In this episode of the Mind Gut Conversation podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tim Spector, an internationally renowned expert in microbiome science and personalized nutrition, as well as an acclaimed author.

He is a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London and honorary consultant physician at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ National Health System Foundation Trust.

He founded TwinsUK in 1992, one of the richest collections of clinical data in the world. He is the lead researcher behind the world’s biggest citizen science health project – the Covid Symptom Study app, and is the scientific co-founder of the company ZOE.
