The gut, with Lisa and Alana Macfarlane
What affect does your gut have on your physical and mental health? And how can your poo help you track the health of your gut? Once DJs travelling the world eating processed food and drinking alcohol, identical twins Lisa and Alana Macfarlane now think about putting lovely, fibrous food in their bodies in order to promote good bacteria in their guts.

About Dr Giles Yeo Chews the Fat
We tend to reduce food and health to bitesize nuggets of information, like calories or BMI. It’s understandable; numbers are easily digestible when we’re looking for answers or a quick fix. But the thing is, there’s a lot more to health – hey, there’s a lot more to life! – than the numbers you see on the back of a crisp packet or on the scales. Geneticist Dr Giles Yeo feels we need a bit more space to think about the relationship food has with our body, our mind, and even our soul! Join Giles as he chews the fat with fellow foodies, scientists, and doctors. Across this series, he’ll be asking how our genes play a role in weight loss and gain, how our stomachs chat to our brains, and whether going on a run really means we can gorge on doughnuts when we get home...
