Join The Culture Club: 4 London Cafes Prioritising Your Gut Health
Fed up of being bloated? What you eat can have a huge effect on your stomach & if that's the case, you should really consider where it is that you buy your lunch...
The gut health movement is on the up, and we couldn't be happier to see more and more brands, pop-ups and restaurants taking care of our tummies that bit easier - and more delicious! As well as finding the right balance of macro and micronutrients for our individual lifestyles, it’s vital that we are regularly dosing ourselves up with enough pre and probiotics to keep our digestive systems in good stead. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to round up our go-to places in the city where gut health is taken very seriously - they're pretty yummy on the taste buds too!
High Mood Food is the brainchild of holistic coach Ursel Barnes and culinary fermentation expert Joey O’Hare. Nestled behind bustling Oxford Street, this gut loving haven has every tummy friendly box ticked. From house-made sauerkraut and kimchi through to their signature High Bowls packed with prebiotic + probiotic heroes (hello tempeh falafel!), High Mood Food is paving the way for the ‘slow food fast’ movement in London. Their ‘High Flyer’ tonics include a beetroot infused number and a super cleansing Apple Cider Vinegar cleanse spiked with local honey - FYI they pair very well with their signature desserts, all of which are low sugar too. Chestnut flour brownie anyone?

Leon’s collaboration with Dr Megan Rossi brought gut health goodness to the masses and is set to continue with true taste. From kefir smoothies to probiotic rich salads, it’s amazing to see a high street chain raise awareness of the importance of health being an ‘inside-out’ job. Kombucha also makes a welcome appearance to the menu, offering busy Londoners the chance to give their tummies an extra dose of love in amongst the daily grind.
