Welcome to hoovering, the podcast about eating.

I'm Jessica Bostikyu. I love eating as much as anything else in the world. But also, it sometimes brings me conflict, shame and all sorts of other things that are rubbish. It's complicated and I think fascinating. This is a conversation with an interesting soul, not just about food, but about gobbling

it up, or if you will, Hoovering. Hello, ponies, welcome to Hoovering. I've been planning

to do this one for a while and I've only just finished the required reading. I am talking in this episode to a professor,

no less, academic and author of the pioneering and brilliant, I think, books, the diet myth

and spoon-fed Tim Specter. He's an expert on the gut and how what we eat affects our gut,

and as we're learning, as a a result of that having increasingly massive repercussions

on all sorts of things to do with our physical and almost inevitably mental health.

Thanks for listening to Hoovering though. First of all, can you tell every other sausage to listen to it?
