Davina McCall is a presenter, mum, women’s health advocate and, now, a ZOE ambassador.
She takes us through her health journey; from her hedonistic 20s to her 30s defined by 'brutal' fad diets and just trying to get some sleep as a busy working mum in her 40s and finally at 55, Davina shares why she feels even better than she did at 25.
Watch Davina discover the power of personalised nutrition, get to know her gut, and chat with ZOE scientific co-founder Professor Tim Spector as he reveals the best foods to support her goal of going clubbing with her grandkids.

Great lovely Davina 😊- would be lovely to see if Zoe could also trial & film a member of the general public who deserves/needs to look after themselves like a carer…
Exactly!
Yes someone who is needing some real tlc
Exactly. I'm 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap.
You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks and enjoy life 💟
Adore Davina, such a warm, friendly person. She’s an incredible role model for taking care of yourself and how it impacts your mindset, therefore leading to a zest for life, energy, happiness, can do attitude. She’s such a magnet for positivity and I only hope I can reflect half of what she’s got at her age when I’m older. Well done Davina, you’re inspiring and look bloody fantastic!
Please please please Zoe ,come to Australia. We need this so badly.
Love the Zoe approach- have been on it for a year and recommend to everyone 😊. Thankfully I don’t have a sweet tooth but did always enjoy the odd sweet treat - nowadays it tastes awful so thankful for that and thank you Zoe ❤
Please do more on CZcams Davina, miss the videos !
I have been on the Zoe program for 8 months now and feel so much better than I have ever felt. I am 64 so this is something of an achievement. I have just completed a gut health re-test and am hoping the changes I have made (which are considerable) will result in a better gut health score. My blood fat and sugar control were already good.
I enjoy my revised diet and how it makes me feel!
God bless 🙌 you enjoy your self
Fab interview….I’ve watched this 3 times and even got my husband to sit through it……. And guess what!!!!! He’s going to do the Zoe test!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! I’m a big fan of ZOE and have been for some time but this ‘advert’ has made us finally sign up. By the way….. a lot of this is down to you Davina.. you speak for a lot of people who want to up their game and feel fabulous. Brilliant!!!!!
🎉
I have been on it for 12 months now . I have never felt so good and able to cope both physically and mentally it's amazing . I have never been able to.lose weight without starving myself . Now I eat anything I want but have added so many foods to my diet .
Davina is such a fabulous woman, positive attitude, great smile. Love you Davina
You’re a great ambassador Davina! I’ve been doing Zoe since February and can’t speak highly enough about it and how much better I feel. I didn’t think I was doing too badly before, but now I’m eating for my own biology I’m absolutely loving it. What is even better - I’ve discovered a whole load of new foods that I wouldn’t have considered before or maybe thought were too fattening! I don’t feel I’m depriving myself in any way at all - quite the opposite in fact. I love my new life eating plan and know that I’ll never go back. It is a bit pricey but for me absolutely worth the investment in myself to live as a healthy and happy person to the very end hopefully ❤
I was thinking about doing this, and watching Davina and reading your comment has made me decide to give it a go! 😊
Is this way of eating your point of reference for life @pipskilou4128? What I mean by that is, say for example you start a new medication or you go through a very stressful period of life. Both of those will change your gut microbiome. Does that mean your response to the foods you once knew were good for you may change as your body will react differently?
Fabulous interview with Tim And Davina.

Recap by Tammy AI
I have been following the Zoe approach since March and heard about it via the Zoe Health app where i reported daily. I signed up as soon as I heard about it. Knowing what foods suit you is the key and I have changed some habits as a result, although my diet was good before it has definitely improved further. Whilst I can see the benefits of a celebrity endorsement, I would certainly cheer more loudly if the celebrity was morbidly obese and had changed their lifestyle and reaped the benefits of a much more healthier approach to their diet.
Imagine what Davina would look like if she was active in U S culture -- wouldn't be recognisable with cosmetic work and styling etc -- Thank goodness we quite like people to look after themselves but still keep their originality
Davina, you are an inspiration!!! 🔥😍🥰🤩
Awer I loved this davina , ur such an inspiration I lost 4 stone following you . I done sW an keto but am interested in this patch from Tim xx
Don’t like kimchi etc BUT sauerkraut in homemade labne and kimchi in yoghurt as a dressing, AMAZING! Thankyou
So fruits, veggies, nuts etc are good. Fermented food is good, coffee is good but sodas are not. If you eat better your microbiome will benefit and your overall health will improve. Many thanks Davina and Tim.
Never heard of water kefir - very intrigued - sounds like something I might like!
I really enjoyed this video. Interesting suggestiins for drinks from Tim. Tim and Davina are both insirational.. It was refrshing to hear about her experience with Zoe. I would enjoy more videos like this as well as the science . Thank you Zoe. 🎉
Amazing ❤
What’s best to look for on the label when choosing kombucha, and water kefir?
Please bring ZOE to France.
Cool vid! 👍
Love Davina ❤
Good of Davina to offer her help to ZOE. Was that for free, to support their admirable aims?
Does anyone know what the long, golden, narrow kitchen appliance in the back is? Is that a coffee grinder or an esspresso machine?
Will it ever be available in the Republic of Ireland?
Wish Zoe would come to Australia
OMG I have the same issue with chocolate, and a few weeks ago I discovered that if I eat dark chocolate (85+%) I don't have the urge to eat too much and I am still very satisfied.
I have Ulcerative Colitis which is completely in remission and have been told that I should not do Zoe. I’d love to know why?
What is the brand of the tea?
Hi all, anyone know were I can get my hands on the drinks . Water Kathia
Are all commercial kombuchas healthy? If some are better than others, how do I choose which to buy?
I am interested in the Zoe programme but am put off by the idea of eating your standard muffins as I’ve been gluten free since 2014 due to Hashimoto’s disease (think I have n.c.g.s) is there an alternative?
Hi Tansy, our muffins are actually gluten free so unless you have coeliac disease this shouldn’t be an issue 💛
What a world we live in. Some people are able to indulge themselves with eating an individualised diet, with all the choices that brings and there’s nothing wrong with that. Isn’t science wonderful! Then we have children living in destitute families, not getting enough food of any kind to allow them to thrive, play, learn at school. That is totally unacceptable!
Please could you list the things Davina tried - the water and tea and so on. Thanks.
I was interested too and think I managed to track it down by pausing and studying the video. I'm pretty sure the kombucha is by Jarr and the water kefir is by London Fermentary. I don't know about the kimchi because I couldn't see any packaging, however I noticed that London Fermentary also do various flavour of sour kraut AND a vegan kimchi. I hope this helps...
@@debbieaustin2549 oh yes, thank you!!
@@emilyhops2566No problem at all ☺
Today, I discovered that the kombucha in the video is by Momo (not Jarr). I found it in our amazing local health food shop (Apothecary 27 in Haslemere, Surrey) and I bought the raspberry & hibiscus (very nice) and the lemon & ginger (not tried yet) flavours - they also stocked the elderflower flavour shown here but I didn't buy it.
The shop also stocked the London Fermentary vegan kimchi (I bought & tried with cream cheese - very nice) and various krauts (I bought the carrot kraut on the shop owner's recommendation - really really nice on it's own).
What a gorgeous woman ❤
What are the best fruit kefir and kombucha to buy
Make your own, they’re all EASY and only need incredibly basic ingredients. Google it! Much more likely to be the real thing!
Amazing how she looks back on her 20s and 30s.
I ❤coffee. I love Kimchi too!
Too late for me.. Can you do one for 65+??
Woah ...she looks younger...
Where are your dungarees from!!!
This was really sweet to watch, but I'm still not convinced that people need CGMs to discover that their bodies respond well to real food.
Except I discovered I respond REALLY badly to even brown rice and bread....
@@annep7979 brown rice is surprising, but even wholemeal bread has very little fibre so that's more understandable.
@@annep7979 did you find your reaction was different depending on what you put on the bread?
@@annep7979 having looked online neither of them contain much fibre!
@@annep7979That not at all surprising. Wholemeal bread and brown rice are still extremely high in starch, and very low in protein and fat. Hence they will spike glucose in everyone.
Davina looks like she grew younger.
Make you’re own kefir, kombucha, and ferments it is totally easy, save you a fortune and saves on throw away plastics
I want to do it but don't want to eat animal products as I've been vegan for four year's now. Is it possible? I've been eating your breakfast IE the fruit, seeds etc but with alpro plant based yoghurt...
You might want to look at the ingredients in the yoghurt - artificial sweetners, binding agents etc. If you can't find it in your kitchen, try to avoid putting it in your stomach. I was Vegan until I started watching the ZOE podcasts. Weighing up the choices, I decided to cut the Vegan dairy replacements and go back to eggs and cheese sourced from organic local suppliers.
@@AlbertonBeastmasterIndeed, veganism is bad for your health in the long-term.
Have you actually looked at the price of Kombucha??
Hi Jane, making it yourself is far cheaper. There are lots of videos on here to learn how if you’re interested 💛
I can’t afford the Zoe app but I would love a list of recommend Kefir Water and Kumbuca tea as I just saw the side of the bottle and would like to know the brand in order to buy some as well as a recommended dark chocolate.Please can you list a recommendations for a weekly shop of foods.Thanks
God is there no end to the hot air this woman can spout!!!
[ Stay cool Davina ]
Nothing is so simple or works so well as the Atkins Diet. I must have bought at least 40 copies of the book and given them as gifts. What I found is that people that say "it doesn't work or it's too hard to follow" either didn't read the book cover to cover or for some reason can't seem to follow a very simple program. Yes, the first two weeks are a bit tough and if a person can't give two weeks in order to make their health better for life, well, sorry for you. Read the book cover to cover, follow it and you will be able to control your weight and health for life. Here is what it comes down to...
First two weeks pretty much no carbs. You will lose a lot of water weight during this time. Your cravings for sweets will fade after a few days however you need to have discipline and not cheat. You weigh yourself everyday as close to naked as possible in the interest of accuracy. Log your weight every day. Then, after two weeks you start to add back the carbs and log your weight every day. You will find a point where you don't gain weight and a point where you start to gain weight. Knowing that point and learning what foods and drinks have how many carbs, you will know how many carbs you can have and not gain weight. Easy. And of course some carbs are better or worse than others (table sugar bad, sugar from fruit or vegetables not as bad). For me, a male, my no gain weight carbs was about 60 per day. It varies person to person and male to female. That's why you log your weight and track your carbs until you know where you stand.
Isn’t that cream cheese an ultra processed food???
If its Philadelphia, that rated as a good one in the ZOE studies and not ultra processed.
I’m not familiar with her, so she was a big brother persona?
Is it me or she was flirting with him?
Are herb teas not better, O YES SAUERKRAUT THE BEST SPECIAL IF YOU MKE IT YOURSELF
Davina is such a score , she's so disarming - and this is a great all round, accessible explainer. Shame about the constant background music - it's like the diet Coke of content production, best in tiny doses, especially when the dialogue is this good.
Condor
My ex had a huge crush on Davina - he thought her nose sexy
no, he just believes he has a chance with her as she has that nose. Guys go for what they **think** they can get, girls go for what they want
Davina - i don't drink alcohol. Phil - here drink this kombucha. Hmmm...
I admire her and she is so attractive but a bit more weight would suit her face 😊
I love that she hasn’t succumbed to filler and Botox. She’s real... I think she’s beautiful and her healthy hair softens her petite face.
I have a similar body type as davina, although I’m younger, and in order to keep my bum and hips at a size that I like, it means that my upper body and face are very small. You can’t help fat distribution and lord knows if I had a chubby face and flat bum, I’d be yearning for cheekbones and a bubble butt! 😂
I agree she didn't have wrinkles around her mouth before.
I like ZOE but I hate it when people take God's name in vain in public.😢
Good God, chill out. 🙂
Oh my god chill
Very thin in the face Davina...
Can you please stop commenting on people’s appearance, body or looks
She looks great!
Upload a pic of yourself so we can see what you look like
@@annawasser7724
But she is very thin in the face, she’ll look awful into her sixties if she carries on doing this. It seems we can only comment on Davina’s appearance if we’re saying nice things, but we’re not allowed to mention a truth that some people would rather ignore!
Using these TV so called celebrities downvalues what you are trying to achieve. Listening to professional dieticians and doctors is enough to convince the public. All Davina talks about is herself. So unconvincing.
Respect for her very strog women 🫶🏻🇽🇰🥰
