⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(7/10)
Director: Anjali Nayar
(Netflix)

With Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut you have to choose your words carefully, because the documentary is about a controversial topic: exactly what happens in your digestive system and afterwards!

Why make a documentary about it? Because many people can’t lose weight… Sound familiar? Or suddenly get stomach aches and indigestion, apparently for no reason. Or their bathroom habits are irregular or even unnatural and difficult.

If these euphemisms sound familiar, they may Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut be of help because it obviously explains that what you eat can affect your life.

Did you know that your gut communicates with your brain and that Brussels sprouts are about the healthiest food you can eat? Avocados too, of course, and what about that greasy chicken you love to eat for lunch at the office?

However, there is a solution for certain ailments. What it is, and believe me, you’ll be clapping your hands over your mouth if you have to know, you have to see to believe. Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut takes you to places you might not always want to be taken and gives interesting advice about things you never realized you knew.
