Shann is an expert in gut health science and the founder of Chuckling Goat, located on a goat farm in Wales producing award-winning goat’s milk kefir. Shann is also the author of three best-selling books on gut health, works with Cambridge University and is an advisor to the Welsh government.

In this episode, Shann and I chat about her Rude Awakening when her husband, Rich, contracted a superbug MRSA infection after going to hospital for an operation. Shann developed her passion for gut health science when she used kefir to miraculously save her husband’s life from the deadly infection.

We also talk about my personal experience with the magical healing power of Shann’s goat’s milk kefir. Seven years ago I developed an auto-immune condition and doctors told me there was no cure and that I would have to live with it. Through my own research I was led to Chuckling Goat and in just 6 weeks was able to cure my condition.

Amy Thomson is the founder of the app “Moody Month” which is an app that allows women to track their monthly cycles and log their moods and symptoms. The aim is to help women to build a long-term picture of their hormone patterns and connect women with the wellness information and advice they need to address their symptoms including advice about nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness.

In this episode, Amy and I chat about her Rude Awakening of experiencing burnout after founding her first business. During that time Amy was travelling extensively and dealing with the stresses of running a business until in 2016 her periods totally stopped. She spent almost 12 months being told she may be infertile or suffering from any number of terrifying illnesses before finally realising her symptoms were due to burnout.

We also talk about her experience as a female founder and the steps that Amy and the Moody Month team have taken to support women in the US by protecting their data following the overturning of Roe vs Wade.
