Every time you cook a meal, you could be shaping your mood, energy and how clearly you think, as well as supporting your long-term brain health.
In this episode, we explore the links between diet, gut microbes, inflammation and brain health with Professor Tim Spector.
And we get really foodie, talking through a day of eating, from his go-to breakfast to easy midweek dinners.
Professor Spector is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London, a pioneering gut microbiome researcher, scientific co-founder of ZOE and bestselling author. His new cookbook, Good Mood Food, explores how what we eat shapes how we feel, think and age.
