Can you tell us a little bit about the Poowong activity and what it is hoping to achieve ?
As part of Gut Health Month , we ' re on a mission to make the Victorian town of Poowong , Pooright ! Over the course of the week , we ' ve got a team of dietitians - Ali Miles , Alex Stone and Olivia McArthur - working with selected households to provide gut healthy eating education . By implementing a series of simple dietary and lifestyle changes , the dietitians will demonstrate the benefits of a healthy gut , and how small changes can make a massive difference . We ' re really aiming to create the healthiest guts in Australia .
What do you enjoy about working in the gut health space ?
The thing I love the most is the lifechanging results you can achieve with patients . They ' re so motivated to fix their symptoms and they ' re so grateful for the support . We can also give them a sense of hope , particularly when all medical avenues have been exhausted .
