  • Love this podcast. It's based in science, it covers a very wide range of topics. It is a bit pushy on their Daily 30 product but that's ok. It's advice has changed my life.

  • Used to be good

    This podcast started off being informative. Now it’s just one big advert for daily 30. The latest podcast for 5 nutrition changes regarding subjects who followed the Zoe way for 6 weeks was a complete waste of listening time, and again just an advert for their own product.

  • Extremely harmful content.

    Absolutely awful. Fasting to such extremes? No, explicitly describing an eating disorder. Unbelievably toxic and harmful. People end up in hospital by fasting in this way over time. I worry for the impressionable people listening to this, who are predisposed to eating disorders such an Anorexia, or have a history of the illness. If anyone is listening to this, particularly with a history of an eating disorder please know that eating breakfast, alongside your 3 meals a day and snacks is essential... more

  • Not realistic

    I’ve listened to most of the Zoe podcast, I’ve taken lots of advice about gut health and good nutrition so it’s not been a waste. However, no one, unless you’re obsessed, have all the time and money in the world can live a life as clean as Zoe. Your app and products are not for normal working class people as they are way too expensive and yet it’s those very people who need your help the most. Listening to your podcast can give me anxiety because I think my body must be so damaged with the foods... more

Why you can't stop eating: The science of cravings, food addiction and 5 ways to regain control | Michael Pollan & Prof Tim Spector
Q: What can individuals do to reintroduce plants into their diet without feeling overwhelmed?
Start small with cooking one additional day per week, focus on mostly plants, and gradually increase plant diversity and fermentation while paying attention to labels to avoid ultra-processed ingredients.
10 million deaths predicted but science is fighting back! The secret gut viruses that attack cancer, fight infection and slow aging | Prof Martha Clokie & Prof Tim Spector
Q: Why are phages considered a potential cancer treatment delivery system?
Because the surface of phages can be engineered to recognize cancer cells and deliver payloads directly to them, potentially reducing collateral damage to healthy tissue.
10 million deaths predicted but science is fighting back! The secret gut viruses that attack cancer, fight infection and slow aging | Prof Martha Clokie & Prof Tim Spector
Q: Could the viruses in our gut help keep our microbiome healthy?

10 million deaths predicted but science is fighting back! The secret gut viruses that attack cancer, fight infection and slow aging | Prof Martha Clokie & Prof Tim Spector

Most replayed moment: Ice Baths: Science or Fad? | Susanna Søberg & Prof Tim Spector
Q: Should people pair cold exposure with sauna for maximum benefit?
You don't have to combine them; alternating extremes still provides vascular benefits, while pairing can enhance the stimulus for certain adaptations, depending on individual tolerance and goals.
