Disclaimer

Last updated: August 16, 2026

The information and recipes shared on Gut Foodie are based on my own cooking experiences, recipe testing, research, and personal experiences with food and healthy eating. I created this website to share recipes, ideas, and information that I hope will make healthy eating feel more doable, satisfying, and enjoyable.

The content on Gut Foodie is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

Health and Nutrition Disclaimer

I am not a doctor, registered dietitian, or other healthcare professional. Nothing on Gut Foodie is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and the information on this website should not be considered medical or individualized nutrition advice.

Everyone’s nutritional needs and health circumstances are different. Always use your own judgment and talk with a qualified healthcare professional if you have questions or concerns about your health, nutrition, medications, allergies, or dietary needs.

A Note About Nutrition Information

I don’t include calorie counts or nutrition facts with my recipes. My focus is on cooking with whole foods and making meals that feel satisfying and realistic for everyday life.

I used to track nutrition facts, but I realized I was becoming too obsessed with the numbers, and it took the enjoyment out of cooking. That isn’t the approach I want to bring to Gut Foodie.

If nutrition information is important to you, you can calculate it using an online nutrition calculator based on the exact ingredients and portions you use.

Recipes and Food Safety

I test my recipes before sharing them and do my best to provide clear and accurate instructions. However, ingredients, appliances, cooking times, temperatures, and individual cooking methods can vary.

Always use your own judgment when preparing food and follow proper food safety practices. Make sure foods are prepared, cooked, stored, refrigerated, and handled safely.

Some recipes on Gut Foodie include fermented vegetables, pickled vegetables, and kefir. Results can vary depending on ingredients, temperature, equipment, cleanliness, and other conditions. Always follow proper food safety practices when fermenting or pickling food, and never eat anything that appears spoiled or unsafe.

You are responsible for determining whether a recipe, ingredient, preparation method, or finished food is safe and appropriate for you.

Allergies and Dietary Needs

Recipes on Gut Foodie may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, sesame, and other ingredients.

Ingredient substitutions and product recommendations are provided as ideas and may not be appropriate for every allergy or dietary need. Always read product labels and ingredient lists and make choices based on your own needs.

Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content

Gut Foodie may occasionally include affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through one of my affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.

I will clearly disclose affiliate relationships and sponsored content when applicable. Any opinions I share are my own.
