Our Story

Welcome to the heart of MuttGut – Our Story, the inception of a journey fueled by passion, resilience, and the power of gut health. The Culture Club, a brainchild of Michelle Griffin in 2017, was born from a personal struggle that led to remarkable discoveries in the realm of health and well-being.

Michelle's odyssey began with a life-threatening and rare autoimmune disorder – Myasthenia Gravis, diagnosed in 2009. Faced with this daunting challenge, she embarked on a quest for solutions, exploring both medical interventions and natural remedies. It was during this arduous journey that she unearthed the profound connection between the gut microbiome and immune response.

Years spent in Mexico exposed Michelle to multiple gut infections, necessitating treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics that failed to help. However, an unintended consequence was the decline of her immune health. Her determination and curiosity led her to connect the dots between her gut health and immune condition. In her quest for knowledge, she encountered the groundbreaking work of Dr. Gitte Jensen, PhD, through articles, clinical studies, and published research.

A collaboration of minds ensued, resulting in the creation of an innovative solution for immune management. Michelle and Dr. Jensen co-developed the pioneering 3-in-1 formula – a fusion of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, now known as Urban Flora™, the cornerstone of MuttGut's offerings.

As a devoted animal lover, Michelle extended the benefits of this groundbreaking formula to her beloved pets, witnessing transformative results in their health. This pivotal moment inspired the birth of MuttGut and KittyGut, propelling Michelle's mission to share the gift of gut health with fellow pet owners.

Our story is one of resilience, innovation, and a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing the lives of pets through the transformative power of gut health. Join us on this incredible journey of discovery, healing, and unwavering love for our furry companions.
