Professor Spector Debunks Gut Hacks | Leicester News

Matt Damon’s “gut cleanse” for a movie role sparked a viral trend of quick-fix gut hacks, but Professor Tim Spector is calling it out—most are nonsense. He blasts three popular fads: parasitic cleanses (which lack evidence and can be dangerous), colonic irrigation (unnecessary and potentially harmful to your microbiome), and hot water rituals (temperature doesn’t matter for detox). His simple, science-backed advice? Eat 30+ diverse plant foods weekly, load up on veggies, fruits, beans, whole grains, and fermented foods, and ditch ultra-processed junk. Your gut microbes will thank you. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
