“What a great way to kick off 2025; we are absolutely delighted to have made it into the Startups 100 for yet another year,” Jon Walsh, co-founder and CEO at Bio&Me, said.
“The demand for credible ‘good for your’ gut health products shows no sign of abating as more consumers reap the benefits of good gut health. And I’m beyond delighted to share that January 2025 has yet again surpassed all expectations, with sales for the month on track for double what they were last year.”

Bio&Me’s gut-loving range now spans granolas, porridges, mueslis, and flapjack oat bars, as well as kefir yoghurts and drinks. Co-founders, Jon Walsh and Dr Megan Rossi, also known as The Gut Health Doctor, joined forces in 2019, on a mission to make good gut health deliciously easy.
The Chester-based business has enjoyed significant growth from the get-go, and the Bio&Me range is now sold in over 38,000 outlets. The business hit £14 million retail sales in 2024.
Dr Megan Rossi, co-founder at Bio&Me, commented: “As a dietitian and a scientist I’m passionate about educating consumers on the importance of looking after their gut health. I was inspired to start Bio&Me to help people discover that they don’t have to sacrifice on taste to look after their gut health. 2024 was our most successful year to date, and we couldn’t have achieved it without the support from our fantastic team, retail partners, and our Bio&Me customers.”
