“It's probably someone who's prepared to go fifty fifty on all the chores in the house at the moment, I think. Masculinity is going through a tough time at the moment. And I think realize there is a revolution going on. So I think it's definitely about being flexible. And losing a lot of those stereotypes and going with a flow, that's what I would advise him.”

“You can't go wrong if you do things that are going to be good for your gut microbes. And so thinking on behalf of your gut microbes or your pets, as you call them, think what would they want to eat? How would they want you to behave? And if you do that, you're going to be eating all the right things and avoiding all the bad things. And all the rest generally follows. I think that's the simplest advice I can bear. And, you know, realizing that when you eat food, you're not alone. You've got these trillions of microbes there waiting for your every move and your choice.”

“We're seeing things that we've never seen before. We've discovered 4,000 new species of microbe just in the last few months. Each of these could be totally novel or useful for therapeutics or diagnostics. We found things like this parasite, the blastocystis. We're finding links with new foods that we could start to give people advice on about which foods to eat to improve which microbe. As we go forward in the future, we'll be able to perhaps predict microbe combinations that look like they might prevent cancer and heart disease or interact with your medications to make antidepressants more effective or hormone replacement treatment more effective. So I think it's all happened so fast and it's just incredible that the response that we've had, Zoe and the people are all confident.”

“our pets are getting as obese as we are. They're getting diabetes, they're getting chronic diseases, they're getting arthritis. And I think there is some evidence, I'm not sure how good it is, that if you convert them to whole food diets, whole meats, just eating the same that we might be eating or eating our scraps, they will do better. So maybe you should try that.”

“Before we started Zoe, I did think of doing a dog dog microbiome map my pet project and I did look into this but I'm not up to date on it but there's lots of evidence that the pellets I used to give our dogs which I thought were great are the equivalent of ultra processed foods just like you said and that dogs who are given whole foods live longer and have less diabetes, put on weight less and are much healthier. So I believe that the same thing that applies to humans applies to dogs. The canned stuff that smelled horrible as they still use that but we were told that the pellets were healthier and because they contained all these extra vitamins and it was this concentrated source that was perfect for them. And if you look at it it's exactly the same as ultra processed food.”

“Yes, as long as it doesn't become a professional. Because some people So, you know, people listening, I think these are often good ideas, but again, if you go over the 80 20 rule, because you can get obsessed about anything, whether it's exercise, it's training, it's sleeping, and then you get anxious about it if you don't do it every day. So realize it's important, but realize some things are more important than your schedule, okay? And things like friends and having fun and, you know. Absolutely crucial, and this is all part of our philosophy we've been trying to build with Zoe is about food is about enjoyment and we mustn't break it down to mathematical formulas all the time. We've got to realize that life is important to do everything. And we can all have a day off.”

“Absolutely, yeah. All the studies are pointing to that. So I used to think like you, that, yeah, you know, when I was going to the US or whatever, the most important thing was to get out there and get in the sunlight and whatever and not worry about my meals and just eat. Because when I'm jet lagged, I was always hungry anyway. But now, you know, really focusing on fasting and trying to eat at the time of the time zone you're trying to fit into is much more important than sunlight. So yeah meal timings are increasingly important in science and I think this is one of the really new exciting areas. And it all fits in with this idea of getting your rest periods really well worked out, your activity periods, not messing them up, not eating when you're supposed to be resting and not doing things out of sync. And so the people that do deal with time changes and jet lag generally.”

“Generally as Euphana, our body likes a consistent pattern of activity and rest. So going to sleep at the same time, waking up the same time is really good for your body. You feel better and nourished. Now, if people are, say, changing by a couple of hours, hour and a half, two hours at the weekends, they're sleeping later and waking up later, this affects also their sugar responses and their gut microbes. So we know that this consistency of approach is really important for everything in your body. Now, it doesn't mean I don't want to tell people they should never go out or party because social networking is very fun. But just think of that in mind, particularly if it's in your control and it's just, you know, watching another Netflix movie because it's the weekend may not be the smartest thing to do if you want to feel really.”

“It upsets all of your metabolism, right? So, as you were saying, I feel better after a good night's sleep. Your body's metabolism is also different. So a disrupted night's sleep means that your body will overreact to sugar. You're more likely to have a sugar dip after it and feel tired. And you're more likely to feel hungry and crave more carbohydrates after a bad night. And I think most people listening will think of that. So yeah, if a really rotten night's sleep, you sort of get up and your body craves something to help you through this, you know? Everything is out of sync, and people who are sleeping poorly will have”

“So, in the future, I'd like to see us getting nearly zero alcohol wines. And they are coming. And I tasted some from Canada, et cetera, where you can get like a 1% wine that you can't, 1%, by the way, seen kombuchas. You can't metabolize it, you don't notice it. And if they have all those benefits, they could be that new era of actually healthy alcohols. And there might be some ciders as well because they've got the skin of the apple. But virtually all the other alcohols have no real health benefits.”

“There are some drinks that are healthier than others, and red wine is one that's been shown to reduce by about thirty percent your risk of a heart disease in most studies, and it's not absolutely clear cut. But if you drink too much, it actually goes bad again for you. So it's really quite a small window. And there might be some other drinks in the future that might be healthy. And this comes back to plants, because when you're drinking wine, you're drinking fermented grapes, right? So the alcohol was bad, fermented grapes are good.”

“But he certainly don't need it. Okay, so. Most of the studies are pretty consistent, say that the more alcohol you drink, the more your chances of all kinds of diseases and problems. There are Some exceptions to that. That comes down often to Mediterranean effect people who drink a glass or two of red wine do seem to have less heart disease. But they won't be protected from other conditions, so they won't be protected from cancers or some strokes, etc. And lifespan is sort of unclear in that particular group. So in general, alcohol is bad for you. No doubt. And so if you don't drink, I don't think I would say to you, Stephen, you're wrong. You need to start drinking red wine. But for those people who do drink or drink occasionally small amounts, all I would say to you is”

“So, what do you do? Do you promote supplements and say, don't worry about your diet, which is what the marketing companies want and the vitamin companies want? They want us to forget the diet, keep the ultra processed food stuff coming, keep it all coming, guys. This junk food, no real whole foods, no plants, no fruits, that's fine. You guys are going to need some vitamins. And that may be true for people on very poor diets, you know, only eat food. Maybe they do need some supplements. But I think there's no evidence, however, there is very little evidence that people who do take supplements are any healthier than people who don't take supplements. So you could say people say, oh, it's like an insurance policy. I'm taking this insurance policy. Therefore, that's a good reason to take multivitamins, etc. And I've heard that said even from some epidemiologists and doctors.”

“My field of osteoporosis that taking vitamin D and calcium actually prevents osteoporosis or bone disease, although for years and years and years we thought it did, but all the big studies now show that's not true. If you take calcium, all the studies are suggesting that not only does it now have any benefit in terms of bone or muscle health, but it can adversely affect your heart. So because the calcium you get in capsules or supplements, you're taking one big lump of it at a time rather than getting it in your green vegetables which would be slowly broken down and absorbed in your gut in ways that your body can deal with. So you're getting this, it's like someone injecting it into your vein.”

“Yes, Lighter skin evolved as a mutation as humans came out of Africa in order to survive in lower sunlight areas. So naturally whiter skinned people have they're less protection against the sun, but they have a better vitamin D production system. So generally darker skin have more problems. So I used to see many patients and often they don't go in the sun either because culturally they cover themselves up and so that's a problem. So there definitely are people who can take benefit from taking some of these vitamin. I'm not saying that at all but the idea that everybody should be taking them is just madness. There's no evidence that”

“They would be. And that's why for most people, it doesn't work. Now, I know people got upset last year, but it Some people it does work. And this is probably there's a different response. We don't all respond to exercise with appetite signals exactly the same way. But for as many people it did work, there are people that made them actually put on weight. Do you see what I mean? That's why the studies show no difference. So you always find someone who writes, you say, Stephen, this guy's an idiot because I did this and I lost 10 kilos. But exactly someone else will say, I did this and I gained 10 kilos. And I thought I was doing the right thing. So the point is you can't rely on it. And it's when there's something obviously modifiable like your diet. It's so easy. We've got so much choice now and what to eat. We're not forced to eat ultra processed foods or low fat this or whatever. We can make those choices. We should be doing that, not trying to say, am I lucky?”

“Exercise is a, I'm not Nokia XI, I exercise every day. I love it. It's great for my brain and my heart and everything else and reduces lots of diseases. But people have got to separate that from weight loss if we're going to make any progress here. And if you've got too much excess fat on your body, exercise alone is a terrible way to deal with it because you like saying, I'm not going to deal with my diet. I'm just going to run it off in the gym and keep taking my supplements and do everything else. And what happens for most people is that their metabolism slows down. The signals of hunger increase. After exercise Psychologically, people think, oh, well, I've done some exercise, I've burnt off those calories. You know, I can have that doughnut or whatever. And so subconsciously they're also maybe snacking slightly more.”

“Yes, lots of studies have done and said people are trying to lose weight conventional by conventional means. We're not talking the Zoe method, but the old-fashioned ways of calorie restriction or changing to keto diets or whatever it is. And if those people are put on exercise or no exercise at the same time, does it help them? And generally, it doesn't. And if you do exercise alone, then there's no evidence. As many people gain weight as lose weight on exercise. So you think, why is that? Well, if you think it through,”

“It's the same way if you do exercise it makes you hungrier. We have this inbuilt mechanism. That's why the only drugs methods at work are these drugs like Azempic, Wigovi, that act on the appetite. They act on the brain. It's from the gut sends a signal to the brain, switches off the appetite signal. Otherwise You just reduce calories or you increase exercise, that appetite signal is just going right up there. And you can carry on resisting it for a while. Most people have tried this. They know, and it gets harder and harder every week. And then suddenly you crack and then you say, oh, I've given up now. I'm back, and often you swing above it. Yeah, and that yo-yoing is probably the worst thing you can do because it just makes your, you know, you've got no consistency.”

“They're eating, and there's good evidence that people that follow a program where they are not focusing on calories, but they are focusing on food quality. They're looking at their sugar peaks, they're looking at their fat levels, they're looking at their gut microbes, they are looking at the time of day they're eating, they're looking at how to eat just thoughtfully and not talking about fat levels and avoiding all these foods that we've been talking about, they will consistently lose small amounts of weight. Not large amounts, but small consistent amounts that don't make them more hungry. And the key is do things that don't make you hungrier. The reason calorie restriction doesn't work is our evolution tells us to ramp up the appetite, the hunger signal.”

“You'll gain muscle, you lose weight, you know, it's easy. Evidence is very clear that if you restrict calories, you will lose weight, but 80% of people regain it pretty quickly and will actually go over the other end if they haven't changed their diet in terms of quality and taking care of.”

“Yeah. Well, obesity experts don't. So it may be fine in gyms to talk about that. That's old science. We now know that this calorie model, from a practical point of view, is completely broken because we've been not talking about the quality of food, the structure of food, all these different effects, these inter-individual effects that we're talking about, meaning that counting calories is, for vast majority of people, impossible or meaningless. So it's, and it's the marketing and the companies who are selling us these low calorie products, this idea that it's really simple, all you've got to do is X, Y, and Z, you'll lose weight. That's what we're fighting here, and they may have influenced, you know, the gyms with their special drinks and programs and people wanting the crash course of come in here, you'll lose all this.”

“They've done actual studies on this to show that, yes, consumers like it, so like you probably like that feel of being fresh and doing something and having a tang in the mouth a bit like a tangy chewing gum as well, a mint or there's something nice in the brain that says this is good. But if you do it too much, you start to destroy your natural defense mechanism. Microbes in your tongue and your saliva are there to fight off other bugs and you're more likely to get overgrowth for the wrong ones and you may actually end up a worse smelling breath long term than if you weren't using these chemicals.”

“You know, you have this initial hit, which often the mouthwashes are similar in a way to that sort of instant gratification of the chewing gum because it feels fresh and tangy in your mouth, but you're often killing off the good guys that are protecting your mouth. And the worry I have is about this sweetness is it's sensitizing you to want more sweet foods. So it probably make you hungrier for more carb foods later in the day. So I don't think there's anything particularly bad about chewing gum per se, other than if people chew a lot of it, it's sugary. It will give you more dental decay. The artificial sweeteners are probably worse because they're having a negative effect on the gut micro, on all the microbes from your mouth down to your gut.”

This artificial ones, they're all shown to reduce your natural gut microbes and actually cause more problems so that you're more prone to infections and actually more prone to get overgrowth of bad microbes, giving you bad breath.”

I've lived with the Hadza tribe for a week, and they ate a lot of vegetables and fruits and berries and nuts and seeds, and they still meat is a treat, and three months a year they have no meat because it's hard to catch, but they've got all this other stuff. So the idea that it's natural, that's what we did, is really wrong. And some people might feel better briefly. You know, there's a difference between how people respond to fats particularly and carbs. So you might lose a bit of weight. A lot of that's actually, they've done some studies showing people on high keto, high-fat protein diets. A lot of it is water.”

Are you against meat? And I've sort of changed, I flipped on this as the evidence has changed. I'm definitely against processed meats, ultra-processed meats, which are low quality stuff put together in ready meals, etc. You'd be much better off just having mushrooms or beans instead of that mixed with it, a vegetarian version of it. But real high quality meat in small amounts, nothing really wrong with it as long as you have enough space on the rest of the plate to make up for it.”

And if that salad is high fiber nutritious, it's got plenty of good things in it, herbs, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Or, you know, a tiny bit of ketchup or whatever. You know, I'd still be saying, yeah, you can try something else instead of those. But don't get hung up about it.”

“What do you have most of the time? Should you be swapping that for something just as tasty or nice or a mixture of things? But get out of that rut just because someone told you that, you know, bananas has potassium in it and make you play tennis better. You know, it was, it's that kind of mindset that we really need to change.”

“Really lots of sugar and they're not great for us. My score was about 30 or something. So I still have them occasionally because I enjoy them occasionally, but I don't have them every day like I used to. So I now swap them out for pears. We have some great pears in this country and they're always good apples. And again, I'll have my berries if I've got them. And kiwi fruits. I had to also give up grapes. I used to eat lots of grapes and I used to love them, but get huge sugar spike with grapes, which I know then, you know, would make me hungrier for the rest of the day. And I have them as a treat. You know, might have some grapes once a month. They're still fine. So I think we should never say I'll never have those again. It's just like, what's your staple?”

“Well, I scored him worse than you. You'd be pleased to know so. I used to eat lots of bananas and it was a thing you just put in your backpack, comes at its own packaging, you know, have it when you want I thought this is super healthy because I've seen Roger Federer eat lots of bananas, you know, he seemed pretty fit. And that's why we associated with the marketing thing, oh, lots of potassium, you know, must be good for us.”

“Reasonable, but it would vary depending on what I was taking, what fruits, what vegetables. And yeah, I would have fruit afterwards”

“Galilettus or a grated cabbage, I would throw whatever happened in the fridge in there, and I would add some protein to it, so I would add some beans. I always keep cans of beans around. They cost nothing, they're huge source of fiber and protein. Tip those in, there might be lentils, they might be chickpeas, might be standard mixed beans. And I put them in, if I had some cheese, I might chop that up, might put a bit of mozzarella in there, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. That'd be it. And if I'd had some sauerkraut or something, I might have that on the side, a bit of ferment, and increasingly recently since I've been doing more research in this, I might make my salad dressing actually with some fermented milk, some kefir. So you're actually getting probiotics added to that. If I'm on my own, in a hurry, that's probably what”

“I mean, it all varies. I think I don't want to give the idea I'm always having the same lunch because I do try and vary it. If I'm on my own working, I'm not with friends or whatever, it would be a fairly quick affair and it would probably be a salad. And I would.”

“I mean, just think about it. Well, you know We've been involving for millions of years and you know you can't live long without water. So clearly we have a pretty good mechanism we've inherited to tell us when we need to drink water and when we don't. And I just think that's, again, marketing concept or the soft drink, all this rehydration, these electrolytes, all this stuff. It's largely nonsense. And it's just, again, like the protein marketing idea is that, and we're very susceptible to it because we like a quick fix or, and there'll be a few people that say, I feel better when I drink lots of water. Sure, you know, but the idea that we're so out of control that, you know, someone needs to bring us water every hour is madness, and that there isn't this variation.”

“The big companies, the Cokes, the Pepsi's are moved into the water business and they're trying to sell everyone plastic bottled water, which is terrible for the planet. The idea that we're all deprived of hydration and having all kinds of problems with it is really made up. There's no hard evidence at all. And if you look at doctors who work on marathons, they see that far more people die or have health problems from overhydrating in the marathon race than dehydrating. So the human body is really good at some things. You think about our ancestors, they kind of knew when you were thirsty, right? It's like, hang on, this is quite a, you know, and the idea that, oh, we've got no idea if we're thirsty or not, we need to be eating, you know, have a stopwatch to tell us to drink every hour on the hour. It's obviously nonsense when you think about it.”
