From Poo Samples to a Gut Health Revolution with Tim Spector

10 years ago, we handed over our poo to Professor Tim Spector in the name of science. Fast forward a decade and gut health is everywhere. But with all the hype, misinformation and miracle cures doing the rounds, are our guts actually any healthier?

In this episode of Chatting Shit, we're reunited with world-renowned gut health expert Professor Tim Spector to separate the science from the, well, sh*t.

We're digging into everything we've learned about the gut microbiome over the last decade, from why your gut bacteria could be influencing your mood, energy and mental health, to whether probiotics really work, why prebiotics are having their moment, and how long it actually takes to improve your gut health.

Plus, we revisit the experiment that started it all (yes, it involved a LOT of poo), bust some of the biggest gut health myths circulating on social media, and get Tim's take on the simple, science-backed changes that can make a difference.

Think 30 plants a week, fermented foods, more fibre and less falling for gut health BS.

No miracle pills. No restrictive diets. Just a whole lot of gut-loving science, a few questionable memories and plenty of chatting sh*t.

Your microbes are going to want to hear this one.
