#1 GUT HEALTH Doctor: The Shocking Truth About Gut Health (And What to Eat Instead)

It’s becoming harder to ignore: much of what we’ve been taught about food is outdated, oversimplified, or flat-out wrong. In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Tim Spector—renowned epidemiologist, gut microbiome expert, and founder of ZOE—to explore how the bacteria living inside us shape everything from chronic disease and metabolism to mood, menopause, and Alzheimer’s. We dive into why calorie counting fails, why probiotics might be useless, and how your gut could be the root of your brain fog, fatigue, and inflammation. Tim’s work is shaking up nutrition science and forcing us to rethink what “healthy” really means. This conversation will challenge the rules you’ve lived by—and show you how to eat for your biology, not someone else’s. *** I’m Louisa Nicola — clinical neurophysiologist — Alzheimer’s prevention specialist — founder of Neuro Athletics.
