About Ultimate Gut

Ultimate Gut is a guide to gut health and making fermented food at home. We explain what the research says, walk through step-by-step methods for making yogurt and other ferments, and compare products on what their labels actually say.

Craig Brockie, founder of Ultimate Gut

In my twenties, after two accidents, my health fell apart: chronic pain, anxiety, constant colds and wounds that wouldn’t heal. The doctors and specialists I saw couldn’t fix it, so I started researching on my own, and I haven’t stopped in 30 years. I started Ultimate Gut to share what the research says about gut health and fermented food, in plain language, without the hype.

How we work

  • Every article starts from primary sources: research papers, government guidance and university extension services, not other blogs.
  • Every factual claim links to the source it came from, and the full list of sources sits at the end of each article.
  • Articles are checked against their sources before they are published.
  • Articles are general information, not medical advice. They are not reviewed by a doctor or dietitian, so talk to your own doctor about your health.
  • We never claim that a food or supplement treats, cures or prevents a disease.
