PROF TIM SPECTOR: 60% OF THE UK’S DIET IS ULTRA PROCESSED

PROF TIM SPECTOR: 60% OF THE UK’S DIET IS ULTRA PROCESSED

It’s the new year, a new series and I’m thinking about making good intentions for 2025 so who better to kick off the year with than Professor Tim Spector - founder of Zoe and leading voice in nutrition to talk to me all about the link between our gut and mental health, his opinion on Ozempic and how eating better really can change our quality of life.


Having received an OBE for his research in the health sector, Tim is a real voice of authority when it comes to the gut microbiome. In this episode, he breaks down the gut-brain connection, explaining how changes to your diet can decrease levels of anxiety and depression, and shares insights from research which potentially show how cohabiting with someone can mean sharing microbes - and even feelings. We also talk about fad-diets, the rise of Ultra Processed Foods and how coffee is actually a health drink!


This conversation reminded me it’s never too late to make the change towards healthier habits and how diet is deeply personal - the key is understand what works for your body
