#150: How to Stay Well This Winter: Gut Health, Immunity & Fermented Foods — with Amanda Ryder

Polly Warren

As we move deeper into winter, it’s easy to start feeling just a bit... off.

Tired. Foggy. A little more emotional than usual. Maybe like you’re running on empty — even when you're technically doing “all the right things.”

If that’s you, you’re not alone — and this week’s podcast episode is here to help.

I’m joined by the brilliant Amanda Ryder, a registered nutritional therapist who specialises in women’s health over 40 — and we’re diving into one of the biggest keys to your energy, immunity, mood and overall resilience this season:

👉 Your gut.

In this conversation, Amanda shares calm, clear, practical tips for supporting your microbiome this winter — including how to start with fermented foods (even if you’ve never tried), how to spot when your gut needs some love, and how to stay well through the colder months without overcomplicating things.

We also talk about:

  • the connection between gut health and stress
  • how your immune system really works in winter
  • easy changes you can make today to feel better tomorrow

This episode is packed with gold — especially if you’re someone who’s navigating the juggle of midlife and just wants to feel like yourself again.
