(Danny Katz/ Sydney Morning Herald) — A friend lent me a book called Gut by Giulia Enders, saying, “You’ve got to read this, Danny, it changed my life! It’s all about how the gut is the most underrated organ in the body, and it takes you on a journey through the digestive system, from ingestion all the way to excretion.”

But I gave the book a read anyway (though I first wiped it down with a Dettol surface wipe, it’s that kind of book). And it turned out to be pretty interesting: I realised that diet has a huge effect on both your physical and mental wellbeing. (…)
