This podcast has been sponsored by Zoe, the personalized nutrition program that helps you understand how to eat for your long term health.

Now, long-timelessness of the podcast may remember Zoe from previous episodes, or I've recorded with Zoe Co-founder, Professor Tim Specter.

He's an expert on the gut microbiome and professor specter and his team of scientists discovered that identical twins can have completely different responses to the same food.

And this is something we talk about with our clients all the time in the clinic.

And that means that both twins could eat a sugary muffin, and they would have a complete different response, which is fascinating.

And one could feel great, and the other could feel that slump, and the increased hunger due to their different blood sugar responses.

So, here we go. Zoe's research found that the change in blood sugar and blood fat levels can vary 10 fold from person to person.

And on top of that, identical twins only share a quarter of their gut bugs, despite being genetically identical.

So, basically, we're all different, which is what we talk about all the time in the podcast, where unique in how we respond to food and how we process what we eat.

This solidifies what we've always believed.

There is now so much advice around what we should be eating and all too often sound advice gets lost amongst ill-informed nutrition.

This is particularly relevant for pregnant women. The diet you have in the lead up to conception and during your pregnancy should be straightforward, but all too often I see women becoming overwhelmed and confused with so much misinformation online.

Reassurance can often come from being with other women in the same trimester as you, so the app peanut has created a very safe space to connect with other women who are mothers, pregnant or trying to conceive.

It's a great way to connect with women nearby to build those friendships, ask questions and find support.

If you're looking to meet other women at a similar stage in life, download the peanut app for free today on your app store or head to peanut.app.link
