There are countless high-end gadgets on the market that biohackers swear can optimize your body to live healthier for longer, but according to Katie Wilson, the 'ultimate biohack' is way cheaper — and tastier.

Bloated? Tired? Irritable? Look no further than your digestive system. 'Honestly, gut health is the secret sauce to everything,' Wilson, the CEO and co-founder of BelliWelli, told The Post.

Studies have even found links between the gut and Parkinson's, colon cancer, and other conditions, with doctors routinely recommending people get more fiber in their diets. That's because fiber doesn't just keep things moving down there — though it certainly does help keep bathroom habits regular. It can also help manage your weight, lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease, and just generally contribute to a longer life. 'You thought fiber was just something that cured constipation, but it's actually one of the most powerful tools we have for our long-term health,' Wilson explained. 4 'Honestly, gut health is the secret sauce to everything,' BelliWelli CEO Katie Wilson told The Post.

Wilson had made it the brand's mission to bring 'a new generation to the fiber aisle' — in other words, they say, this isn't your grandma's fiber supplement. To that end, they've enlisted a lengthy roster of reality TV show and social media stars for viral videos on TikTok and Instagram.

The 'remarkable' Northern Theatre in Hull where stars were made
The once grand church is a shadow of its former self. Weeds grow around the distinctive yellow brickwork and the doors are boarded up. A huge rose window still looks out on to the main road, but several panes are smashed through years of few clues remain that this dilapidated building in Hull helped launch the careers of some household names in the 1980s and 1990s, hundreds of young people spent their Saturdays here at the Northern for many, it was their first taste of the magic of showbusiness. "I remember the smell of the costume room – what felt like thousands and thousands of rows of costumes," Katie Wilson, who still works in the industry, tells the Hidden East Yorkshire podcast. "You could go in and sift through them."I remember the excitement of Saturday mornings, waking up thinking yes, I've got the whole day at Northern Theatre – starting with drama, then musical theatre, improvisation, then a nip down to Boyes's, then a nip down to the sandwich shop... really fond memories."Built in 1880 as the City Temple – a Methodist chapel – the large building at the junction of Hessle Road and Madeley Street has been partly demolished to keep it safe, following a devastating fire in the interiors are gutted, an old sign for Studio 2 – the name of the theatre space – clings to the was here that Richard Green and Bryan Williams found a home for the theatre company they founded some 50 years ago. Andy Pearson, who is now the artistic director of E52 theatre company in Hull, recalls what it was like at the time."It had a small, 40-seat studio theatre downstairs and then there was a larger space upstairs where the bigger dance classes happened," he says. "And then there were a succession of different rooms where you had private drama lessons."Downstairs there was a scene dock for when they would make the big shows at [Hull] New Theatre and Bryan Williams would make these incredible sets."But the real magic of the place was in the freedom it offered young people to do whatever they wanted to do, Andy says. Richard, who was the principal of the company and theatre school until 2008, remembers it as a "joyous place"."The kids really, really loved it," he says. "I keep getting messages from past students saying how important I was to them and how important the school was to them."When things were rough at home – some of them did come from homes that were rough – they found Northern as a refuge."You don't think at the time that you're doing anything out of the ordinary, but obviously you are."He is proud of the many young people who went on to have successful careers in the industry. They include the musician Roland Gift, comedian Lucy Beaumont, actress Sheridan Smith and Derren Little, who wrote Benidorm and The Catherine Tate Show."With Sheridan, I knew from the moment I met her, the moment I saw her, that she was a star," Richard says. "I knew she was going to make it." Northern also gave budding playwrights a place to start. Among them is Richard Vergette, who says he learned his craft recalls being in a production of Pacific Overtures, by Stephen Sondheim, which went up to the Edinburgh Fringe and got a five-star review. "It opened in that tiny space in Madeley Street," he says. "It was an amazing time. "Those of us who had the privilege to work there and to put on theatre there, we're still around, we're still doing it, and I'll always be grateful to Madeley Street for the opportunities it afforded me."It was a remarkable place – unique I think. And so many people owe Northern Theatre, and Madeley Street, a debt of gratitude.

Burien battles over minimum wage
A battle in Burien – over minimum wage. The city just filed a lawsuit claiming that a ballot measure, approved less than three weeks ago by voters, is unconstitutional. At the start of the year, the city's new minimum wage law kicked in at $21.16 an hour for businesses with more than 20 employees. Measure 1, passed earlier this month, would put Burien's minimum wage at $21.10 an hour, regardless of business size, to match with the City of Tukwila. The city referred KIRO 7 to a statement on the city's website, reading in part, 'Understanding that Burien residents, employees, and employers require absolute clarity on Burien's minimum wage law, Burien has asked the superior court to provide guidance. Burien will continue to inform its community about these proceedings.' Katie Wilson with the Transit Riders Union, a group that helped lead the charge for Measure 1, says the lawsuit does not have any merit. 'The city has been trying to mess with the citizen's initiative, really, since the beginning, so we're not surprised that this lawsuit is here but we're confident that we'll prevail,' said Wilson. David Meinert owns Huckleberry Square, a family restaurant with 42 employees. 'I'm all for raising the minimum wage, but most democratic cities in the country that have a high minimum wage also have a tip credit, and Initiative 1 did away with Burien's tip credit – actually lowered the minimum wage for a lot of people and then did away with the tip credit,' said Meinert. He says Measure 1 will force businesses to make unwanted changes. 'We're already planning on raising prices substantially and cutting staff, for sure,' said Meinert. The initiative is set to take effect at the end of March.

Burien Special Election: Minimum wage increase measure close by hundreds of votes
As early results rolled on Tuesday night, a measure in Burien to create a minimum wage increase is leading by several hundred votes. Measure 1A aimed to raise the wage to $21.10 and have future increases tied to inflation, like how Tukwila and other south King County communities have established. The measure would also have a phase-in period for small and local businesses as well as require businesses to offer more hours to part-time employees before hiring new ones. 'This just shows that minimum wages are popular and successful,' said Katie Wilson, an organizer with the Transit Riders Union, who helped in the campaign. By 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 'yes' and 'no' were separated by 441 votes, 54.35% to 46.67%. 'The cost of living in our region is so high and we know that people are struggling to make rent and struggling to put food on the table. I think that people know that people need to make minimum wage and the state minimum wage isn't enough,' Wilson said. The increase comes after the Burien City Council increased the minimum wage, but carved out exceptions for union workers, counted tips toward wages, and, in some situations, counted benefits towards employee's pay. As of Tuesday night, 16.9% of votes had been cast with King County Elections of an expected 33%.
