Second Brain

Your gut is your second brain 🧠 Eat your way to better mood, energy, and brainpower with simple, science-backed tips on the gut microbiome and nutrition. Second Brain is written by Dr Emily Leeming PhD MSc RD, registered dietitian, microbiome scientist at King’s College London, TEDx speaker, author, and former chef (that’s me, hello, hi!). I love writing about science and nutrition in a way that's simple and practical, and always keeping flavour and the joy of eating in mind too - thanks to my past as a chef. After all, there’s nothing sadder than an unloved bowl of dressing-less salad leaves, or thinking of all the things you ‘can’t have’. Instead, let’s focus on what to ‘add-in’ instead. I also write for the Daily Mail and Women’s Health magazine, and in 2024 my first book Genius Gut was published.
