Outside broadcasts used to be particularly tricky for TV presenter Steph McGovern, a long-standing sufferer of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). But a chance interview with a guest on her lunchtime Channel 4 show triggered a personal health revolution – and could now also bring wide health benefits to the North East and other parts of the nation.

The first launched to a packed house in Folkestone this week, and more will hopefully follow soon.
