Alana and Lisa Macfarlane have spent the past few years interviewing tons of gut experts: scientists, academics, chefs and foodies to get the real scoop and science behind what we eat. We now know how important the gut is to our health and wellbeing, including its impact on our immune system and on diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and even mental health, but The Gut Stuff arms the reader with practical knowledge and tangible tips - both lifestyle and dietary - so they can make easy, but life-changing decisions.

'Being identical twin sisters, we have a passion (teetering on obsession) for finding out what's different about us. Twins are a great constant for medical research and we became the 'chief guinea pigs' for the British Gut project where we discovered that despite us having 100% the same DNA our guts have only 40% the same microbiota, which could explain why our bodies behave so differently. Thus our 'gut journey' began.'
