While working as a corporate lawyer, Louise experienced chronic stress, which had a horrible impact on her gut. She knew that she had to do something about it and went on a journey of research that led her to discover the vital role that gut health plays in all aspects of our overall health, including mental wellbeing. It floored her that the bacteria in our guts could have such a significant impact on pretty much all of our bodily functions, and she became determined to change the reputation of bacteria by redefining how we think and feel about gut health. Louise created JERMS to bring gut-friendly probiotics to the masses, boosting both health and happiness.
