DR.VEGAN Launches ‘Gut Punch’ Campaign to Tackle Gut Health Crisis in the UK

A staggering 60% of Brits are struggling with gut health issues, highlighting a nationwide crisis that demands urgent attention. Ethical nutrition brand DR.VEGAN has launched the ‘Gut Punch’ campaign to raise awareness and provide consumers with the knowledge and tools to improve their gut health.

Why Gut Health Matters More Than Ever

Gut health is fundamental to overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion and immunity to mental health and sleep. Yet, according to DR.VEGAN’s research, awareness and education on the topic remain critically low.

Co-founder Gordon Lott emphasises the urgent need for change:
“Modern diets are packed with ultra-processed, high-fat, sugary, and salty foods, contributing to record levels of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal conditions, poor sleep, and chronic stress. Despite gut health being the control center of our well-being, education on how to support a healthy gut is shockingly poor—and we want to change that.”

The Gut Health Education Gap

A recent 300-person survey by DR.VEGAN revealed that:

• 86% of respondents expect GPs to be trained in nutrition.
• 89% believe doctors should offer nutrition advice as an alternative to medication.

However, most UK medical schools provide less than two days of nutrition training, meaning many healthcare professionals lack the expertise to give tailored dietary advice.

Introducing the DR.VEGAN ‘Gut Health’ Hub

To address this knowledge gap, DR.VEGAN has launched an interactive ‘Gut Health’ online hub, designed to educate and empower individuals to take control of their gut health. The hub covers:

• The gut’s role in overall health.
• Signs of poor gut health.
• The impact of diet on digestion.
• Understanding bowel movements and their health implications.
• The benefits of probiotics and prebiotics.

Shona Wilkinson, a registered nutritionist at DR.VEGAN, explains: “Gut health influences 70% of the immune system, mood, energy levels, sleep, and even skin and hair health. While new research continues to emerge, we already know that what we eat has the biggest impact on our gut microbiome.”

How to Improve Gut Health

Making small, consistent dietary and lifestyle changes can significantly enhance gut health.

Key steps include:

• Eating a diet rich in fibre, whole foods, and probiotics.
• Reducing intake of processed foods, sugar, and artificial additives.
• Staying hydrated and managing stress levels.
• Understanding gut health indicators, such as bowel movement patterns.
