Summary
Today we’re going to talk about something a little different with a good friend of mine, Dr John Sykes aka “health and fitness doctor”.
Director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr John is a qualified GP with a strong interest in Sports Medicine. He regularly lectures at Bristol medical school and he’s the reason why I’ve been dragged down there so many times to talk to medical students!
In this episode, we talk about why movement and exercise can benefit:
- Inflammation balance
- Support mitochondria
- Weight loss and how this affects inflammation
- Cardio respiratory fitness and its relationship to longevity
- Cancer and preventing recurrence as well as improving outcomes during treatment
Follow Dr John on Instagram and Twitter.

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.7 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.6 | taken advice from guests, all like me you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.4 | you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle but you still feel fatigued in the |
| 0:20.8 | afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply isn't enough |
| 0:27.0 | for your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you |
| 0:32.8 | find yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does what generic advice can't do. They |
| 0:39.1 | look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and you've got microbiome to help you understand how |
| 0:44.8 | different foods affect your body so you can feel your best. Nailing your own nutrition can have huge |

| 0:56.0 | supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they might have little effect on |
| 1:00.3 | someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation personalized nutrition takes away |
| 1:06.5 | that trial and error and that very long process of trying to figure out what's going on inside |
| 1:10.8 | your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life changing for its members who've reported feeling |
| 1:17.3 | less tired after lunch and that the energy levels are far more consistent. Discover what eating for |
| 1:22.7 | your best health really looks like. Go to joinzoey.com and use kitchen, 10% discount that's kitchen, |

| 1:40.8 | all about how we harness nutrition and lifestyle to beat and prevent illness whether we're talking about |
| 1:47.0 | brain health, skin health or even our mood. The second part compliments the science with 18 |
| 1:53.4 | new delicious recipes from all over the world that are fast, simple and absolutely incredibly |
