were harsh on the stomach, poorly absorbed, and often weakly dosed.

At home, I’d been making my own blend for years using the most potent extracts I could source - and it worked. But it wasn’t accessible, convenient, or affordable for most people, and ultimately it was still just a personal workaround. I knew that a clinically developed, optimised formula could take it far beyond anything I could create in my kitchen. So I partnered with expert UK supplement developers and set out to create something that didn’t exist:

A complete gut + mind formula.
Root-cause focused.
No capsules. No bulking agents. No nonsense.

A formula designed to support the gut, calm the mind, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and break the cycle that keeps people stuck - instead of simply masking symptoms.
