Onsite education sessions
The Gut Foundation equips Kiwis, through in person workplace and school workshops, with the tools they need to prevent gut disease and take control of their health
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of gut disease globally, with bowel cancer killing more Kiwis than breast and prostate cancers combined. We’re here to change that.

“Thank you for coming to talk to our team about the importance of gut health and knowing your normal. While the topic is not something anyone likes talking about, you made the session fun and engaging while presenting us with the all-important facts, some of which could be lifesaving. It was a good team bonding exercise as we all had a good laugh talking ‘shit’ together!”
Maria Welch H & S Manager
Marsh McLennan
“I wanted to let you know that I received very positive feedback about the session you presented. Our colleagues from other locations who joined via Zoom reached out to me asking for the resources and brochures that you brought with you. Your presentation skills are exceptional, and our colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the session. We would love to work with you again for our future events. I also wanted to thank you for creating a Linked In post about the event. We will definitely promote it further. Thank you again for your excellent work, and I look forward to working with you again.”

What you will learn
1
Sh*t worth talking about
Every day, 9 kiwis ore diagnosed with bowel cancer and 3 die.
90% of bowel cancer is treatable (if you catch it early). Most people lack the knowledge, tools and resources they need to use for preventative health. That’s what we provide during session one of our Gut Health education sessions.
2
Give a sh*t about gut health.
Maintaining a healthy gut protects against diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and various autoimmune conditions. With over 70% of our immune system residing in the gut, it’s clear that gut health is crucial to overall well-being. In this session, we’ll explore how proper gut health can improve physical well-being, boost resilience, and aid recovery from disease.
3
Let that sh*t go
Your brain and gut are connected! Your gut has a direct influence on your sleep, mood and cognition. By understanding of the gut-brain axis, we can unlock pathways to better overall health and ensure our brains remain in optimal condition.
