Episode notes

Most people believe that probiotics in yogurt get killed by your stomach acid. But you're ingesting billions, so always enough get through to have an effect. We've actually lost half of the good ones compared to if you go to hunter-gatherers or I spent some time with the Hadza tribe in Africa. And they have twice the number of species that we have because they don't pop antibiotics.

What if everything that you knew about health was wrong, if calories didn’t count and food labels lied? That is exactly what Tim Spector OBE says in his multiple books, innumerable articles and TV appearances. Following the ancient greek belief that food is medicine, Tim has made it his mission to let people know how central gut health is to overall health, affecting your immune system, energy and even mental health. In this essential conversation, Tim discusses everything you need to know for your health, from eating the rainbow to fasting, this episode will change the way that you look at food and diets forever.
