Know Your Gut is a youth-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit making gut health simple, practical, and easy for students to understand.



Most students aren't given clear, practical explanations of how their body actually works. A lot of information is either too complicated or too generic, which makes it harder to understand what actually matters.
We think understanding your gut is totally possible for everyone! With the right explanations, you can start to see what actually affects how you feel and make small changes that add up over time.
Core topics we explain for beginners
Students reached through early outreach
Articles and learning guides in progress
Student-focused content with simple explanations

We started Know Your Gut because most students are left to figure out their health on their own. We're changing that by making it actually understandable.
Break down complex gut health into clear, simple ideas
Give you a better understanding of your own body
Help you make better decisions day to day

We're building a place where students can actually understand their health without the guesswork.

Real Understanding
Content that helps you connects what you learn to how you actually feel day to day.

Built for Students
Everything is made for your level, your lifestyle, and what you actually deal with.
Know Your Gut was started by a student who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age 12. After having to deal with how confusing health information can be, he wanted to make it easier for other students to actually understand what's going on in their body.
