We’re Alana and Lisa Macfarlane (The Mac Twins) DJs and Presenters spinning records on Virgin and BBC Radio and chatting to you from your television. For years, whilst gigging by night, we’ve been supporting science by day. At the British Gut Project/Twin Research, King’s College London, UK, we’ve been so shocked and excited by what we’ve found, we just have to share our new “gut health” obsession with you all. We’re not experts, we’re still learning, so come on the journey with us.

we’re more than just founders...
 
It can be quite tricky in these little squares to show how multifaceted people (and businesses!) are… you might hard never known our obsession with Harry Potter or the fact we have an imaginary friend called “positive polly”
 
So allow us to reintroduce ourselves in a “not so small” nutshell….
 
we’re mothers , public speakers🎤, DJs 🎧, best selling authors 📚, gut pals 👯, tv producers 📺, podcast hosts 🎙️ and (sort of) poo taboo cover girls 💃. every one of those roles brings something different to the table, and together they make up US in all our absolute chaos.
 
we might be a little all over the shop, but that’s kinda the point. gut health isn’t one size fits all... and neither are we. there’s isn’t a perfect formula or pigeon holed solution, just like us and our careers, it’s multifaceted, everchanging and wonderfully complex!

reflecting on our ‘gut’ journey ... how we got from fi-wha!? to feeding guts across the nation ... 💪
 
1. when we first started no-one even knew what fibre was! 👀

2. the universal truth: every expert agreed: we’re not getting enough fibre!🌱

3. the fibre lab was born: we spent years developing our bars to pack in 1/3rd of your recommended daily fibre!💪

4. we sent our bars out into the world with ‘good fibrations’ - 10g of fibre, no nasties, great taste😋

5. the outfit change: introducing The Gut Stuff Bar: same mission better (out)fit 😏

6. the sweet revolution: you asked for sweet fun flavours: we delivered with out ‘limited edt’ sea-salt caramel bars (still here today) 🫶

7. from boots (our 1st retail home) to the big leagues - lining Tesco meal deal queues (pinch me moment!) 🤞

8. determined to reach more guts this year welcomed the launch of brand NEW high fibre pop!🍓🍋🍏
 
the mission continues: affordable. accessible. gut loving. .... ‘butt’ what’s next? comment below what you’d love to see 👀
