The Gut Microbiome & Our Wellness: What’s the Connection?

We’ve heard it a million times: ‘You are what you eat.’ As researchers deliver more science about nutrition and how it affects the microbes in our intestinal tract — our gut microbiome — we’re learning that what we eat is key in managing, treating and even preventing health issues from inflammatory bowel disease to carb cravings to mental illness. Dr. Tim Spector, Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at Kings College London, joins me to share his fascinating research on microbes, genetics and diet – and how they’re all connected.LINKS✧ More about + by Tim Spector | www.tim-spector.co.uk✧ Spoon Fed: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told About Food Is Wrong | www.tim-spector.co.uk/spoonfed/✧ The Diet Myth: The Real Science Behind What We Eat | https://www.tim-spector.co.uk/the-diet-myth/✧ FUELED Podcast on Nutritional Psychiatry: Food + Mood | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nutritional-psychiatry-exploring-food-mood/id1459883591?i=1000489309849✧ Priority access to Zoe at-home test kit | https://joinzoe.com/tim [sponsors include www.coastal.com/fueled for 30% off prescription glasses or sunglasses + free shipping, and www.MyBillie.com/FUELED for $9 starter kit + free shipping always] Learn more about your ad choices.
