Is my gut healthy?

Welcome to your gut health journey.

When starting out, it’s important to understand the current state of your gut health. But, unlike many other organs like our heart or kidney function, there is currently no single tool to assess gut health. That is why Dr Megan Rossi (PhD, RD, APD) has created a gut health quiz. Developed based on hundreds of research papers underpinning the science of gut health, our quiz will give you a good sense of your own gut health and the key areas worth focusing on.

Take the quiz to get a score out of 20 and some practical next steps.

"*" indicates required fields

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
How often are you bothered by gut symptoms, e.g. bloating, reflux, constipation?*
Do you take any regular medication or over-the-counter medicines, including the contraceptive pill?*
Do any health conditions run in your family, e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure?*
How many different plants do you eat each week? (this is your plant points score: each different vegetable, fruit, wholegrain, legume, nut or seed counts as one point, herbs and spices count as a ¼)*
Are you cutting out any of these plant groups for any reason other than a diagnosed medical condition?*
In an average week, how would you describe your mood?*
How often are you unwell, e.g. with colds and flu?*
How many hours of sleep do you get a night on average?*
How often are you negatively impacted by stress?*
How often do you exercise (for at least 30 minutes) to a level where you’d become short of breath if you tried to sing?*

Shelley's transformation story

I experienced digestive issues including acid reflux, constant nausea and indigestion for about a decade and was diagnosed with IBS in 2017…From watching interviews with Megan, following her on social media and reading her book – her mantra ‘INclusion not EXclusion’ has really stuck with me…After increasing my plant points, I feel so much happier, I’m sleeping better and I’m thriving! It feels so good to be able to enjoy life again.
