How can you really know which products or foods are actually gut-friendly?

A lot of companies make claims but is there an actually reliable source?!

Meet Bio&Me!

Dr. Megan Rossi—widely known as The Gut Health Doctor—was a leading research fellow at King’s College London, specializing in gut health. Teaming up with marketing expert Jon Walsh, she set out to create Bio&Me: a range of affordable, gut-loving porridges, cereals, and yoghurts that blend cutting-edge science with unbeatable taste.

Is gut health important?

First things first: a healthy gut is home to beneficial bacteria and immune cells that help fend off infections. It also communicates directly with the brain through nerves and hormones—playing a key role in our overall health and wellbeing. Caring for your gut doesn’t just support your brain, heart, and skin—it can also aid in weight management, boost mental health, and lower the risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.
So… you decide—pretty important, right?

How exactly does Bio&Me improve my gut health?

When it comes to gut health, dietary fibre from a diverse range of sources is essential. Plant-based foods—like fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, nuts, and seeds—feed our gut bacteria rather than harm them, helping our microbiome thrive. Experts recommend aiming for 30 different plant-based foods each week to keep your biome—the collection of microbial genes unique to you—nourished and flourishing.

Bio&Me’s granolas, mueslis, and porridges make that easier than ever, packing in 12+ plant-based ingredients to help you hit your fibre goals while enjoying every bite.

Where can I find Bio&Me?

You’ll find Bio&Me on the shelves of Amazon, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Booths, Tesco, Asda, and Ocado—so pretty much everywhere you already shop!

How well have they been doing?

Bio&Me is now stocked in over 38,000 retail outlets, including all major supermarkets. The brand has caught the attention of some big names—most notably England and Bayern Munich star Harry Kane, who’s a major investor. Since launching, Bio&Me has also racked up an impressive list of accolades, including being named UK Future Brand of the Year in 2021.
