How Loving Your Gut Could Save the Planet!
With humour, warmth and authority, Cara reveals how gut health isn’t just about digestion — it’s about leadership, performance, clarity, and resilience.
Her TEDx talk reframes food as a lever for cultural and systemic transformation, offering science-backed strategies to radically improve personal wellbeing, workplace engagement and planetary health.
In a world where burnout is rising, mental health is declining, and productivity is often prioritized over wellbeing, Cara Wheatley-McGrain delivers a powerful wake-up call: the fire we need to address is inside us — chronic inflammation, fuelled by modern stress and ultra-processed lifestyles.
