Can’t sleep? The answer might not be in your bedroom.

It might be in your gut.

Most people treat insomnia as a brain problem. But often, the real conversation is happening between your gut and your nervous system.

Your gut talks to your brain — constantly

Gut bacteria ferment fibre into compounds that directly support serotonin and GABA — the chemicals your brain needs to wind down. When gut bacteria are imbalanced, that signal weakens, and falling or staying asleep gets harder — not because your mind is ”too busy,“ but because the raw materials for calm were never fully delivered.

The vagus nerve is the wire between the two

This nerve is the main line between gut and brain, and its tone depends on gut health. When your gut is inflamed, vagal tone drops — your body stays subtly on alert, even under the covers. That‘s often what unexplained middle-of-the-night waking really is.

Constipation and poor sleep often travel together

Not a coincidence — both point back to the same imbalanced foundation.

So what helps?

Not a supplement before bed. Real support earlier in the day — fermented foods, glycine-rich meals, and dinners that are gentle on digestion so your body isn’t working against itself while it should be winding down.

This is our design principle at P44: every dish is built around gut health first. Our 12-hour bone broth, for example, is naturally rich in glycine — directly linked to calmer sleep and vagal tone.

Sleep doesn‘t start at bedtime. It starts with what you fed your gut hours earlier.

Come eat with us. Come rest better. 🌿

A little rain this morning, then the clouds started to break.

That first patch of sun after rain has its own kind of quiet — cool air, clean light, everything feels a little more awake.

We're back at the cart today, and the kitchen's been going since early. Broth simmering, everything fresh, everything made this morning.

There's something about a spring morning like this — a little rain, a little sun, a little unpredictable — that matches exactly how real food should feel: never the same twice, always made with what the day gives us.

Come find us. We're here. 🌿

Cooking always tells on you.

Our Chicken Salad has been one of the most loved dishes on the cart — organic, clean, packed with flavour. And yet every time Jan tastes it, she says the same thing: “It’s missing something. It needs more oil-shine.”

She’s right, and it took me a while to understand why.

Some cooks are bold by nature — generous with oil, generous with layers of flavour, everything glistening and alive on the plate. Others, like me, tend toward restraint. Precise. Balanced. Correct.

But correct isn’t always the same as irresistible. And the way we cook often says more about who we are than we realise.

So today I revisited the chilli oil — our homemade chilli oil, made with organic cold-pressed olive oil. This isn’t just a condiment. It’s the soul of the dish, the base everything else builds on. I made it bolder, richer, more generous than before.

Our olive oil is organic and cold-pressed — not cheap, which is exactly why I’d been holding back. But some things are worth the extra.

The Free Range Chicken Salad, now with a little more boldness, a little more shine, a little more soul.

Come taste the difference. 🌿

Your skin isn’t a surface problem.

It’s a gut problem.

Acne, eczema, rosacea, premature lines — no matter what you put on them, they keep coming back. Because your skin isn’t talking to your bathroom cabinet. It’s talking to your gut.

Here’s what’s actually happening, layer by layer.

Layer 1 — Your microbiome is your skin’s first mirror
When gut bacteria are out of balance, inflammation rises — and your face is the first place it shows. Fermented foods, prebiotic fibre, live cultures are what this layer needs.
Layer 2 — Undigested protein becomes inflammatory fuel
When digestion is compromised, protein fragments ferment in the wrong place, producing compounds that trigger skin reactions from the inside out.

At P44: 12-hour bone broth, slow-cooked butter chicken, Barra fish — gentle, bioavailable, easy on this layer.

Layer 3 — Chronic inflammation keeps skin in emergency mode
Ultra-processed food, chemical additives, ongoing stress — they keep your immune layer on permanent alert. Your skin, as your largest organ, carries the visible cost.

Layer 4 — Your gut barrier is your skin barrier
Leaky gut and compromised skin barrier are not separate conditions. They are the same condition at different layers of the same system.

This is where collagen actually matters — not as a trend, but as real barrier repair.

Your skin is asking for something.

Not another serum.

One layer deeper. Start there. 🌿

The 12-hour bone broth is ready and still steaming. It has been waiting for you since last night—patient, golden, and quietly extraordinary. This morning, it reached that perfect point where you lift the lid and just stop for a second to take it all in. 🥣
The lamb is on the stove right now, slow-braising in deep spices and broth. The whole kitchen smells like something truly worth coming for.
For something fresh and vibrant, our free-range chicken is being pulled by hand right now for today’s salad. And our Radish Kimchi Salad is freshly mixed—crafted with crisp apple, pear, onion, garlic, our Active Curcumin Elixir, and coconut fish sauce. It is alive, tangy, and perfectly ready to nourish you. 🥗
Everything is made this morning.
Everything is waiting for you.

Food is our medicine🌿

Yesterday, we had a conversation at the our food truck that perfectly captured exactly why we do what we do at Private Kitchen 44.

A mother stopped by to pick up some food and a bottle of our Active Curcumin Elixir. She shared an incredible story about her son, who recently suffered a severe bone fracture and had to be put in a cast.
The original plan from the hospital was a long 14-week recovery in the cast. But during his recovery, he committed deeply to eating clean, gut-friendly foods and consistently taking our Active Curcumin Elixir.
The result? The doctors were absolutely amazed. His fractured bone healed in just about half the expected time!
Stories like this remind us of a fundamental truth: when you stop feeding your body inflammatory ingredients (like seed oils and heavily processed foods) and start giving it bioavailable, anti-inflammatory nutrients , you allow your body to do its most important job. Instead of fighting the food you eat, it redirects all of its energy toward repairing, rebuilding, and healing. ✨

We are so grateful to be a small part of his healing journey. If you need some restorative, functional comfort food to fuel your own body today, our kitchen is fired up and ready for you! 🦋
