Description

Are you eating high-protein but still feel tired, moody, or bloated? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tim Spector to talk about why gut diversity and food quality matter more than macros alone. We dive into how to build a microbiome-friendly breakfast, an easy way to approach time-restricted eating, and the truth about fermented foods, fiber, and “gut-healthy” sodas. Dr. Spector also breaks down how 30 plants a week + 3 fermented foods a day can boost your mood, balance blood sugar, and supercharge your immune system. Get ready to rethink what a healthy plate really looks like and rebuild your gut from the inside out.
