In My Kitchen this week I am joined by Professor Tim Spector.
Tim Spector is a leading expert in epidemiology at King’s College London and the co-founder of ZOE, a pioneering nutrition science company focused on advancing our understanding of gut health. He is also a highly regarded author, known for bestselling books including The Diet Myth, Spoon-Fed, Food for Life, Food for Life Cookbook, and Ferment. Recognised for his significant contributions to science, including his work during the Covid-19 pandemic for which he was awarded an OBE, Tim is widely considered one of the foremost authorities in his field. A trailblazer in microbiome research, he is also ranked among the top 100 most-cited scientists globally.
I was honoured to be joined by Tim and in this episode, Tim and I break down his eight key principles for eating well and living a healthier life, sharing practical insights grounded in the latest scientific research.
Beyond the fundamentals of nutrition, we also explored some of social media’s most talked-about trends, from seed oils and ultra-processed foods to sardines, veganism, and the carnivore diet, cutting through the noise to uncover what the science really says.
Finally, we delved into a topic that is incredibly personal to me: the connection between food and cancer, and how the choices we make every day can support longevity and long-term health.
