A brother, a sister,and a lot of gut feelings.
The connection between what's happening in your gut and what's happening in the rest of your body — your skin, your mood, your energy, your immune system — is one of the most significant things modern science is getting to grips with. And yet most people have no idea. They're treating symptoms on the surface while the source of the problem sits quietly beneath it.
We wanted to change that. Not with a complicated protocol or a 47-step plan. Just something simple, effective, and actually worth taking every day. Something that worked on the gut from every angle — the microbiome, the gut lining, digestion, inflammation, and yes, the mind too.
It took a year of formulation, a lot of late nights, and more conversations about prebiotics than we ever expected to have. But The Mindful Gut is what came out the other side. A complete daily formula, made by two people who needed it as much as anyone.
We're Gutd. And we're very glad you found us.
Louisa
Co-founder — naturopath & formulation
Louisa spent five years studying herbal medicine and naturopathy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine — one of the UK's leading institutions for natural health. She now runs a private practice, working with patients across a wide range of health concerns.
But her interest in the gut didn't start in a lecture hall. It started with her own skin.
From a young age, Louisa struggled with eczema. For years it was treated as a skin condition — creams, avoidance, management. It wasn't until a visit to Helios Pharmacy that someone connected the dots: what was happening on her skin was a signal from her gut. That moment changed everything.
What followed was years of research, clinical training, and real-world practice — learning how to read the gut, heal it, and support it from the inside out. The Mindful Gut is everything she learned, in a single daily scoop.
Panos
Co-founder — brand & marketing
Before Gutd, Panos spent years in marketing — helping brands create things worth looking at. He had a good eye and a lot of opinions about creativity. Still does.
What he also had: hay fever, dry skin, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. Not exactly the wellness influencer origin story. But real — and it sent him down a long, winding road of dietary experiments that ranged from sensible to slightly unhinged. Keto. Juice fasts. Eliminating refined sugar entirely. Years of trial and error, with results that came slowly and cost him a lot of snacks he misses.
Eventually though, it clicked. The skin, the sinuses, the inflammation — it kept coming back to the gut.
So when his sister Louisa — a qualified naturopath with her own gut health story — suggested they make something together, the answer was obvious. Gutd is what happens when you've both spent years learning things the hard way and decide nobody else should have to.
