We spend more than 2 HOURS every day thinking about food: what to eat, when to eat and what we’re craving next… But how often do we stop to ask, is this actually what my body needs? And more importantly, how is my diet affecting the way I feel? Professor Tim Spector is the co-founder of the ZOE health app and one of the world’s leading experts in gut health. His groundbreaking research has completely transformed the way we understand food. In this Great Moment, he breaks down the powerful connection between our gut and brain, explaining how simple dietary changes can help lower levels of anxiety and depression.
