Written by Dr Lucy Williamson—Registered Nutritionist and former vet—this practical handbook offers clear, evidence-based advice rooted in the vital connection between soil, food, and gut health. It’s designed for busy people who want simple, actionable guidance without jargon.

Lucy combines her lifelong passion for nature and health with scientific clarity to help you eat well, feel better, and make choices that support both personal wellbeing and the planet. Whether you’re a parent, professional, student, or simply someone who cares about good food and sustainability, this book will empower you to thrive.

Accessible, engaging, and packed with farmers' stories, case studies and practical tips, Soil to Gut is your go-to guide for navigating food with confidence—and reconnecting with the story behind what’s on your plate.

Regenerative thinking from agriculture to abdomen!

-- Ian Wilkinson, Founder & Director, FarmED

A timely addition to the fast-moving narrative on nutrition and health. Lucy Williamson explores the vital missing part of the story - the role of soil microbes. It seems we cannot achieve vibrant health unless we're part of a fully-functioning ecosystem with fertile soil at its heart. This makes farmers the nation's number one health providers.

-- Graham Harvey, author of Killing the Countryside and Underneath The Archers

Highly recommend

This is a lovely book - clearly set out so that even a layperson like me can understand it. I am interested in the impact food has on our health, and this book demonstrates in an easily read and informative way, exactly how food does that. The book also highlights the links between the growing environment of food, and the subsequent impact on our health through eating that food. There are tasty recipes at the end, together with a guide to in season foods. I am definitely making better choices when food shopping, and trying to eat what Lucy has recommended to manage some of my health conditions. The book would make a great stocking filler for anyone with an interest in these subjects! I highly recommend it.


This Nutritionist Approves

Lucy has a great way of explaining the principles of nutrition and how our modern farming methods have led to not just the destruction of our planet, but also could be the root of many modern disorders. How soil regeneration relates to gut health is the central theme, via clear and concise, evidence-based writing. The best bit about the book is its optimism on all fronts and this is borne from Lucy's extensive experience on farms and with clients as a nutritionist herself. Really couldn't recommend this enough!


A really beautiful book!
