Would love to hear!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2020 has been a timely wake-up call that we&#8217;re living in a microbial-dominated world. When treated well, they can be amazingly powerful for our health. Now really is the time to prioritise looking after our guts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gratitude for the small things. I&#8217;ll cherish daily walks and the buzz of local bakeries and shops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;re more resilient than we might think, mentally and physically (for which we owe a lot to our gut bugs! )<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Newfound love for Zoom, FaceTime and Skype keeping us connected especially during the most difficult times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Going through the first trimester of pregnancy and writing a secret project are ideal activities for a lockdown!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s been amazing to see everyone come together and support frontline workers. Let&#8217;s make sure the gratitude and respect for the NHS stays!

Isolation Constipation is real!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be kind to each other. Everyone is dealing with their own &#8216;stuff&#8217;, most of which is not apparent to others. Relationship breakdowns, job-loss, mourning a death, important event cancellations, health diagnoses, infertility&#8230;just to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sadly fear too often gets in the way of the science and we can&#8217;t let it.
