Reviews from our store
Brilliant research
Easy to consume content, very well explained
Information great, camera work distracting
I love the information presented. Yet it’s distracting to watch the video where the camera switches view points every few seconds, sometimes every other word. Sometimes I have to close my eyes and listen.
Super useful
Great material and recommendation .Lost of info you can use in your everyday.
Great practical course
Given the complexity of identifying specific gut-related issues and overlaps between many of them, this course does a great job of providing practical information that helps. It helps to sift through the symptoms, helps by pointing out tests that might be useful in identifying the precise problem, helps by explaining not only the science behind what's happening but also the "so what" of it - dietary guidelines, behavioral changes that might be worth trying etc. And, on top of all that, Dr. Olli personally answers comments on the platform to help apply what one learns in the course to personal situations/experiences. These mini-consultations brought enormous added value for me in this course. Thank you, Dr. Olli!

Why gut health matters
Dr. Sovijärvi on why the gut is the place to start, and what changes when it is working.
The course
Find the perfect balance for your gut
Optimize Your Gut is one of the most comprehensive and effective science-based gut optimization courses available to date. Dr. Olli Sovijärvi, M.D. built the seven weeks on the Pareto principle: the 20 % of the information that produces at least 80 % of the results, so you do not have to work that out yourself.
You will acquire the basic knowledge and tools to identify and self-treat the most common bowel problems, along with a great deal of information about the most typical antinutrients in foods, the intestinal microbiota and microbiome, leaky gut syndrome, the normal functioning of the digestive system, and how stress affects the gut.
When the gut is in good overall balance and the intestinal ecosystem is in shape, the rest of the body can generally do well too, maintaining health and mental alertness.

Curated by a medical doctor
The Greek physician Hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut. I have had gut issues in my life myself, and as a doctor, fixing the gut has become a priority for me. I am happy that this course has already helped over 5000 people to understand and overcome their gut issues.
