Food has become a complicated topic - “What are we having for dinner?” “Are you craving anything?” “What do I have time to eat?” “What do we have in the house?” “I’m so tired, but I need something to eat.” “What is within the budget for the family? Groceries? Prepping?” “Can I even HAVE this?”

It is to the point that the thought of food is consuming us more than we would like to effortlessly consume it! The complications add to our stress, which in turn affects our food choices and can pigeonhole us into neglecting what our body needs, opting for convenience and immediately gratifying indulgences. (I’m looking at you casual fast food and snack pastries!) These choices have long term effects on our health in varying ways - bloat, weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue, the “itis”, and deplete our bodies even further, especially our gut. That vicious loop is debilitating and can feel harrowing, especially when there is so much information in the world. Diets, restrictions, allergies, aversions, attempting to pronounce label ingredients; it can all seem so stressful to monitor mentally and emotionally. Thus, and unfortunately, when our brain isn’t happy, our gut isn’t either. Kind of a catch 22, isn’t it? I know… I have been there.

At The Lucky Gut Collective, my culinary objective is to uncomplicate food and bring the kitchen back to the community. From our choices, to our goals and approaches - we want you to know exactly where our food is coming from, which farmer grew it, who bottled it and how it can help you on your personal journey. So come on in! Take a sip of kombucha on our patio, grab a quick protein packed bite, sign up for a cooking class, or stop in for a wellness workshop - The Lucky Gut is here to bring the kitchen back to you, your home and your community as a joyous gut-driven expedition instead of a dreaded stressful complication.
