*What is the NiMe diet?*
It's the 'Non-industrialised Microbiome Restore' diet that is designed to help boost Limosilactobacillus reuteri.
That microbe is linked to health benefits like an improved immune system, better ability to regulate blood sugars, and possibly improve mental health:

*Who should try the NiMe diet?*
Someone who is looking to improve their overall health and is keen to try 'from scratch' cooking. Ingredients don't need to be pricey - they can be bought at supermarkets or local shops (our local Asian market has amazing deals!).
*Who should be mindful?*
Those with fit conditions like IBS, IBD. Someone with disordered eating or an eating disorder.
This diet is high in FODMAPs which can worsen some gut conditions. A modified version of the NiMe diet can be advised by a dietitian, tailored for someone's unique needs.
Relationships with food vary hugely, our team are always mindful that health media can subtly put foods in 'good' or 'bad' categories which disordered eating latches on to and actually causes more dietary restriction and health issues. Principles from the NiMe diet can be tailored for someone who has a difficult food relationship with careful guidance from an eating disorders and gastro dietitian.
