I suffered with Crohn’s disease for 20 something years. When I changed my diet to plants and fermented food I was completely able to come off any medications. Now 13 years later with no flare ups or even a tummy ache this says it all 😊
Do you eat rice? I've got crohns too..do u drink coffee with sugar?
Hey what’s ur diet?
For the past month it's mostly fish,rice, minimal bread , no cakes, minimal red meat, 2 coffees a day with sugar and milk. Other than yhat no other milk source food. Also I eat chilli's with my rice. Consume little tumeric daily .
In a nut shell. My diet. Fresh and as much as possible organic. Eat All plant food. Vegetables, Rice, beans, lentils and as much variety as possible. Mostly home cooked. Plenty of home made fermented foods. No milk. I drink black coffee. I fast. 16 to 20 hours. No food usually after 7 pm and before 11am to give the gut a break. Occasionally I do a 24 or 48 hour fast. As well and daily meditation and breathwork. Don’t forget it’s not all about the food. Mental health is essential. I hope that helps. X
My mother-in-law also got a Crohn’s diagnosis in her 30s. She had many bouts in and out of the hospital. Eventually, she switched to a vegetarian diet and has been doing well ever since.
just over a year ago, i started intermittent fasting. i had to adjust my start/stop times a few times to have a good 8 hour eating window. i learned that it's easier for me to be hungry at night. in the morning, it clouds my mind to have food to look forward to while hungry. for the first month or so, being hungry at night was frustrating and uncomfortable. i don't even think about it now. the hunger that we feel at that point isn't real hunger.
I also added a bit of Andrew Huberman morning and evening routine; i go to bed at the same time and wake early at the same time. every day.
and another Huberman - viewing sunlight.
this year, i will add consistent fiber and fermented foods to the trifecta. the three alone improved my mood and well being so much that i can now look forward to repairing my gut this year.
if you're on the fence, start small. have an accountability buddy (a friend and i still send a photo of our view or anything first thing and best if there's sun exposure involved).
❤
An accountability friend is a good idea.
One of the greatest episodes IMHO. It was very well explained how surges in sugar levels are harming us. I have also heard first time about surges of fat levels after eating and that this event takes 5-6h, so actually eating a typical ultraprocessed food full of sugar and fat causes 2 spikes in our blood and both lead to inflamations. It is also explaining why more and more specialists promote restricted time feeding.
Thank you very much for those podcasts!
I'm becoming a big fan of these videos from Zoe. Of course, I understand that there is a company behind them but the free content they release is great. I really enjoyed this subject as I have found it difficult to understand previously but not now. Johnathan has a fantastic skill in summarising the content. I would like to have heard chronic stress mentioned, though.
Excites me as well as a listener. I have been treating my anxiety and stress with Swisschems' Bromantane and Dihexa, and these products have been really helpful.
They should also discuss slow gut motility despite having adequate fibre intake - which could actually be the result of chronic stress. If you have slow gut motility with methane producing microbes, adding more fibre will only make the situation worse. Fibre is only beneficial if your plumbing works properly, otherwise you might end up with bowel obstruction or overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestines.
I love the format and content of these Zoe podcasts! And this one is amongst my favourites! ❤ Fascinating! It makes all connections at a very simple level (thank you Johnathan for wrapping up and simplifying the information) as well as providing clear more in-depth scientific explanations. I don’t have a problem with my attention span beyond 2 minutes, so I thoroughly enjoy a 1 hour talk especially about something that I am truly interested. I fully agree with the comment that we are all very diverse. Thank you Zoe for producing these wonderful podcasts! ❤ please keep making them!
I’ve listened to a ton of Zoe podcasts and this is one of my absolute FAVORITES.
Dr Spector - thank you very much to you and your colleagues for this session. I was a dentist for 50 years and when I was doing postgraduate studies at Indiana University during 1964-66 my MSD project and thesis was looking at inflammation in the dental pulp. Of course I undertook a considerable amount of reading round the subject and at that time your father was publishing on the subject and I used his technique of using Indian ink to show the location of capillary leakage. I have been interested in inflammation (and of course (as a dentist - 'deadly sugar')) ever since. This session has confirmed my understanding and brought it up to date. Many Thanks - I definitely should not have had the slice of Stollen that I brought up to my study with my (unsweetened) coffee to view the session‼😟
Hi Jonathan, wonderful interview again. I absolutely love these videos and I listen repeatedly! I often rewind some parts of the conversations to try to really understand (I'm not the brightest - especially the first time round)!! I just wanted to say thanks to you for being such a good interviewer and for steering the conversations so incredibly well. You are also very good at summarising and explaining in lay terms when you sense the conversation may be confusing and becoming a little technical for some of us! Keep up the good work. I'm battling inflammation and this has been very helpful. Thankyou.
I find it fascinating that as I listen I can mentally replace the word “inflammation” with “soil stress” and replace the word “gut” with “soils” and words replace “fast food/sugars” with whole plant/manure/compost inputs, the discussion can then be interchanges as a Plant Health/Edaphic Stress/Natural Inputs discussion, fascinating🐸
It all starts with how food is grown🐸excellent discussion❤️thank you❤️🐸

This is actually already available on all Zoe videos. Just click on 'more' and you will see a longer description of the video. Click 'more' again & there it is.
Perhaps a little more patience is required by some followers!
Thank you so much- just couldn't sit through another video😅
Thanks :)
Thanks so much
Excellent podcast, one of the best in an already great library of important topics. The topic of inflammation and its hidden dangers should be part of the mainstream conversation on health and this podcast should be compulsory viewing for everyone. Thanks Tim and Jonathan and everyone at Zoe for bringing us these important insights in a format and language that is easily understandable for all of us
Brilliant interview & discussion - super useful & very actionable. Huge thanks to all three of you. 👍👍👍
My CRP is 18. I have nonsymptomatic colitis. I’m so upset. So scared I’m getting sicker. This is perfect for me and giving me hope. I’m changing my food habits immediately. Thank you.
U can do it
Is your GP of any use?
My inflammatory is 21 I had blood tests because I woke up last march with my hands that swollen they looked like crab crawls. My hands are so stiff and hurt so bad. I get up every morning around 5 am but by 12pm I am done because of the pain. It totally drains me. I am having to take three power naps. I started taking ibuprofen and it helped. I was referred to consultant who said it wasn't inflammatory arthritis. This is also effecting my eyes I am having to use eye drops continuously because they are so dry my eyelids stick to my eyes. It hurts to open my eyes.
All this started straight after I had the covid vaccine. I had a major reaction. Straight away pins and needles and chronic pain in the shoulder. Within seconds every gland in my body popped up. My glands became so swollen I couldn't put my arms down my side or close my thighs. My health went down hill fast. It took 8 months fit my glands to go down. Then what followed was a severe chest infection that wouldn't go I had six courses of antibiotics. I was advised to not have any more vaccines. Which I haven't.
My hands elbows and shoulders have severe stiffness and pain. Getting tendinitis tennis elbow and painful shoulders. I feel like I am done. Pain relief isn't working.
Pains so bad it's making me miserable because I am not sleeping properly. I fall asleep and wake up frozen my joints feel like I have to crack them to move. I obviously don't move in my sleep and set. Pain is ruining my life.
I pulled some weeds up yesterday and today my hand is just pins and needles. No matter what I do I irritate my hands and arms. I just want to get well
@@Pugsrus fibromyalgia can cause tingling, numbness and swelling of hands and feet and extreme fatigue. Look it up for a complete list of symptoms. The dry eyes could be sjögren's syndrome which can be a comorbidity of fibromyalgia, or sjögren's syndrome can be a primary diagnosis.
You need a better specialist, if you can get one.
There are OTC treatments for the sjögren’s dry eyes and mouth for immediate help (even if you end up not having sjögren’s it’ll help your eyes). Use it when you wake up at night, immediately in the AM and before bed. Throughout the day too, as needed to prevent problems
Thanks guys! Keep them coming.
Thank you. I find your podcasts very informative and interesting. This information has really helped me and has changed my life for the better. I have never felt better. Thank you so much. I wish Zoe memberships were available in Canada.
I’ve been following Zoe for a few minutes the and this discussion was the best explanation of how the whole process works together thank you!
Months! Not minutes!
Great work! Lots of essential information, provided clearly and in an accessible manner.
Thank you so much for sharing all the valuable information, I'm having so much fun looking for new plants to try!
I Love Dr. Bulsiewicz's metaphore and explanations of the gut. He's an excellent teacher.
Great presentation. Thanks to all three of you:) I have taken up Tim's challenge to set a goal to eat each week, a diet that is largely plant-based, that includes nuts and seeds, and fermented foods, whole grains etc. that contains a variety of 30 different foods. This week, I have been keeping track and have at the end of day six, counted 51 different foods (16 different types of veg, 7 different types of fruit, 5 different type of nuts, 4 different types of seeds, 2 different types of cheese, Greek style plain yoghurt, Sauerkraut, 5 different types of whole grains, tofu, eggs, fish, and a small amount of meat, etc.). I didn't think this was possible but got a very pleasant surprise. Thank you Tim!
...and... its not difficult at all to have 30 different non-processed foods a week and majority plants... it also tastes great
Another great video, thoroughly interesting, look forward to the next one.
I am in the middle of the episode and loving it. We need to be patient to follow the conversation and logic. There is no simple answer to health matters. Jonathan, when you told Will that only a gastrologist could see our gut/intestines ideally as clear as a river, I went entirely with Will. Having done more than five colonoscopies because colitis; the last one, the practice said that my images were showing pink and bright (not opaque), and he would not have believed that I had colitis if he had not seen the old exams. I was happy as a child, as I had passed one year changing my diet, waiting three months without symptoms to stop medication.
Well, I changed my diet before Zoe, but I now follow you guys because it goes with the principles that are putting me in remission (now for three years without medication). Keep going; what you are doing is a hard job. I try to share my experience with friends about my pinky gut and at least five veg and fruits per day; nobody gives much importance; people think it is not a big deal. Well, we hopefully will get there.
Best wishes.
Thankyou for this excellent illuminating podcast, quite simply it joined all the dots for me.
I have just started an experiment: I have set 2 alarms on my phone. At 1600 I get an alarm message "Eating window opening" and at 1830 a second alarm "Eating window closing". This gives me 30 minutes to finish off before 1900 when I'm on water only until 1600 (some cups of black coffee in the morning, but that's it). This might be a good idea for some people. ⏰ ☕
Another excellent episode. People so underestimate dangers of snacking and of valuing their gut flora.
People need to hear more of you Guys.
As a retired mucosal immunologist, I am totally onboard with your scientific discussion. The only thing I am missing is that our immune system is not just a defensive system. Rather it is a decision making machinery which discriminates between active tolerance of harmless and defence against harmful substances . Recognising harmless substances such as food is just as important as defence.
It is not a machine, it is not mechanistic, it is a living, active eco-system.
Could you please do a blog or podcast about non- alcoholic fatty liver disease? So many people have it and it’s not that easy to get information regarding what dietary changes are needed to reduce risks. 😊
Great content, easy to understand and super helpful. Thank you.
This video couldn't be more timely for me. I just entered the perimenopause phase. I feel that my body has been inflamed everyday, not only when I got my period. My body is sore all over the place. I am 'tired but wired'. I have dificulties in remembering things, which have not been happenned to me before. Thank you Zoe, because I need this video more than ever🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
In summary, how to reduce inflamation:
1) Eat fermented food
Several portions a day (How???😭).
2) Eat 30 types of plant per week.
3) Intermittent fasting.
- Do not eat for at least 14 hours.
- Stop eating at least 4 hours before sleep.
4) Sufficient sleep.
5) Exercise.
Resistance training to build muscle (at least 3x per week) with cardio in between.
I love listening to Will and thank you for remembering us with Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis who cannot do all of Tim's suggestions.
Dr Brooke Goldner MD is doing ground breaking work with yours and all inflammatory disease
Great summary at the end from Jonathon, very useful.
Thank you so much for your videos. I find them so helpful and they make me think about what I eat.
Just love this …new year new me and new gut health 🙌🙌
Love the clarity of Johnathon's summary.
Thank you for this information!
An excellent video thanks!
I eat a great variety of plants everyday, but clearly not enough fermented foods. Thanks for this info!
I can't get enough of these podcasts. The knowledge is eye opening and empowering. Thank both doctors for sharing. My nerdy side is curious about the difference in diets between the UK and USA. Are there as many gastro cases in the UK as the US? Btw, the accents are a lovely delight, gentleman. Again, thank you for sharing such knowledge. May you reach billions and billions!
There is such a lot of talking, it would be so helpful to cut it down in length and simplify the message. How would one know if we had ‘gut inflammation?’ What foods should we be eating?
indeed. after a while you just turn off.
This video does not substitute medical advice, you need medical exams to know if you have gut inflammation or not. I DO have for the last 16 years, many ulcerative colitis flare ups and this last one lasts for 5 months now. I do not know how to tackle it, I take tons of anti-inflammatories. Doctors do not know about proper diets for IBD aka inflammatory bowel disease. Dr B knows à lot about it. In serious cases fibers must be introduced very- very gradually. If you think your gut is inflamed (though it has symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea/constipation or bloody stools), eat REAL food and FULL STOP for any junk food or ultraprocessed foods!
One study found that consuming kefir significantly reduced gut inflammation.
This is what I like about Zoe discussions, the participants get into the nitty gritty of the topic for those who want a deep dive into the knowledge.
WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASE. Cut out all animal, dairy, sugars, take away junk and processed junk, exercise and you be gaining more than you loose on junk goods.
Thank you for another very informative and interesting ZOE podcast. In the future can you do a podcast on Barrett' esophagus, symptoms and cause and foods to eat and avoid. I enjoy watching you three and the information in ZOE podcast. Thank you🙏
Absolutely brilliant love listening to you all ❤❤❤
Amazing as usual. Thanks
So Many thanks to you all
At last . . . . . short, snappy answers and to the point! Let us hope this form of education is catching.
Nice talk. Thank you.
This is the first ZOE video I have watched - I've always just heard the podcasts.. Great presentation and information. I'm subscribed! (WFPB 4.5 years and loving it, because I am Fiber Fueled!)

As always, really interesting. It's frustrating because I do know this stuff but the bad habits creep back insidiously. However, I do love fermented foods and can make them myself. I grow a lot of my own greens (brassicas) and other veggies. Many can be grown through the winter months where I live so they are organic. It's really easy. I just have to do it. Really enjoy your podcasts!!
Thank you. Im at the start of this journey. Let's see if it works
I was lucky, I grow up on old style farm, then in the late 1960s the Industrial agriculter moved in and within a few years, the land around us started to chaged, alonge with this came a shift in the food quality and output. I moved to London, it became quite a challenge to find foods I cold eat quicly, fast foods...because I worked in the entertainment industry. I started to search for foods, which would help. I came across a number of ideas, some worked well. One book really opend my mind. Pur White and Deadly by John Yudkin. I have not drunk Soft drinks, Coke, Pepsi or others kinds of soft drinks since the early 80s and stay-away from quick fix dinners. In fact, I have spending more time outdoors, Hunting, Fishing, searching for wild and grown food. I studied a number of Hunter-gathering groups in Canada. Lastly, I am lucky to have a Spanish wife and we spend a lot of time preparing Mediterranean foods.
As somone with Brain Tumors, Ankylosing, inflamatory arthritis, previous high blood presure and type 2 I cut everything but meat and it stopped most of the inflamation no carbs other than meat or animal products and high animal fats has totaly changed the amount of inflmatory issues I suffer with. No alcohol buttter coffees and eating once a day so my body has a chance to recover. Had vegan low fat pushed at me to find out it was literally killing me.
It is almost like there is a herbivore agenda to try to emulate the non-inflammatory carnivore diet with a plant based survival basket. The meat-based way of eating is far more ancestrally appropriate, with the hunt, kill, and roasting of food followed by a feast - eating until satiated. A herbivore consumes the nutritionally sparse foods throughout the day, but we are not well adapted to consume plants.
Good luck with the heart disease. my dad died because of heart attack by eating lean and grass fed meats. i also have psoriatic arthritis
@@Jonases_20 aren’t we supposed to eat the fat with grass fed meats? this is what Dr Berry is advising, interesting, very sorry you lost your dad.
take lg amts of vit d3
@@susibul5320 i was just eating lean, grassfed, air fried and organic meat since tgese doctors recommended it. i ditched sugar, carbs, fruits and veggies, dairy, gluten and processed foods. but we still suffered from this disease. when i started eating fruits and veggies, my symptoms improved
One of the best Zoe podcasts ever. As you said Will “ fantastic”.
Please branch out Zoe to Australia and New Zealand. Will I always laugh at your naive questions asking on our behalf.
Brilliant guys !…so well explained,and with a little bit of jest added to make us all laugh and smile..loved it …a very diverse subject broken down and explained, which is not one simple rule, but a few practical applications to how/what/when we should eat and go about living/sleeping/exercising……pretty simple really if you are serious about living well…now,where’s that bagel ..!
Thank you so much 🌻
Please release a Zoe recipe book :)
When is Zoe planning to start their program in Canada. We are looking forward to taking part!
I would like to know how someone with inflammatory bowel disease/colitis can improve their fibre in take without causing themselves huge issues. This is all so interesting and helpful, but I can’t find out anywhere what people suffering with these issues can do? I tried to join your diet plan but received the notification that you hadn’t quite worked this out yet. I would be very interested to be part of some sort of trial to help others with the same sort of issues as myself.
I love all the contents on your channel. It's scientifically based and well explained.
FINALLY! Someone on a Zoe talk acknologes those of us who have Crohns or Ucerative Colitis. It feels as if you studiously choose to ignore those of us who have these chronic inflamatoty bowel diseases.
it cannot be qured, but you can control it with your diet
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF IVE GOT HISTAMINE ISSUES
BYE THE WAT A FANTASTIC CONTENT HERE WITH TIM AND WILL
Great content! can you guys do a video specific to IBD and fecal calprotectin how to reduce those inflammation levels naturally!
I had very high levels. Decided to take all dairy and lately, almost all gluten ( I eat very rare a cake) and levels drop to a normal level. My Gastroenterologist was very surprised.
Last colonoscopy, only the scars from previous inflamation but no signs of IBD
Thk u guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I intermittent fast for 24 hours and I can think so clearly. If I eat within the morning, I often cannot think straight and feel I am within a fog. I am so tired in the morning, it feels as though I haven't slept, and need to sleep a few more hours. When I fast, I do not have these issues!

Another great podcast. @ZOE I just watched "You are what you eat" and am going to try out the 8 week vegan plant based diet myself to see what the results are. Only thing is I don't have access for all the tests that were done but will def see how I feel physically and mentally! Are there any programs that is available through ZOE that is similar to what they did in the short series on Netflix? Id be interested in signing up~
Thank you 👍
Thankyou! ❤️
Please can we have an episode on endometriosis and inflammation?
So ive been both a heavy meat eater and plant based. I do notice the pain is totally different during my period depending on what im eating.
I ended up going back to eating mostly plants fiber, and meat a few times a week verses everyday because i had the worst pain during my period eating a diet heavier in meat. Why? Because like the doc said saturated fat can hang around in the body and creates inflammation and it makes total sense. Try onmy eating meat a few times a week and increase your veggie and fruit intake, lentils are great , chic peas, quinoa.
Very interesting
Have had IBS for about 25 years but recently in the past 4 weeks its been better but i now have an inflamed lymph gland which was just checked for cancer at the hospital and thank God it was not.
Could this be connected to my gut getting better?
Thank you 😊
Love this topic! food is medicine ❤
My sense is that inflammation is basically a fight or flight response from the body which is no longer needed but has not been let go of. It's like the body just can't calm down and overreacts to everything inappropriately. I think this is completely tied together with emotions and past trauma.
I just had a stroke and apparently I have had a heart attack how do we know if we are suffering from inflammation besides checking C-reactive I absolutely had no idea I was in any kind of danger eat good sleep good exercise
On reflection, all my life ie since being born in the late 1970s i have craved and experienced fermented foods and still do. So interesting reflections, thanks for this video.
Can a specific diet help rheumatoid arthritis ,reduce swollen joints ankles,wrists etc.
Have you checked out Gabor Mate?!
With arthis
Arthritis practice a non inflammatory diet it will a lot no seed oils ever and gluten free breads pastas I take milk thistle krill fish oils and kimchi for gut it improved 100 percent u got this ❤

Re snacking at bedtime. Back in the 50s when I grew up, we only had a biscuit as a bedtime snack. Cakes were home made and only on special treats, like sunday teatime. And chocolate, sweets and crisps were too dear to fritter on a bedtime snack. Theyd be eaten in the daytime as a treat. They were 4p a packet in £.s.p old money. That was three packets of crisps for one shilling (1/-) ...5p (five pence) in todays money. Oldies like me, 73, will remember those days. Days when mum made meals from scratch, no processed foods. Typical home made meals were meat pie, greens, mash. Or chop peas and boiled potatoes. And rice pudding or bread pudding for afters. Biscuits were shop bought...Peek Freens, fig rolls, custard creams, or Lincoln. Who remembers those?? We never had many as people were less well off than today. Few people had xars, it was bicycles or mopeds. Few people had phones. It was black n white tv which went off at 10pm and played the national anthem. Most people stood in their living rooms to respect the Queen. Vast difference to today...not just with food, but with everything.
Thanks a lot for your advice. I really want to encourage my family members to increase their intake of fermented foods this year. However, they are concerned about some doctors giving out advice about the fermented vegetables and kimchi may lead to a high incidence of stomach cancer in Korea, China and Japan. Should we be worried about this? Thanks
Enlightening....
Any information about the treatment of ulcerative colitis? I would like to advise my daughter who has infusions every 6 weeks which seem not to be working now, which means she made need surgery. Is there another way please ?
Oh Jonathan, quit pretending to be surprised by these points. You've heard them all a dozen times from these guys. But I'm just ribbing you. I do love this podcast.
Gut health and Immune system, so fascinating ❤
could listen to this topic all day i get mine in my skin due to lack of vitamin d join all the dots together very interesting how it all works together
So is there a coronation between blood sugar (even prediabetes) and blood fat spikes or are they independent of each other?
I am truly surprised that Covid/Long Covid was not raised within this podcast relating to inflammation and damaged gut biom etc.
I wonder how the techniques and diet you m3ntion have an affect on teenage acne? Any study done?
My young great nephew is right now having a lot of pain and his mother has taken him to the hospital several times. I believe he has now been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. As a older person I reminded my nieces that there Aunty on the other side of the family had Crohn’s disease at a young age.
Could an individual diet work for the young great nephew?
Sounds sustainable!
I've been told to avoid Yeasts, Bread, Milk because of an inflammatory disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. So now it's difficult to eat the things I used to for a healthy microbiolome. Any tips Zoe? I'm an investor.
Given the recurring theme of "more fermented foods", I wonder if ZOE had insights into what microbiome is like in Korea and Japan, and how different it is to Europe and USA. Korea and Japan have plenty fermented foods (kimchi, nato, miso, and so on), eat lots of plants and vegetables, but also indulge in ultra-processed foods, not to mention alcohol and tobacco way beyond what is acceptable in Europe. And still Korea and Japan have life expectancy well beyond us.
Traditionally, they had much lower rates of colon cancer, but higher rates of stomach cancer due to the presence of virulent forms of H. pylori bacteria.
But they still get cancers
It is better however it is not the ideal. They still have higher obesity rates than they should.
From what we know from science - we shouldn't be eating processed foods at all. We should be focusing on a diet close to keto, paleo, or Mediterranean. Veggies, fruit, protein (meat, seanfood, eggs), healthy fats, nuts, and seeds, some legumes, very little grains. This is the best diet- want to go even further fasting and low carb have amazing health benefits.
What about taking bedtime medication? Does that impact the 14 hour fasting or is it only food.
6:48 how long is considered chronic inflammation? 1 year, 2 years? I’m suffering scalp inflammation irritation for about 2 years after a surgery to remove a benign brain tumor meningioma. I need help. Neurologist only way to treat pain.
although....according to cardiologist for ex Malhotra and others, there is no good or bad LDL/HDL cholestrorol/fat? can I get a response on this?
Few weeks ago I had CRP because I was sick, CRP was 5, so is that means I don't have chronic inflammation?
Over 5 months ago, I joined ZOE and have lost 17kgs and have completely fixed my IBS thanks to my changes in relationship with food & health.
Documenting this on my channel and hope to see some of you there! ❤
It would have been great to at least mention what fermented foods are and give some examples.
Thank you all.
Is it important to consume a variety of fermented foods/drinks.. say you could have a probiotic vegan drink in the morning, then sauerkraut with lunch and then tempeh or miso with dinner or could you just have the same fermented product 3 times a day?
I wish the Zoe app was available in Europe, too :(
It is. I live in London and I've done the Zoe programme. During the pandemic I reported regularly on the Zoe symptom app.
What blood markers does Zoe reference as an indicator of inflammation? CRP/ESR/PV?
I wish that there was a way to provide gift subscriptions.
It would also be good to be able to contribute to a pool of money to pay for people who can’t afford to use Zoe but are really interested in it
Some months ago i was recently diagnosed with erosion of the stomach lining. No feedback on the probable cause and how to treat it. Also Some years ago i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, have arthritis of the joints and treatment for breast cancer 5 years ago. I took it upon myself to eat saurkraut, in the hope that my stomach will at least get to the level where it will heal. Great advise and really helpful so i can address my issues. Thank you so much.
Hi I hope it’s not the case but did you get a stool test done to check for h Pylori for the stomach? Also did the sauerkraut help?
