A couple of days left in our Gut Check campaign, and our "A**s Beef" billboards got NZ talking!

Millions of views. Reddit threads. Radio. Print. Facebook community groups buzzing. People pulling over to photograph a giant burger named after a body part 😅

But the only metric that actually matters is whether you've done your Gut Check.

Three checks. Go to gutcheck.co.nz.

Take it. Then send it to someone, your mum, the mate who's been "meaning to see the GP," the group chat. You know who needs to hear this.

Talk sh*t. Save lives. 💩

Talking 💩 has never been more important.

The legends from got real about gut health on the pod, sharing why knowing what’s going on in your gut matters and why ignoring symptoms isn’t the best game plan.

It’s time for a change.

Your gut and brain are basically in a group chat together 🧠💩

Ever noticed how your tummy changes when you’re stressed? Or how gut issues can leave you feeling flat, anxious or just off? That’s because your gut and brain are constantly talking to each other. In fact, most of the messages in your gut-brain connection actually travel from your gut to your brain meaning what you eat, drink and how you look after your gut can influence how you think and feel.

Find out the facts at www.gutcheck.co.nz to explore how your microbes, mood, stress and digestion are all linked 💙
