Please consider interviewing Elliot Overton on his work on Thiamine. It's ground breaking.
DO NOT stop exercising, it has a MAJOR effect on your physical & mental wellbeing, if one goes the other will also go and u will hit a slump and binge eat and drink again. Consistency is key.
Exercise alleviates the problem of eating poorly. Do we need a lot of it to live long, No. You need to lower those things which cause damage. How do I know this? Mary Ruddick has lived it with the blue zone Ikarians (Greek long lived people)
czcams.com/video/KdN5sLtN6Ik/video.html
They dont exercise a lot.
Exercise is key
Food and sport is the key. Less sugar. Less unhealthy fat good fat is in olive oil. Fasting sometimes helps as well. We eat not only bad food but too much of it.
I always eat better when I exercise
We're humans, we are supposed to walk, run, jump and use our strength, its in our DNA.

Thank you very much.
Thank you much appreciated
Thank you so much!!!!!
Many thanks
Thank you so much. Have a lovely weekend
I doubt youll read this Steven but I want to thank you and Tim for making this episode, it has literally changed my life. December 2024 I had been put on medication for high heart pressure and levels on my liver were high. After stopping eating processed foods in only one month I have lost 1 stone 2lbs my heart pressure levels have came down and liver levels are now fine. Whats amazing for me also is that i have walked with a limp for a year with very limited mobility in my hip due to what i thought was Arthritis. After only two weeks im in now walking around flat footed and without pain. Thanks for everything you guys have done for me God bless you. Im now looking forward to seeing how much more I can progress and hopefully coming off my medication completely. Keep up your fantastic interviews they do make a difference 😊
My daughter ended up with FND functional neurological disorder in March 2020 just as lockdown happened. All her appointments were cancelled and I ended up with a child who was having seizures, joint pain, blindness, severe tics, deafness, paraylsis, hallucinations plus the anxiety and panic attacks that we think caused it. I decided that sleep would be her best friend and I told her not to even think about school for a while and I started reading some articles on the nervous system and almost every credible article took me to gut microbiology. I began adding pre and pro biotics to our diets in food form not supplements to support and encourage bacteria and lots of other nutrients We started doing small amounts of meditation and just finding any joy we could. Sitting in the sunshine as much as possible and lots of other different things too many to mention. Just over two years later and she has been left with minimal symptoms, especially anxiety, which was ruining her daily life… and it happened so fast. Support your gut!
Indeed. Gut is the master
when i am enjoying the content and then..an awesome human shares wonderful insight..thank you so much for sharing
I'm so happy for you guys! Your daughter is lucky to have such a good mom. Are there any supplements that you would recommend? I'm just getting started in gut health
@@dbg0206091 Take vitamin D. ♥️
Gut health and vitamin D. ♥️
I much prefer this type of podcast where we learn something completely different, compared to the ones where we're learning why successful people have got where they are.
Would recommend dr rangan chaterjee podcast ! Very informative
@@LennySugiono I've watched that one with Steven already and like that one too. It's these types I like more with people like Jay Shetty and Simon Sinek, compared to ones with say Gary V etc.
Just my preference though and know that people get a lot out of those ones as well.
Completely agree. Other ones are very narcissistic
I have never been a financially successful person, I don't really want to, either. I really prefer to try to fix, undo, what "modern" opportunistic "successful" people have done in the name of profit & greed. How anybody thought perverting food for the masses was a good idea, I'll never know. I suspect they weren't female. Just a hunch.
I'm saying I agree with you, I concur. I don't know why the ability to hoard resources is admirable.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it czcams.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
My Mother controlled my behaviour as a child with a strict sugarless diet. I thank her to this day.
She was ahead of her time! I had a great mother but I wish she would have done the same! Sugar is a hard thing to quit!
I eat breakfast.lunch dinner. No snacking.Nuf said
so it didnt lead you to have an eating disorder or be jealous of other kids on halloween, christmas, birthdays etc.? Id like to raise my children that way too but Im worried it might lead to that..
@@jasonfrye8790 I wish the same. But if you can stop all sugar for one week (even three days can do it) - you will see the benefit - and your sugar craving will go. I did this - but I realise I over compensated by eating lots of fruit. However, I still did not crave white sugar products - with all the nasty side effects. Now I am trying to wean myself off the high sugar fruit (bananas, grapes etc.) and processed food. But I feel so good and have a reduced appetite - that I can now gradually start to sort out the rest of my diet - without feeling deprived or pressurised. Dr. Spector's diet seems to be the most balanced and sensible. It won't be easy - no diet is - but overcoming sugar addiction is the most important thing - and I never thought I could do it.
How sad
One of my grandfathers used to say (as a farmer): “if food doesn’t ROT quickly it isn’t healthful.” He was able to enter farming after studying it (he and his then- wife had enough money for land and equipment- and helpful workers!- while farming is NOW really SUPER hard to enter into if your family doesn’t have farmland already and passes it on or shares some with you). Farming is HARD work, full of risks as well, and not everyone likes the lifestyle (said wife did not). Not everyone able yo enter stays with it (they did not). But it’s way too hard these days financially and otherwise to be a “small holding (non-factory-style)” farmer. Sad. And not great fir the health of the rest of us who don’t farm (to lose so many small farms - most with good agricultural practices, committed owners with a calling, etc.)
Dr Tim: you can't get your food in a bottle and expect to be healthy
Steve: "I'd like to tell you about our sponsor Huel"
😂😂😂
Yeah, that really stuck out!!
🤣🤣🤣exactly. When he was talking about that I was like wtf man🤣
🤣🤣🤣
This. I just came here to say exactly the same - the only negative to an otherwise excellent interview was when Steven undermined the entire message about whole food/unprocessed eating when he inserted his regular promotional segment for huel nutritional products into the interview, clearly he wasn’t listening to his guest. That this wasn’t spontaneous within the interview but was edited in later is still less forgivable given that no reflection was given to the video content before the decision to include it.
I’m 62 and have lost 95 lbs in 18 months by eating only dinner (intermittent fasting) and increasing my physical activity (walking, stretching, low aerobics). The depression has lifted and my energy boosted in addition to the weight loss. I eat a big salad with veggies and a hard boiled egg, a few bites of meat or fish and some cooked veggies, then a big bowl of fruit. I rarely get hungry before 4pm and have no cravings :)
Happy for your success.
Sounds like a lot of gas 💨
Congratulations Julie🌺 Did you cut out Carbs? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for such a useful summary with time stamps
Wow! Thank you for this breakdown. 🤗
Thank you very much!!
The questions at end of each conversations are always very poignant yet leaving a beautiful sense of reality to ponder. Very meaningful conversations! Love it a lot! ♡
The fact that Tim Spector (the expert) has changed his mind over time about what to eat for health, demonstrates that science is never settled. Knowledge is always developing.
Exactly
Which mean he may well come back in a few years time and say Calorie counting does work long term. What I dont understand is being in a Calorie deficit does result in weight lose and a leaner body. Bodybuilders etc prove that?
@@branmaher6684 I studied a BSc in Human Nutrition for 4 years, calorie intake does work, it’s at the very essence of gaining or losing weight. A healthy gut can support this by reducing the tendency to overeat but it’s definitely not the case where you can just eat whatever you want in large portions, not exercising and expecting not to gain weight. Being overweight means it’s more likely you’ll have less healthy bacteria due to sugary diets etc, so how he can possibly separate the two and not see calories and gut bacteria as having dual importance is weird to me.
Not to mention that what works for one individual will not work for others.
@@branmaher6684 I was listening quite carefully at that part and his conclusion didn’t follow too directly from what he actually said.
He talks about people following a calorie controlled diet - calories and macros etc are the same but it’s ultra processed vs not - who then go on to eat extra helpings of food in one case and not the other.
So in this case “calorie counting not working” *actually* means that some foods will make you want to overeat more than others. If he means to say that calorie counting as a long term diet strategy doesn’t work, if I recall correctly, diets in general don’t work for long term weight loss for most people.
I’m not discounting the microbiome’s importance, more skeptically waiting for more evidence that what seems to be a rebranding of WFPB but with some meat and more fermented food is actually something people will have more long term success with than any of the other weight lose methods.
Super helpful listen. My biggest personal take aways are:
1. Have more diverse fruit and veggies in my diet through out the week. (Recommended 30)
2. Eat whole unprocessed foods.
3. Play with intermittent fasting as away to heal and clean up my gut.
4. The combination of all our gut microbes are like an organ and produce serotonin, so nurture them with a gut friendly diet.
5. Fermented foods and probiotics are super helpful.
you should also still exercise although you wont lose weight from it, taking a lower intake will make you lose muscle so you need to use the muscel so you dont lose it
Excellent synopsis. 👍
Regarding point 5, it's important to realize that for many, fermented foods are actually counter productive, as the fermentation process creates excess histamines and other inflammatory conditions. For people with things like Crohn's etc, you'd think that fermented foods would be helpful, but their higher histamine and often extremely high fodmap counts contribute to a lot of other problems. There's no magic cure in a dietary sense about pro or pre biotics, but we are learning more every day.

Brilliant summation!
I found myself taking mental notes of so many things I could research. I admire him not wanting to rush into anything before doing trials, that says a lot about his work ethic. I agree with everything except the coffee because of all the acids so for me personally it’s a no, however, I loved everything else and him being so candid at the end about his relationship with his Father almost made me cry. Thank you for not rushing the interview it made it more authentic.
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that exercise doesn’t lead to weight loss. I’m struggling with that one.
@@jasonfrye8790 he doesn't imply a sedentary life is OK, he's saying that the Fitness industry is selling a notion/idea/dream. And as Stephen says, his group of 10 friends haven't lost weight.
Gym bunnies CAN be couch potato's, as (with the Dominos calorie counter) - they think they have it in the bag. I saw a study where gardening (proper labouring, bit ride on mower) burnt off more calories than a gym session. I'd say keep up the gym work, so to maintain good habits and social interactions
@@jasonfrye8790it's true unless all you do is exercise and not eat
I have just completed the Zoe tests and started the program. VERY informative, eye opening and exciting. I’ve always considered myself healthy and exercise daily but post menopausal needed a new approach. Thank you Dr. Spector!
I have been doing Zoe since 2022. I am amazed at the health benefits and changes to my body composition with gradual weight loss--finally able to lose weight past a set point with a total change in my relationship with food and attitude!
I see you, Steven, you've released this to give people the best shot at their new years resolutions ☺️
I’d say diet is for life not just for Christmas, when your health falters to being a life changing event, shit gets serious, unless you hate life
@@alisonbailey7518 of course it is but not everyone finds it that simple so the new year feels like a new start for them.
Hi Steven,
Have you heard of dr. Sten Ekberg? If you could get him on the podcast would be great. He has a CZcams Chanel and for anyone who want to understand how the body and nutrition actually works go check it out.
czcams.com/video/aACFi0ZIO8w/video.html
I'd love to see you talk with the be nourished/ body trust group.
that's what i thought!
Calorie counting worked for me. I stuck to 1500 calories per day and lost 56lbs. When I got to my target weight, I stuck to 1500 calories a day in the week, then ate what I liked at weekends. I've kept the weight off for 11 years and it's been easy.
It's not all about weigh loss though
Because it works haha it’s really basic and straight forward. People try to complicate this topic. Control portion size, eat healthy none processed food and go train you will be healthy both mentally and physically and be the desired weight. With a obesity problem in the western world telling people to not train and not calorie count is utter madness
most importantly, it is the FOOD choices which outweigh the calorie counting.
Yes, you can lose weight by restricting calories.. But you may not see good health if the choices were bad.
1500 calories of veg and fruit and legumes will be far better than 1500 calories of processed food, oil, animal products and junk.
Exactly. Nothing wrong with calorie counting. Lazy people always look for short cuts so they probably like the idea of not having to take any accountability for what they eat.
Calorie counting works for everyone. It's physics, physics works for everyone.
This is one of my favourite episodes and just listened to it for the second time. Incredibly interesting thank you Steven and Dr Tim Spector. Looking forward to ordering your book Food for Life.
Calorie counting is not useless. I have been doing it for 6 years successfully and have shaped my body exactly how I wanted to. The key is to not use it as an excuse to eat rubbish foods. If you eat simple whole foods then counting is absolutely possible. It is not about being accurate to the gram, because close enough IS good enough. And if you tend to eat the same foods a lot, as I do, it works like a charm. As long as you eat nutritious foods you will not feel like you are depriving yourself. Frankly, if you want abs, then this is the way to get them and keep them. Fitness people have been doing this for years, there are your long term studies right there.
Much of what I heard here is rubbish.
There is a degree of unbelievable contradiction here in the presentation and its related to the advertising. We have the world renowned nutrition expert telling us that processed and ultra processed foods are not beneficial to our health. Limiting processed foods is the secret to good health.... Fact after fact presented clearly and unambiguously. Then at 57.5 mins we have the presenter plugging the sponsor Huel who make highly processed 'food'. Does anyone else see the irony. Huel, the highly processed food in a ziplock bag or highly processed protein powders in a plastic tub. Come on Steve, maybe listen to your own content and ask yourself that some question again you asked Tim at 28 mins.
Thank you. As someone with a rare genetic condition that killed my mum at 60, I'm a keen follower of Tim and the Zoe studies as I try to optimise my own health. Wonderful to see him speak in a much more personal interview and to promote his work.
You killed your mum?
Yes ... Great structured interview here.
You might also enjoy some of Michio Kushi's research and books from the '70s and or '80s. Science initially blew him off but is finally catching up to him. Wishing you continued knowledge and success with your condition in 2023. May it be your best year ever!
Beware of this guy he made to basic mistakes regarding Caffeine and Anti depressants that clearly shows his lack of research into subjects that he writes about but not triple check for people like yourself
All the best

@@freeassange5151 what mistakes?
Mate, that was one of the best last questions ever to ask such an accomplished man. The authenticity of the question & answer have moved me from skeptical of this podcast to a subscriber. Well done & an amazing interview, please keep up the good work.
It’s not An amazing interview. This guy is a total hack, talking nonsense, selling his book, talking to someone who just doesn’t know his subject. Total shit
Agreed!
I have tears in my eyes. My father is still around. But neither of us make any effort for any meaningful connection.
it is interesting how Steven's simplicity and freedom on set makes the conversations more relatable - sitting on one leg, playing with his socks, teasing friends etc. BEST PODCAST ONLINE!
This Podcast is #1 in the game. The guests are top tier.
1000% agree! Very valuable
This podcast was extremely interesting. Well done 👏
So much fantastic information and engagement. Highly recommended!!!
I'll watch this again... Thanks so much 🙏
Exercising is extremely important. You can lose weight by changing your exercise routine because it effects your total energy expenditure; however, nobody can outwork a bad diet.
Shut up
Yes, they can. As long as your energy deficit remains, fat loss will occur. Simple math.
@@rockon8174 I agree. I would call that a good diet. The caveat is adhering to a meal plan that encourages you to follow your daily routine and meals while simultaneously mitigating the desire to throw in a few cheat meals/snacks here and there that you don’t record on your MACRO food diary. The numbers alone don’t provide the whole story. You must find a combination of fat, protein and carbohydrates that work the best for you physically and mentally.
@@rockon8174 100% CICO is a fact.
Loved this. Watching, learning from Bosnia and Herzegovina ❤ This is the kind of interview and knowledge we need, globally! Keep up the good work :)
How refreshing to watch an interview where the host asks intelligent, researched questions and then listens to the answer from his guest. Great channel keep it coming!
And Keto diet people succumb to cancer twisted obstructed bowls because they ditch carbs from bread rice potatoes and staples that the body needs
Totally agree! Excellent!
Ah yes, like ”calories doesnt matter”, the most basic level of losing wieght.😅
Agree! He did his research before sitting down & asked such thoughtful/helpful questions
Sorry to tell you but these guys are pretty stupid. Keep searching...
Steven, what an informative, meaningful, profound and moving interview! I am so impressed with your supportive listening depth, thank you so much. Thank you Doctor Tim Spector too for all your work and for your bravery. I learned so much out of just one listening. Wonderful.
I absolutely LOVE this interview as so many others of you! thank you very much for sharing your knowledge Tim Spector, thank you guys DOAC, you are doing a great jop! MANY THANKS!!! Warmly, Tatiana
Wow! That has to be the most polite and heart felt comment I have ever read on here! I got a boost just reading that! THERE IS HOPE FOR HUMANITY!!
The Last Question... Had me in tears. Such a sad and lovely way to speak about our parents in two crucial parts of our lives (childhood and adulthood).
I miss my mom everyday 😭
Thank you guys for the fantastic conversation. No hurry, no intermitting. You both have shown the culture of talking that is so rare nowadays. And the content is very inspiring too. Thanks a lot.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, It has certainly opened my eyes to how the food companies portray as health food providers when they are certainly harming us. I had already begun my weight loss journey last October and lost 24kg eating clean foods and plant based foods, and the difference in mood and energy levels are a massive change. I do workout boxing and weights and it has been great for my mental health and part of my weight loss journey, So I will be continuing. Overall I did like how Dr Tim is honest about what is actually happening with obesity and finding new ways to fix the worlds weight problem. Thankyou
Please share some tips on your diet. I'm trying Keto, because I'm gluten intolerant, but at the moment stuck.
I think we have to stop obsessing about weight loss unless you're obese and morbidly obese ...... This man is teaching us how to eat healthily and sensibly and no doubt weight loss will follow... stop stressing about how much you weigh .. If you're overweight you know why!
Loved this, healthy gut healthy mind. Watched it with my teenage daughter who was very impressed with the discussions! We live in Tuscany Italy and I grew up with the med diet. I also reside in Thailand and again extreme diet differences. Cultural blood analysis is important. As I am of Italian blood there are some foods I can never eat, due to my blood DNA. I can drink coffee any time of the day and week. That myth and words of I won't sleep at night never has an effect on me.
I love this guy! He’s amazing and REAL! So glad I came across this video! Thank you for hosting him. 🙏🏻
I love the variety of your guests, Steve. One week a rapper, the next a professor with various areas of expertise, which I think it’s so important because it allows for different perspectives, opinions and conversations to take place and that’s exactly what we need in today’s society - more open conversations. Keep them coming! 👍
Thank you! Credit to Jemima and Ross in our booking team. I have conversations with people that I'm interested in having conversations with - and all of these things, food, diet, psychology, relationships, and even sex, are key parts of what it means to be a "successful" human, entrepreneur, CEO, whatever. They're all interlinked!
Me too I love the variety of
Guest on here…. They all have one thing in common. They are sooooo interesting 🧐
@@TheDiaryOfACEO Absolutely, we can draw a lot of similarities from looking at and learning about different subjects but also because we humans are very complex and even though some questions will forever remain unanswered we can aim to get as close to the truth as we can by educating ourselves.
Grateful to your team for the variety of guests and this easy accessible wealth of knowledge ❤️
Brilliant interview. I hadn’t heard of Dr. Tim before. I’m currently reading Dr. Robert Lustig ‘ Metabolical’ and previous read his ‘Fat Chance’ book, book excellent and very informative books. However, I would like to add that even with buying an array of fruit and vegetables (fresh produce) we need to be aware of the quality of the soil quality too and whether they’ve been sprayed with bad chemicals!
It made a lot of sence to me, i've got almost 2 years since i started to change my diet, eat more mindfully and exercising, sometimes i make a smoothie in the mornings, with oatmeal, almonds, nuts, seeds, berries, and it ends up being a high-calorie drink but it keeps me satisfied for hours, so quality is what matters not calories, thank you ❤
I just came across your channel by this episode. I was looking into the side effects of a medication. Dr. Tim Spector is brilliant! I saw a short piece on him long ago. I have a myriad of health issues. I used to live my life eating fermented foods, raw nuts, the Mediterranean diet suggestion worked well with that. I have never seen an extended piece on him, and I have been trying to find one of his books to remember his name. I realized I lent it to someone I am estranged from. Now, it’s harder for me to read due to severe migraines. I see Dr. Spector is on Audible! I am glad to be reminded of his name, and to find such a great host/show. I’m now watching the interview of Professor Steve Peters.

Thanks for this. This is the best interview with him I’ve heard. It is so fascinating that there is increasing evidence of how different our nutritional needs are.
We have twins and their digestive experience in life is diametrically opposite. And so is their behavior at time. Wonderful podcast, thank you
This is the best podcast I’ve ever watched and it’s going to change my life. Thank you
Amazing podcast! My brain has absorbed heaps of new information/advice that I hope that I can implement in my own life regarding improving the types of food I'm consuming. More enlightening podcasts like this please 👏🏼
I just can’t recommend this philosophy of eating enough! I was diagnosed with inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis about 18 months ago. Having researched a bit I decided to look to reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates in my diet. I started to see some slight improvement but then came across Zoe and Tim S and his team. I’ve read two of his books and have gradually embraced more and more aspects of this diet and lifestyle. Overall it’s taken 8. months but unbelievably for the past 2 months I have been totally symptom free!! What’s more I have stopped all my anti inflammatory medications! I just can’t believe that changing my diet can have had such a positive affect! Thank you to Tim and team 🙏
Steven thank you for your podcast and bringing on these guests. Subscribed and actively listening!
Another brilliant show, host, and guest. This healthy lifestyle has completely redefined my life.
It was wonderful to hear a conversation on an individual's unique nutritional needs, especially as a female who goes through many bodily, chemical, changes starting with menstrual cycles to pregnancy, to premenopause to post menopause. I have had to rework the whole dynamic of my nutritional needs ,(along with other factors), numerous times in my life. It has been a constant
re-evaluation and study on what best suits me "now" conquest. Thank you for this dialog.
Excellent points! It’s extra dynamic for women with these changes & we need to constantly reevaluate ❤
I was quite captivated by this interview and appreciate having been introduced to Dr. Spector; I learned so much valuable information and all was information worth having! Fabulous interview!
That ending was incredibly sad but also the most interesting part to me, especially after hearing his amazing wealth of knowledge and success.
Thank you so much for all of your work - it is very much appreciated. This particular podcast was enlightening on many levels.
This in my opinion is your best podcast guest yet. You have had some incredible guests, but this doctors message and well explained answers was fantastic. Thank you- thoroughly enjoyed it!
I thought 30 plants in a week sounds a lot, so I decided to make a list. I landed in 20 different plants in just the first 2 days of this week! This is actually easy. 😊
Same, I hit 30 with minimal effort in 3 days, so I'm challenging myself to hit 50 in the new few days.
20 different plants? :0
@@nicochan1537this includes herbs and spices. Make a curry once a week and you've probably got at least 10 different plants right there! Add mixed nuts and seeds to some yoghurt for breakfast, another 10... Now you only need 10 different fruits and veggies throughout the week to get there. It's not that difficult.
@@matthewhook3375I think some people mostly associate vegetables with plants. Which I understand because vegetables are more varied parts of plants than nuts, seeds, fruits and legumes. All of the aforementioned items are generally just plant seeds to varying degrees. Whereas vegetables are the stocks, bulbs, leaves and so forth of the plant. But they still all count
I listen but take all the advice I need for my personal way of life and ability. Not all applies to everyone. This Infornation is like gold. Love this channel. It all comes down to eat healthy and be active. Get rid of junk processed food and laziness.
Interesting. The way Tim explains how to eat, is how I have eaten for over 40 years. I am 70, a female, never been on any Meds. Still full of life. Travel a lot and live for new adventures and have them. So far I have not contracted any of the viruses that have recently been circulating. Tim's advice is spot on. Look after your gut and your gut will look after you.
No always but usually. My uncle ate very limited food but lived to 91.
Liz...God Bless You...Have a Blast on your travels
Goody for you
Totally agree Liz! I am a very healthy 66 years young. I eat well (which, for me, is whole food plant based with no animal products, dairy or eggs) and exercise daily. I can't remember the last time I was sick. It's been YEARS since I've had even a sniffle. And, like you, I have not contracted any of the recent viruses. I have more energy now than ever before!
@@pbatlake For everyone like yourself there is one who has the same experience with a carnivore diet. Funny how that works.
Happy New Year! I have never seen your channel before but, as a member of the Zoe Community who is on day 60 something of the Zoe Big IF intermittent fasting study, I can never get enough of what Tim Spector has to say, therefore I subscribed because I understand how helpful it is and, this video is perfectly timed as I want to try to lose a little weight in the beginning of the year. I am on day 90 I believe now, had some ups and downs due to flu but am back on what seems to be a pretty natural 9/15 TRE. My mood has improved dramatically, I am sleeping, going to bed early, and being up at 5, generally start eating at 8.40-9.00 am and am finished by 18.00 and my energy has improved drastically. I think I'll continue on this and may tailor my calories a wee bit but even before doing that I feel 100% better and it's little or no hardship because I stopped feeling hungry early on.
His information is totally wrong ahah. He ignores the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and disregards facts on nutrition just to get 15 seconds of fame
@@edwardj9816 I don't think so! 15 minutes of fame eh? He is only one of the 100 most cited scientists in the world.
I use a calorie counting app. Not for the calorie counting feature, but because it helps me think about my eating patterns, identify when and why I may be craving more processed food and if there is anything that I can substitute it for that is a whole food. This conversation was so interesting! This is exactly the patterns of eating that I want to implement in my life.
Fooking hell! There's so much nuanced information that this is the one podcast I can't put in the background and keep on working. Steve, you owe me 96 minutes of my work day LOL... Awesome episode =D
I know what you're saying but healthy 5000 calories or unhealthy 5000 calories is still 5000 calories. Nothing is ever said about lack of movement. Everybody's a rectangle flicker.
Always remember there were no fat people in Auschwitz. The nazis knew stringent calories plus hard labour, = a slow death but long enough to get some work out of them.
They didn't need that 1500 years ago, or even 40 years ago. If you eat organic food and non processed food you don't need to count anything.
Calorie count works with weight loss. I've seen it and it works most other diets are bullshit. Now is this guy talking bollocks no, he it's total sense your body is what you eat. You could calorie count by eating two big macs in one day but is that good for your body?? Nope
Steve you are a legend. You bring irreplaceable content. Thanks once again. You always spot on.
So people need to stop think about calories. Is there a way of measuring how much protein and vegetables you need to maintain your body mass. From my knowledge we suppose to x2 our weight to know how much protein we need to intake on daily basis.
Is there a way of assessing vitamins and minerals on daily basis. Or lets say from month to month without paying for check ups.
Thanks
❤❤👏👏
I did ketogenic diet mixed with intermittent fasting and had a morning walk 6-7 k 5 days a week and lost 21kg in 4 months ( 109.7 to 88.6) - I eliminated 98% of may sugar all my carbs( no bread no rice no past etc) and all the food was cooked in house nothing processed !
My husband healed his fatty liver in less than 6 months on keto as well as losing 25 pounds!
What matters though is if you can keep it off. Is keto maintainable? That’s the question.
@@jojohaligo It is for us. It has been a year and we don't miss grains and sugars and we were total carboholics. On special occasions we allowed a bread or cookie cheat treat and both decided it didn't taste as good as we thought it would and didn't like the way we felt afterwards. Our only desserts are heavy cream with blueberries and some dark chocolate. We don't feel hungry or deprived at all. It feels great not to be run by carb addictions. Keto / ketovore is about a healthy lifestyle for us now, not a weight loss program.
Congratulations! Do you have loose skin from the 20kg weight loss in such a short time? Please let me know.
I am wondering how much to lose this year to avoid loose skin.
Edit -21 kg
@@user-yq8dp6oy6n There are quite a few videos on how to deal with the loose skin after weight loss. I think it is mostly intermittent fasting causing your body to eat up the excess skin (autophagy). Dr Berg, Dr Berry, and Thomas DeLauer all have videos on this topic. Although I didn't have a lot of flab, mine went away and I am 60.
Found this on YT recommendations and wow! It's an interview I didn't know I needed. Tim is no doubt a master in this topic, but his ability to communicate a complex topic succinctly is what got me hooked the entire time. I'm not even health conscious. The host's interviewing techniques are what drove this conversation - every time I wanted to ask something, he did. He just knew what the viewers would want to know. This is so good. Why did I not know of this channel before!
He's talking absolute nonsense, I'm sat here in disbelief that a professional can be saying such grossly incorrect things in such a confident way. If you want to be healthy, eat more ruminant meat, far less, or zero plants. This has worked for millions of people now and counting, including many of my clients.
Just when I came to terms that plants were trying to kill us... I swear trying to do the right thing becomes more difficult the more i try to educate myself
I can relate! It seems the more you learn, the more everything contradicts each other. So confusing!!
Excellent. Thank you. I am addicted to these podcasts. They are really opening my eyes and mind.
I remember as a child in elementary, I had ADHD. My teacher at the time was a bit of an a-hole and hyper focused on me in class and constantly sent me to the principal office because I didn't "pay attention". She constantly put me on red light (some may know what this means) all because I didn't learn the way she wanted me to learn. There came a point where she tried putting me in classes in later years of people who had certain mental conditions. She even insisted in a conference with my Ma and principal that she should get medication for me. You know what my Ma did? She changed my diet and gave me glasses because come to find out I had bad vision. She slowly introduced organic foods in my diet and my moods changed. This is how affective treating the gut is.
I am so grateful you had a pro-active and attentive parent. That’s great!
Also, kudos to ur teacher for catalysing this awareness & shifting your mom in actually addressing your needs . Having a disruptive class member is of no benefit to the collective or the individual so I have sympathy for both camps ( as will u , if ur own child /g’child ends up in a class where the squeaky wheel takes all the teachers attention ). Given it’s the only system we have ( albeit flawed ) I am conscious of how many well behaved kids needs are constantly overlooked .
Have just spent a week babysitting my granddaughters 2 new baby bunnies & the only analogy I cld draw was that one ( constantly escaping; bouncing, hopping , crowding 😂) must be what teachers have to handle w a restless child . The well behaved bunny , by pure default, got far less attention and cuddles than the pesky one bc I had to be on high alert watching whatever it was up to . And listening to Tim I was thinking hmmmm, they both eat the v same thing but one, by nature , is just a full on hyperactive exploratory Houdini . Still think genetics plays a poss greater role than gut Microbiome alone . Am a VERY Strong believer in healthy Microbiome but don’t believe it is the be all and end all of wellness and disease but so glad to be living at a time where science/medicine are discovering so much ab the synergy of all parts .
Interesting other factor he cited that China & Japan r low on depression scale . The latter has a notoriously high suicide rate & am sure , if we got proper data , the former prob is too . Hardly a reliable epidemiological study . App homosexuality /Aids etc don’t exist there either 😂🤣 .
My daughter had ADD. She eliminated wheat and now she's a chemical engineer. Eliminating wheat completely eliminated here symptoms.
Sounds doubtful
@@equatorialjourney4478 japan's suicide rate is not meaningfully higher than anywhere else. I lived there and started my career involved in study, work and the start of family creation, w japanese ppl/entities/places (as a Yank).
Thank you for continuing to challenge our understanding of the world by challenging conventional wisdom. You are helping us to stretch, to grow, and to be more than we were before we watched/listened.
Seems to be the lead cause of searching, when a close loved one dies or almost dies of chronic illness… and then out of the despair a new light of hope arises. Sorry for your loss, thank you for your wisdom and sharing your knowledge 🙏
Excellent conversation, highlight the importance of eating whole, homemade, food, lots of colourful vegetables and avoid ultraprocessed food. I'd love to see more doctors for example Dr. Sally Bell, Dr. Aaron Booster
I started on Keto to help overcome a lot of inflammation, bloating and brain fog - I was feeling old before my time. I became addicted on sugar to keep my energy levels up and suffered from a lot of anxiety too. Plus my hormones were changing (woman in early fifties) and I wanted to feel that my body was mine again. I started intermittent fasting too. I had been following a vegan diet for a while but Keto took me back to eating beef and oily fish.
The result after a year was a lack of cravings for sugar, a clearer head. But it was when I started taking nascent iodine to correct a deficiency that my energy levels really took off and I became very lean. I don't usually weigh myself but go with how I feel, and at my heaviest was 62 kilos. When I stepped on the scales I was a bit surprised, expecting to see 57 kilos, but instead I was 52 - I haven't weighed that little since I was 19. The weight isn't the big thing - I have no desire to be a head on a stick - but I'm feeling good and am able to exercise now and build up my strength. I am now keeping an eye on my weight but more with a focus on not losing any more.
Edit: Having just listened to the keto part, either I'm confused or Dr Spector is confused. Keto isn't about cutting out plants, it's about cutting out high sugar carbs and starch. I eat so many veg but keep the root vegetables low. I make my own keto bread and flaxseed tortilla wraps, cauliflower pizza bases etc. It's moderate protein and fat from oily fish, nuts and avocados. Dr Spector seems to thinking of the carnivore diet which I've also heard works miracles for some. Each to their own. Everything in moderation seems to work!
In his defense I think that the doctor is arguing against a strict keto diet which consists of 70% fat, 20% protein, and 20% carbohydrate. In the long term this is likely to not be sustainable or healthy for the majority of people. For me cutting out carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice) allowed me to drop 10% of my body weight over 3 months, which I seriously needed to do.
I think that you have found what is the right diet for you! I am mainly carnivore. But I eat dairy and some fruit. Very little veggies. I have a son who is a vegetarian and marathon runner. It works for him.
@@paullatter1604 Yes, it’s pretty clear that there is no one size fits all program for nutrition. The trick is finding out what works for each person. I came to this realization that late in life. At age 74 I found that I was gaining weight every year to the point where I had a serious problem. Another 10% will take me back to my weight at age 40, which is “good enough.”
@@richardcoughlin8931 Oh wow - no, my Keto is definitely not that "strict" - I've never heard it described in that way..
@@NothingByHalves Most of the keto info I found on the web seemed too rigid and/or extreme. I call my diet “keto” but I don’t consume anywhere near 70% of my diet as fat. Also, I keep my carb intake under 10% and quite honest I don’t know what percentage of my diet is protein. The most important thing is that it works for me and it is sustainable. I feel that I could stay on my present diet indefinitely. I asked my doctor about unanticipated problems and she ordered a blood panel. After three months of keto (my version) all my blood results were normal - as good or better than they have ever been.
Everyone should listen to this. Pure gold. Thank you! Happy New Year!
One of the most interesting and truly beneficial hours I spent on youtube. I love the podcast, I have been binge watching many videos, and I always learn new and useful things here. Thank you for your (by your, I mean the whole team) efforts.
Wow, I have the same exact dreams of my father. I lost him suddenly when I was 17 and he was 49. I never got to see him at the hospital or his body, and now I have recurring dreams that he left us to start a new family, went on a trip, etc.
23:00 - OH MY GOD I KNEW IT! I have said for YEARS that I can’t have carbs in the morning bc it makes me want to eat more in the day and I get ravenous in a couple hours. People think I’m crazy when I say that! I freaking knew it!!!!! Wow! It feels so good to know there’s actual science behind that theory of mine!!!
When I eat in the morning I'm more Hungry & Tired throughout the day
What a load of shit
Yeah that's why I make sure to have a good portion of meat in the morning.
Just responding to your comment as some potential advice for anyone that might need it..
I went on a spring break trip to Mexico for 9 days. Prior to arrival, I weighed 186 pounds. When I returned home, I weighed 175.5 pounds. To my surprise, I lost 10 pounds. A few things I did while on that trip were..
1. Walk a lot around the resort daily (I'm guessing at least 3-4 miles a day)
2. Eat 2-3 light meals a day consisting of raw fruit, veggies, seafood and occasional cheese and cheese pizza
3. Maintain a relaxed mindset/feeling due to the environment
4. Didn't count any calories or even think about losing weight at all during the trip
5. Binge drank every single night
Now I'm not advocating for drinking twelve beers a night like I did lol, but I just wanted to include that point because it is crazy to think how I lost 10 pounds in a little over a week while doing that sort of intense partying.. It just goes to show how important small meals consisting of real, raw foods are. Along with the fact that walking is the absolute most underrated form of exercise on the planet. It's extremely easy on your joints and muscles too. Again, I was never intending on losing weight during this trip, in fact before I left I thought I would probably come home weighing a few pounds heavier
Good comment! How did you add the time index to the comment. That's awesome.
Wonderful interview! Very informative and great timing in my life. That last question from previous guest unravelled me.💕
Thank you for this great interview and eye-opening information on food.
Now that the myth of juices has been refuted, I am wondering: what about soup? Does mixing the vegetables and heating it up also eliminate the vitamins and minerals?
I would be grateful if you could ask this question the next food expert you get on your podcast.
Yes, that's been my question too! I think soups like that - would not be deemed healthy, just like juices - again due to caloric availability.
There is a difference between juice and soup. When you juice you are removing the fiber. When you make soup you just cut up the veggies and cook them in some type of liquid. You're not removing the fiber. Even if you blend the soup after it's cooked, you still haven't removed the fiber.
@@katillac11to further your comment, cooking foods like vegetables can break down the fiber matrices that trap the nutrients. Basically, think of cooking as predigestion. So soups can make the nutrients in vegetables MORE bioavailable
Edit: and vegetables don’t contain nearly the same level of natural sugars as fruits. The fiber matrices in fruit help reduce the blood sugar spike because your body has to work to “free up” the sugars from fruit. That concern doesn’t really exist with vegetables
Exercise has literally saved my life.
I initially thought this was just going to be another new trendy diet extremist but was pleasantly surprised to see how level headed and realistic this whole approach to health was. Thanks for a great interview with great information!
It's because of this title
I was norn and bred in Central Africa but lived in South Africa for 48 years.
In South Africa, when my son was small he had tonsillitis quite often. When hecwas given antubiotics my doctor told me that I must give him a lot of yoghurt whenever he has antibiotics, but in any case, he should be eating yoghurt daily.
Then, from about 1980, dictors started prescribing pro biotics every time they prescribed an antibiotic. Even for babies.
I was very surprised to find that when I came to the UK probiotics were hardly even heard of. How strange.
Too bad this guy is lying then huh... let me guess you are unaware that keto is NOT a trendy diet and is MEDICALLY PRESCRIBED for epilepsy and is completely sustainable. This clown is a fraud just like 98% of the people discussing nutrition. He provides zero evidence for his claims in this entire interview and just reinforces old lies about plants and fiber that he can't prove in any capacity. The great thing about nutrition and health is for the most part we can tell an awful lot just by looking at you and this guy doesn't pass the test. Not by a long shot. Never mind the ridiculous crap he suggested. Where exactly are my northern European ancestors supposed to get 30 different plants to consume weekly during winters and ice ages? How about nowhere. 😆
Yes. The secret to health is to eat the least processed possible, the fresher the better. (Thats why the mediterranean diet is so good). Also add fermented foods for gut health. Its that simple. Society makes it complicated because keeping us confused generates them trillions of dollars in revenue per yr as they sell us “food” void of nutrition, we get sick, then they prescribe us stuff that has side effects and toxins and kills our body and mind. Its a win-win for the fda as they control the food and the drugs. Food gets us sick, drugs do not cure anything. Win-win! If you look at anyone that has put their health in the hands of conventional drs you will notice that they go to the clinics for yrs and are still sick! Drs only manage symptoms but know nothing of cures. Thats why what we eat is so important. We can eat death or health in every bite.
No.. Tim Spector is doing or has done some of the largest studies on food and health. It's proper science. I very much trust him because it is so evidence based. He's also fun as scientists get...
Watching my weight at a close distance damaged me at so many levels...
at a certain point i fell into such a deep state of depression, i needed a reset.
i put all contacts with the people around me aside so didn't contact anyone, didnt want to, pauzed my job because depression just kept me indoors..
my exercise routine was destroyed.. and at one point (i can't remember why this happened) i suddenly realized something.
im too fed up with keeping myself healthy and happy that its damaging me.
constantly watching what i have to eat to keep a stable weight is actually tiresome and frustrating(to me personally).
so i swore to myself to change my food intake like a total 180 degree turn on what type of foods i eat. nothing else. no exercising. just daily routine.
to my surprise actually, i started losing weight. i started feeling great again -not depressed, i have now energy for days. my mood doesn't change easily anymore..
im allround way more positive and it just feels like this is how my body used to be and i can finally do the things i like and love.
What foods did you eat?
I fast for the last year, I have an 6 hour eating window and it is like all the fog have been lifted. I can work out twice a day if I would wanted to with no issue, energy and recovery all over. I can stand up around 7.30, work at 8.00 till lunchbreak than workout for an hour during and continue working and I do not feel any fatique or the urge to eat something.. As before if I didnt eat every few hours I would feel terrible, light headed, floathy, etc.
It was scary at first, because here we are so used to eat 5+ times a day and for atleast 14+ hours. No I start eating around 13.00 (lunch) and then finish my dinner at 19.00. That's it. It got a sixpack, everyone, literally everyone says: you look good! Even friends from friends.
I do fasting and I take herbs and it changed my life. I sleep again like a child, dreaming every night. I can wake up, and start working straight away, no problem. Funny thing is I just read a study that shows it help your overal brain to sometimes directly starts working just after waking up and so that is even possible.
I get no flu, no rash, the constant (over) thinking is gone. No pimples, no moodswings, no headaches. I eat organic, I take herbs as supplements, I fast and workout. But nothing strict! So no lists, no alarms, no apps, no schedule, if they help you, why not, but I just try to feel what I like and follow that and it makes it very, very easy
1:36:29 One of the best podcasts on DOAC! Kept 💯 of my attention all the way through. Thank you 🙏
This was a very educational and interesting podcast. Comes at a perfect time for me as well as I’m reevaluating my food habits. Pleasure listening to such a level headed and evidence based discussion on nutrition. Great job!

Admire the honesty of the interviewer in not knowing something and asking /- and at the same time the confident preparedness for the interview - very skilled work!
Great interview and very informative.
I did find it amusing the huel advert in the middle, an ultra processed protein shake amongst a whole conversation about avoiding ultra processed foods!
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. Healthy food is my biggest passion. I'm definitely going to read Tim's books. Thank you for all of this valuable advice! 😚
Hello Steven, I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. I think the more diverse your subjects are the better your CZcams channel becomes, and also attracts a wider audience. I’m really interested in this subject and watched it with glee and fascination. I have learnt so much more than I knew and look forward to doing more research on this subject. Thank you again and good luck in continuing to broaden our horizons on so many new subjects ❤
I am late to this podcast but extremely happy I found it. Keep educating us. This particular podcast is close to home as I’m a food scientist.
It is so hard to get know & open up to a father from the 60s. More than any other methods, it means to help them & let them explain something to you. I had that chance once & will remember each of his words for the rest of my life.
My wife has a gluten sensitivity. She doesn't get stomach issues with gluten grains, but she gets major skin issues. It appears as "eczema" and will get to the point of cracking, pustule skin. We've done dietary testing, off and on, with consuming gluten grains, and she consistently reacts negatively to any gluten grains, but not other grains.
That was me before going carnivore
As a doctor, I love how summarized this is, I must say however, it is nothing new, all these things have already been talked about multiple times in many many older books by people like Dr. Joel Fuhrman in his Eat to Live book, William Davis in his Wheat Belly book, and many other authors, this one however was just a much better popularization, which makes me happy that people finally get to know that food is not just important, but it is almost EVERYTHING that dictates your life.
Steven, what a refreshing interview style. Thoroughly enjoyed your informed, direct way of interviewing.😊
Such a thoughtful lovely man. Loved this interview ❤
I really enjoyed this podcast. It made so much sense to me. Thank you
Great podcast and interview. Love the nutritional advice from Tim. Thanks Steven!
"Weight loss is not about depriving yourself of the foods you love, it's about finding a healthy balance and making sustainable choices."
To an extent. People don't realize that anti-nutrients in vegetables and grains are wreaking havoc on our bodies. We don't realize why we feel like crap and assume it is just environment and age but things like gluten, oxylates, phytates, lectins and pectins are literally killing some people. Sometimes you have to be aware of what you are eating and how it is physiologically affecting your body. Most of us love bread of some type but people with auto-immune, arthritis and migraines see vast improvements by cutting out wheat in our diets.
@@guibox3 🙂
Weight loss and Fat loss are two different things!
@@thehealthychefri While it is true that weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing, it is also important to note that they are closely related. Losing weight means that you are losing both fat and muscle mass, whereas losing fat specifically refers to losing just the fat tissue. However, the ultimate goal for most people is to lose fat, as it is the excess fat that is associated with health risks such as heart disease and diabetes. Additionally, when people try to lose weight, they often focus on the scale rather than body composition, which can lead to disappointment if they are losing muscle mass instead of fat. So, it's important to focus on both weight loss and fat loss in order to achieve optimal health and fitness.
yes but that is a balance of between calories and exercise.
I've enjoyed this podcast. I keep exercising for a range of other reasons, not least of which I want to flexible and mobile as I get older.
I'm happy that I clicked on this.. I'm someone who buys low calorie frozen food for my lunches.. no wonder I feel so crappy and my stomach hurts.. thank you for enlightening me!
Just dropping a comment to thank you for this insightful conversation. I have learnt so much today, and am feeling very happy about all those slavic pickles I grew up eating. But really, this conversation really speaks to issues in my own life. Thank you. Intelligent and practical.
This guest came full circle. The answer he gave to the final question was soooo human, relatable, honest, and brave. It hit me right in my GUT. I wanted to hug him.
This comment ❤❤❤
That was really good!
Informative but I also think that the relationship between the two (interviewer & interviewee) felt easy & comfortable.
I love all these videos on nutrition, food, health, etc. I would like to know more about nutrition, sugar, health for high performing athletes and endurance athletes... I believe the perspective would be very different.
Zoe App taught me so much about my sugar swing. I do notice more calories 24 hours after a spike in sugar. The monitor and all the testing after the muffins gave me Real answers to my body more than any Doctors blood tests. It was a huge learning curve.
